So i literally JUST finished The Seven Rays by Jessica Bendinger like 10 minutes ago. And i had really high expectations for this book. the idea is so so so cool and original and unique. A girl starts seeing things, recieving mysterious gold envelopes with strange messages and Tarot cards. and the whole premise is from one of the cards "You are moe than you think you are". Beth Michael's is kind of a weird character i think but it relates to the story so it works. and everything does happen for a reason in this book which i like. but like i said i had really high hopes for this book and the first half was cool but then it got really weird. And i feel like the second half should have been longer. Events happen that are important and they just happen so fast and that was a little annoying. And I dont know if it is because i kind of lost interest in the book or that it just wasnt explained well is that i dont know what the seven rays are. in a way you find out but not to the extent i would have liked. And the end was kind of opened ended so i went on the website to see if there will be a sequel and there will be but i dont know when it will be out and I don't know if i will read it. I do like the love interest in this book though, Richie, kind of cliche though i think. I'd give it a 3 star.
On a funny note on the seven rays website there is a review from Randy Jackson? weird right? well there it is...
"The Seven Rays is an unforgettable book, a fascinating joyride for any reader. And so funny! THE SEVEN RAYS is the bomb!”
– Randy Jackson, American Idol Judge and creator of America’s Best Dance Crew
It was a little funny but not to the point where i really laughed out loud.
