Review: Unravel

Unravel by Amelia Loken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Marguerite has had many obstacles growing up.  Even though she is next in line for the throne (after her father) her uncle thinks a deaf person should not rule; he even broke her hand to keep her from signing.  Her uncle also fights against everything magical and since Marguerite is a witch, she must keep that hidden from him as well. After seeing her first witch trial, Marguerite runs away with a rescued child and her uncle takes his chance to seize the throne.  What will he do to keep Marguerite from the throne?  What obstacles will she need to overcome while fighting back?

Unravel is a stand-alone supernatural novel that was an amazing read with interesting characters.  Loken’s freshman novel broke the mold with a strong female protagonist that did not let her deficits become a disability.  This book had action and adventure with the reader discovering hidden truths around every turn.  One of my tells of a good book is thinking about it when I’m not reading it and that is what Unravel did for me.  Unravel is a great read that will have readers thinking differently about those who we call disabled.
