Editoral Review
Amy A. Bartol’s Intuition, published in December 2011, is a compelling addition to the young adult fiction genre.
With a captivating plot, intriguing characters, and a unique take on supernatural abilities, this book will surely leave readers satisfied. The story follows Evie Claremont, a high school senior who mysteriously acquires the ability to read people’s thoughts.
Her newfound powers attract the attention of a secret institute that trains individuals with exceptional abilities, and she enters a world of danger and intrigue. Along the way, she clashes with the brooding and enigmatic Reed Wellington, who harbors a dark past and is tasked with keeping her safe.
Bartol’s writing style is engaging and vivid, immersing readers in the world of Intuition. The pacing is fast but balanced, with plenty of action interspersed with moments of emotional depth.
The characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional, particularly Evie and Reed, who have a complicated and compelling dynamic. One of the strengths of Intuition is its exploration of power dynamics and morality.
Evie’s ability to read minds raises questions about privacy and consent, while the institute’s methods of training and control call into question the ethics of using power for personal gain. These themes add depth and nuance to the story, elevating it beyond a typical supernatural romance.
However, the book is not without its flaws. The romantic subplot feels somewhat formulaic and predictable, and the world-building could have been more fleshed out.
Additionally, some readers may find the ending unsatisfying, as it leaves several loose threads that are presumably addressed in the sequel. Despite these limitations, Intuition is a solid and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of young adult literature, particularly those who enjoy supernatural elements.
It is reminiscent of other popular works such as Twilight or The Mortal Instruments series, but has a unique charm and voice of its own. Overall, Amy A.
Bartol’s Intuition is a well-written and engaging novel that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. Its themes about power and morality add substance to a genre that can sometimes be dismissed as shallow, and its characters are memorable and relatable.
This book is highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and thought-provoking read. Rating: 4/5 stars.
