Dissever Unbinding Fate Book 1 eBook Colee Firman
Addy has lived with the Akori (a mysterious race of magical people whose origins Firman never explains) all her life as a human. She has the hots for hunky Gage, who ignores her like a big brother. Together they live in a mansion that relocates constantly. Addy has been groomed all her life to take over being the Overseer for her grandfather. This means she spends loads of time reading books in the library and learning martial arts.They finally get to the beach, a place they rarely live. Addy meets rocker Tanner and is intrigued. Lots of angst and drama. Lots of secrets and lies revolving around like brew in a cauldron. Is this new guy she just met her brother, Jax? What's his deal? Why is he being chased by these renegade Akori, who then attack the mansion?
It all gets too real when Gage Scatters (Akori don't really die often, they just go to another plane for a bunch of years and come back a lifetime later). Tanner is there to pick up Addy's pieces.
I really enjoyed the interesting premise of this book, enough that I picked up the next two books. It has a great voice, which you can really hear coming through Addy. Although they are teens, there isn't any sex or bad language--a big plus in my eyes. The love built between Addy and Gage felt real and substantive and it made my toes curl. Damaged and mysterious Tanner is an interesting character. I enjoyed the moving house and real-feeling characters.
Firman's overuse of the word 'was' really bugged me, along with a few other writing quirks. I kept trying to rewrite her book in my head. There are gaping plot holes like who the heck are the Acori and why are they here and what do they want? Why doesn't Addy know anything about her parents and why hasn't she bugged the nuggets out of her grandfather to know that? Why isn't Addy more upset when her life's work is yanked away from her? Did she have any kind of contingency plan? College maybe? And how do these people support themselves? Why were they raised there all together but they're not supposed to answer to the call of nature? I guess she could have made it clearer that Gage and Addy are sort of orphans. Also the lying to the reader gets old. I can take a twist here and there, but no wonder Addy wants to get away if her entire life is always a lie. I feel like Colee could have handled that differently.
This story has really good bones. I'm rooting for it and for Addy and Gage.
Note about the rest of the series: I did get two other books in the series, but the last two have sex, bad language, and the reviews are wretched. I don't know if I want to get them to find out what finally happened to everybody, or bail because of the deal-breaker sex and language. From what they say, Firman abandoned the book for all intents and purposes. Maybe she could rewrite it before I get to that part. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way. Addy and Gage (who I really hope she'll end up with) are crying out for you to save them, Colee.

Dissever Unbinding Fate Book 1 eBook Colee Firman Reviews
I will give it that the story is well written. I didn't see any glaring spelling/grammar mistakes. No missing words. There was one tiny glitch of a tense being confused, but whatever, it's fine. That wasn't the problem.
The problem I had with this book came in stages.
The prologue seemed entirely disjointed. Whatever tensions existed then seemed to have been resolved before the main story took place. Then the main story takes a while to start because the story had to be sidelined by one gigantic info dump first. By the time the story itself actually started I had no emotional connection to the main character and no desire to connect to her at all.
Finally, I had to put it down because the main character actually became self-aware of the fact that she was a main character doing the exact stupid thing that all main characters seem to do. After that I just couldn't continue, I had to walk away.
SUMMARY
Overall I have to say I enjoyed this book, although it was a little slow getting into. I found myself putting it down and not picking it up again for several days until I was about 1/3 of the way into it. However, as hard as I tried to follow along, it all seemed a little confusing to me. There was not enough explanation throughout the story about who each of these characters really were and what their roles were. For example, I get that the Overseer is in charge...but in charge of what? Do the Akori report to him? Does he make important decisions? And what is the history behind the Akori; who are they? What did they use their powers for before it was taken away? And what, exactly, do all the friends do in the estate besides "hang out" and train? The action scene at the end was very intense and I found myself grimacing at times, however I was frustrated by not being able to follow all the information that was revealed at once. Also, I wished the story had not cut off so quickly. I love a good cliffhanger, but with all the build-up and new characters being introduced right at the end, I expected at least some sort of immediate resolution before the characters jumped right into another predicament (leading to the second book).
CONS
There were the typical spelling and grammatical errors that you find in self-published books, enough that they really slowed the flow of reading. Since the author has also released Books 2 and 3 in this saga, I would think the errors in book 1 should have been corrected by now. The author totally overuses italics in an attempt to add emphasis. Many times it threw me off, because the word that was italicized didn't sound right to me as I tried to put emphasis on it and I would find myself re-reading the sentence over to get it right. The reader needs to be trusted enough to understand the tone in which it was written without the need for italics.
Another thing that just grated on my nerves was that Tanner constantly referred to Addy as "girlie". Ugh. It just drove me nuts, and I'm not sure why but I always read that word in a country voice. I get that the author was trying to depict a playful relationship between Tanner and Addy, but why couldn't she have come up with a pet name for her that had some meaning and was easier on the nerves? Even doll, baby doll, doll face, doodle bug (maybe there was a doodle bug on her leg the day they met and she screamed and made him get it off) any of those would depict a cute, playful relationship that is not necessarily romantic. Anything but girlie.
I was really confused about the whole security behind hiding the estate. It made sense at first, I mean when you're hiding, what better way than to move your entire home to a completely new location. When I began to question it was when the characters then all took off to the beach, to town to shop, out clubbing late at night. If there is a big enough threat that you must move your entire estate, why would they all be allowed to just explore their new town without any sort of guards. Addy and Kim spent an entire day shopping and when they returned there was no concern at all that they'd been alone.
I didn't feel like the characters were explained well which left me confused many times. Forgive me if it was explained and I just forgot, but I don't recall hearing an explanation about why Kim's family would allow her to live away from them. That made no sense. Obviously she had a family because several times there was a threat that she would be sent "home". I would have also liked to have a better explanation as to why Gage didn't talk to Addy for so long. Once they reconnected, I feel like the author should have developed that relationship a little more slowly. One day they are awkwardly talking and the next she's on his lap and they are "cuddling" all the time. I didn't feel the connection.
I had trouble believing Addy's character. Once she realized she'd been deceived by who she thought were her friends, you would think she would be naturally suspicious of everyone. So many secrets had been kept from her, yet when she flies across the country and finds a book in one night that no one in the past has ever been able to locate, she has no qualms about running home and telling Bernard all about it. The whole time she was telling him I was shouting in my head, "What? How do you know he's not in on it?"
PROS
The concept of the estate moving was very unique and interesting. I liked that this story began on the beach, it was a fun, playful setting. I loved Gage! I hope that he plays a big part of the next book. The final scenes of the book were very exciting. So much so that I stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish it! When I read what Jax was going to have to do to summon Eva I was both afraid and excited to keep reading.
I gave this book 3 stars, despite all the things that frustrated me about it because the storyline was enough to make me want to read more. Because this is the first book released from this author, I have big expectations for the second book and I will definitely be purchasing it. I just hope the author takes the time to polish the first book.
