Editoral Review
Richelle Mead’s The Meeting is a spellbinding addition to the sci-fi and fantasy genre. Mead, best known for her New York Times bestselling book series Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, has crafted a literary masterpiece that is refreshing, bold, and filled with an exciting plot and unique characters.
The Meeting, published on July 27, 2013, is set in a dystopian world where magic exists, and humans known as the “gifted” possess the ability to use it. The book follows the journey of Emily, a young girl who discovers her magical powers and is thrown into a world filled with politics, conspiracies, and danger.
She must navigate her way through the complex web of deception and find a way to unite the gifted and humans before it’s too late. Mead’s writing style is exquisite, and she captures the essence of the sci-fi and fantasy genre with precision.
Her characters are well-crafted, and their unique personalities and struggles make them relatable and believable. Emily is a fierce and determined heroine, and her journey is captivating from beginning to end.
The plot is well-paced, full of intriguing twists and turns, and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The themes of power, fear, survival, and trust are expertly woven into the narrative and add depth to the story.
Mead’s world-building is exceptional in The Meeting, and she paints a detailed picture of a complex society that is both fascinating and terrifying. One thing that sets The Meeting apart from other sci-fi and fantasy books is its subtle social commentary.
Mead tackles relevant issues such as discrimination, inequality, and the abuse of power, and intertwines them seamlessly into the story. This aspect of the book makes it thought-provoking and relevant, even in today’s society.
Overall, The Meeting is a remarkable book that I highly recommend to anyone who loves the sci-fi and fantasy genre. It’s a thrilling ride that will leave you wanting more, and the writing and characters are sure to stay with you long after you finish reading.
