Pieces of Revenge had me hooked from the first shocking sentence till the very end, and I am dying to get my hands on the second book in the Titanium Series. If you are looking for a fast paced, clean and exciting adventure then look no further. This Young Adult book is the beginning of what looks to be an incredible series. I am excited to see where this story leads and what Valia has planned for the Tasia and the series.
The story is fast paced and doesn’t stop. From the opening sentence, we see Anastasia fighting off a stranger and running for her life. This scene sets the tone for this story. She is working to accomplish her one life goal, to bring revenge upon the people who brutally murdered her entire family. As she progresses in her plan, we meet the few people she trusts and are plunged into a world of drama and intrigue. Not everyone is who you think they are and the plot twists and turns until you are wondering who to trust and where she will go from here. The end is shocking and leaves you excited for what will happen next, ready for the second book immediately.
Anastasia, also known as Tasia, is a strong, independent, and focused young woman. She has been living her life in fast forward focused solely on revenge. Writing a young character into such a deep and conflicted role dealing with major adult issues could come across as unrealistic and forced, but not with Tasia and this story. We see a wonderful blending of the real with the fantastic. Tasia is brilliant and precise, a real warrior for her cause. While reading her story I kept imagining an old SciFi show called Dark Angel. The lead character in both stories has a strength, intelligence, and efficiency that you would never normally find in someone so young. She was a believable character that swings from sad and terrified girl to focused and strong task master. It was a genius blend and I appreciated the way she was portrayed!
The supporting cast of actors was strong yet not overpowering of this story. Pieces of Revenge focuses on Tasia’s quest and weaves others throughout her mission. The action was intense but never overwhelming. Her personality is strong but not overbearing. Each theme was perfectly intertwined with the bigger picture, allowing the reader exactly what they need when they need it. It fit well within the Young Adult genre and it a fantastic thriller to read. I am excited to see what happens in the next book in the Titanium Series. That ending was not something I was expecting and I am ready for more! Valia, I applaud your technique and I cannot wait to see what happens! Make sure to check this book out today!
