Review Detail

In Rachel Hawkins book, Hex Hall, we
meet Sophia Mercer.  Sophie is a teenage witch, who lives with her
human mother and is just trying to be a normal high school student. 
When a love spell goes awry, Sophie is sent to Hecate Hall, a school
for misfit Prodigium. Surrounded by witches, faeries, shapeshifters,
and her new vampire best friend, Sophie still finds herself just not
fitting in.  When something starts attacking students and her best
friend is suspect, Sophie must solve these mysteries and rise up to
meet her destiny.  With an absent Warlock father, and family secrets
that Sophie doesn't even know, Sophie finds herself in a heap of
trouble and struggling to find her way out.

I enjoyed reading this story.  I
wasn't in awe, but it was a decent book.  I wasn't completely drawn
into the story, but it was a light and easy read.  I don't feel like
there was enough character development in this book and I was left
wondering a lot about characters.  I'm ok with a mysterious character
here and there, but not when all the characters have an air of mystery
about them.  There was a lot of things that characters did, that were
never explained.  I also never felt sucked in.  There wasn't a lot of
aw moments that you usually find in this sort of book and I didn't
really feel like any of the characters were someone a young adult
audience could relate to.  I feel plot wise, there was some good
moments, but everything just happened so quickly and the journey to big
moments wasn't there.  I enjoyed this book, but I feel there could have
been more to it.  I hope there is some character development in the
next book and that we get to understand Sophie's world a bit better.
