This is a highly creative and unique story that grabs you from the very beginning. I felt like I was part of the story and watching it all unfold in front of my eyes. The main character, Brody was done exceptionally well. I found myself rooting for him throughout the chapters. Sky was another cool character. Another thing I enjoyed was the great descriptions of the environment, strange animals, and beings. It was just enough to create a picture in my mind, without being overly descriptive. This is an easy to read, fast paced and highly entertaining read. Fans of science-fiction, fantasy, and thrillers will enjoy this great novel. Now that I'm hooked and invested in the characters, I'm going to start reading the sequel to find out what happens next." "Blink had me hooked from the first chapter." "This is a really interesting beginning to a series, and I'm excited to read more. The writing is unusual, in a good way. It makes sense once I read a little more about the author. The discovery of new life from those who are different from us can be a frightening and uncomfortable thing, but this discomfort is a good one. Cool theme. It makes us question what we believe and who we are and encourages us to learn about new things. I loved the relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist. I thought they had such a great dynamic. I also love the way the dialogue plays out between them as well as the other characters. I love that when you think the antagonist is going to do something really horrible to the protagonist, it takes a completely different direction instead." "If you're in the market for a fast-paced thrill of a read with twists and turns aplenty, then you really need look no further than BLINK, the first instalment in the YA fantasy/sci-fi Blink Series. Exciting, dramatic and gripping right from the first page to the last, Michael Riggs has presented us with the perfect opportunity to get completely lost and absorbed in this fantastic novel, at least for a few hours! Books have always been the most perfect form of escapism to me, and if you too are looking for something to take your mind of the current state of the world then BLINK really does deserve a place at the top of your TBR list. It's not often that you come across a fantasy/sci-fi novel that, while using many of the traditional themes and tropes that we all know and love, manages to feel completely fresh and unique, even to this devotee of the genre. I won't give too much away here in terms of the plot, as due to the relatively short length this is easily a book you could devour in a single sitting. In fact, I'm sure that must be the only way to read it, as once you begin, I don't think you'll be able to stop!
