The Heartbeat Thief by AJ Krafton


4 Stars 

Dark and Poetic, Our main Character Senza Fyne, terrified of death would sell her should for eternal life. And thats exactly what she does without a second thought. We see what it really means when people say be careful what you wish for..


General Comments

This book was an interesting read and an interesting take on death and becoming immortal. We follow senza’s path and watch her figure out immortality might not be all what its cracked up to be. For the most part I enjoyed this book I liked the writers take on death and becoming immortal, it was a version I never read before.

Characters

Senza Fyne the girl who acts without thinking. She annoyed me in the fact that she was naive (but what 17 year old isn’t really) and that she was so scared of death she jumped at the chance to stay young and beautiful without thinking of the consequences. She assumed to much and had to deal with everything that followed. I think she was well written we see her age mentally and come to terms with how her life will be. Yet theres still that 17 year old girl in there at times.

World Building

The world building was really cool, we get to grow old with Senza and travel through time with her. We are taken to some familiar historical locations and we get to live through the famous events that had taken place.

I felt the inspirations that were taken from Edgar Allen Poe it had a very creepy poetic feel to it at some points.In the end I think a message from this book would be live life everyday as it comes and enjoy it, don’t be scared of something that is just apart of life.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
