Teaser Tuesday: Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
To play along just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I thought finding a story would be like bird-watching in the Vale woods, waiting for bright eyes and a burst of wings. I thought it would be like finding gold.
It wasn’t like that at all.

“I’ve looked at the Crying Pools,” Holly told her, staring at the ground. “I won’t be useful.”
— Chapter 9

I’m still coming to terms with the cover design ... I seriously loved the original cover of Unspoken but I don’t get to decide. That and the whole don’t judge a book by its cover thing. Which I wouldn’t do in this case anyway because of the author printed on said cover, so it probably could have been plain cardboard. I have missed Kami's voice. I think she is one of the most distinctive narrators and focal characters who are out and about in YA at the moment. Starting this book so far has felt like picking up a phone call with a friend that got violently interrupted (aka end of book one) about a year ago. I still have THE FEAR, because I suspect several things that will make this a deliciously torturous read. I also broke my rule of not reading this when I have to work the next day... but I have the great advantage that my colleagues understand when I explain the slightly worse for wear appearance with “Great book, sleep is overrated, too many feels.”
