Will the Time Come #623, May 11th

Every Thursday I am going to list a book which I really want to read/keep meaning to get to. These are mostly books which have been on my shelf for awhile now but don't have to be, maybe you got it two weeks ago and really want to read it! Thanks to Jodie from Books for Company for this meme!

Science and magic lead to danger in this sequel to The Unnaturalists, which School Library Journal called “an entertaining mix of steampunk and fantasy.”

After Vespa, Syrus, and Bayne defeated the Grue and restored order to their world in The Unnaturalists, they thought their future was secure. Empress Olivia, committed to peace and equality for humans and Elementals alike, was a fair and just ruler. And the Creeping Waste had vanished, giving them hope for the first time.

But rebellion is brewing in the far-off city of Scientia, and dark Elementals are plotting war in the ruins of New London. Before they know what’s happening, Vespa, Syrus, and their friends are plunged into a new swamp of intrigue, deception, and magic—and the cost of survival may be more than any of them are willing to pay.

Why the time hasn't come yet...
I really enjoyed the first book, but it's been so long since I read it, that I'll need to reread it before I get to this one! What about you guys? Happy reading!

Week 48 Review: The Unnaturalists

From Goodreads:
In an alternate London where magical creatures are preserved in a museum, two teens find themselves caught in a web of intrigue, deception, and danger.

Vespa Nyx wants nothing more than to spend the rest of her life cataloging Unnatural creatures in her father's museum, but as she gets older, the requirement to become a lady and find a husband is looming large. Syrus Reed's Tinker family has always served and revered the Unnaturals from afar, but when his family is captured to be refinery slaves, he finds that his fate may be bound up with Vespa's—and with the Unnaturals.

As the danger grows, Vespa and Syrus find themselves in a tightening web of deception and intrigue. At stake may be the fate of New London—and the world.

My Review:
This was a really fantastic book! I enjoyed reading it so much, of this world with New London, and how it's different from our world, yeah, it was really fantastic to read! I enjoyed it so much! So yeah, that it's a series!

Told from Vespa and Syrus's POV's, we got to see more of what was going on, of the threads that were connecting everything, and maybe see where things might be going. Maybe. It was just a blast to read this book!

I found it so funny, that science was a religion, when they live in a magical world. Maybe because of it. But it just seems so bizarre, and strange, and just a part of this fascinating world that I want to know more about, which I can, seeing as it's a series!

This was really excellently plotted! Such wonderful twists, and such events that made this book unputdownable! I enjoyed it so much, and with that ending, and what was left open, well, I know that I'll be reading the sequel!

Such a fantastic book, and I can't wait for the sequel!
