Delve Into Fury (The Fury Trilogy, #1) Envisioned By Elizabeth Miles Compiled As Bound Copy

ALERT

After reading three hundred pages of agony inducing melodrama, I found myself repeatedly asking, “But why” Three hundred pages of a mundane story should have provided sufficient, satisfying answers for my question and then some, but it seems as though the author was preoccupied with the promise of a trilogy.
Regardless of my theorising, the fact of the matter remains that there were some overarching questions left unanswered which is really quite unacceptable, and thus led me to my conviction that Elizabeth Miles desperately needs to rewrite her novel, Fury.


Whilst the initial premise of this book was interesting mythology meets the modern teen world Fury ultimately read like a sketchy first draft begging for a decent editor.
The Furies, whose presence was required to punish the transgressions of fickle teenagers, was underwhelming as a result of going vastly unexplored.
There was no tangible substantiation as to why exactly the Furies were hunting down these pseudosinning boys and girls and meting out unbefitting punishments for

the crimes that had been committed.
Emily almost had sex with her best friends boyfriend yes, truly a tragedy, but how is this case of almost adultery a crime that requires death as punishment A better question: why were the Furies really even targeting Emily “Because cheating is bad” is hardly a satisfactory answer.
If that were really the reason behind pursuing Emily, then logically it should follow that the Furies target Zach for committing the same “crime”, and yet he escapes unscathed.
Furthermore, surely there are better times to occupy the wrath of the Furies None of these staggeringly important questions central to the plot are actually answered properly.
As a consequence, the element of believability which is a necessity for any work of fiction, ceases to exist in Fury, thereby diminishing the storys overall value.


Show, dont tell, Unfortunately for the overall quality of Fury, Elizabeth Miles failed to utilise this in her story, The actual storytelling aspect is clunky and awkward, Instead of being mellifluously woven into the prose, the plots focus points are presented as bland statements and details that perhaps would have fared better in the hands of a master.
My perception of the relationship between JD and Emily was at best, a manipulative friendship Emily uses JD as a chauffeur to popular parties, and JD uses Emily to feel validated.
I never did expect a romantic tension to blossom, simply because those seeds werent sewn, Sharing silly French phrases and a string between windows is not a precursor to falling in love, The statement, “Em was in love with JD”, almost has a paranoid feel to it, as though the author isnt sure whether this is obvious to the audience so she writes it explicitly, just in case.
This does not work in Miles favour the ignorance toward showing the audience something implicitly only goes to show how inexpert the writing is, and further decreases the quality of Fury.


Elizabeth Miles writes herself into a corner when it concerns the Furies the story cant progress if there is no force or character to challenge their presence, and what is the likelihood of the protagonist being able to come to the conclusion that the presence haunting her must of course be a mythological creation How to solve this Meet Drea Feiffer, also known as Furys deus ex machina.
As Emily crashes her car under mysterious, magical circumstances and almost dies, the only person in all of Ascension, Maine, who just happens to have intimate knowledge concerning the Furies just happens to stop by and happens to save Emily.
She just happens to know all about fixing cars, and therefore happens to be able to deduce what is happening.
She just happens to know exactly what happened of Chase concerning his unfortunate encounter with the Furies, She just happens to have large tomes on the mythology of the Furies, and happens to be dedicated to the research.
Thanks to Drea Feiffer, Emily is now fully aware of what is happening to her, and better equipped to save herself from a premature death doesnt that work out just fabulously

It is for these reasons and more that I found Fury to be virtually intolerable as a work of fiction.
Fury is a paperwasting, cheap foray into the world of YA fiction, and I can only hope that Miles future works significantly improve after this lowerthansubpar effort.

Emily ist einjähriges HighschoolMädchen aus Maine, Ihr Leben verläuft relativ normal, doch dann verliebt sie sich in Zach, Das ist ein Problem, denn Zach ist der Freund ihrer besten Freundin Gabby, Dann ist da noch Chase, Er hat sich auch verliebt in Ty, Niemand kennt das Mädchen, es ist plötzlich einfach aufgetaucht, Doch irgendetwas ist seltsam an ihr, Und dann gerät alles irgendwie außer Kontrolle, . .

Meine Meinung
Mir hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen! Es lässt sich sehr leicht und flüssig lesen dank des angenehmen, einem Jugendbuch angepassten Schreibstils.
Die Figuren kommen mir authentisch vor,
Zwar gibt es für die Mädchen scheinbar nur die Themen Jungs, Klamotten und Partys, aber es wirkt auf mich durchaus echt.
Auch kann ich die Handlungen nachvollziehen, Ich fand es manchmal recht unheimlich und gruselig, und gelangweilt habe ich mich beim Lesen des Buches auf keiner Seite.

Einzig eine Szene am Ende des Buches kam mir ein wenig unlogisch vor, Es geht um die Szene in der Baugrube, Mehr möchte ich hier dazu lieber nicht verraten für diejenigen, die das Buch selbst noch lesen möchten.

Insgesamt hat mich die Geschichte auf jeden Fall sehr gut unterhalten, und ich freue mich nun schon sehr auf den zweiten Teil! Im pretty sure that the Furies not to be confused with furries, gross, mythical womenspirits who enact karmic justice, are near the top of my list of things that are bad ass.
I read Fury by Elizabeth Miles as a horror story subsequently I enjoyed this debut novel VERY much,

I was a little unsure what to expect as I picked this book up and although it was a bit slow to start, I ended up loving it! I'm always a fan of anything based on any sort of mythology and this was definitely in that vein.
I loved the idea of the Furies even though I was a little confused at first, Once I finally grasped the concept, I fell totally in love with it and this book, My only complaint about this book really is that Emily did grate on my nerves a bit, But with the twist at the end that I totally did not expect, I'm excited to see how her character develops and where the story goes! In this chilling start to a trilogy rife with revenge, two teens learn the hard way: Sometimes sorry isnt enough.


Its winter break in Ascension, Maine, The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful, But not all is as it seems, . .
     Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays, And this years even betterthe guy shes been into for months is finally noticing her, But Em knows if she starts things with him, theres no turning back, Because his girlfriend is Ems best friend,
     On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own, The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling, But thats nothing compared to whats really haunting him, Chase has done something cruel, . . something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do, And its only a matter of time before hes exposed,
     In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly, And three girlsthree beautiful, mysterious girlsare here to choose who will pay, Em and Chase have been chosen,
In the midst of reading a demanding yet awesome book for my book group I received an ARC of Fury by Elizabeth Miles.
It seemed the perfect book to read while wooing my other one, So yesterday on my day off I cracked it open and read almost the entirety of the book in one setting.
Yeah. It's the absolute right choice to have picked up to intersperse with another,

In Ascension Maine everyone is gearing up for the holiday, Em is sad that her best friend, Gabby, will be in Spain for Christmas, However, Gabby has tasked Em with the job of entertaining her boyfriend, Zach, while she is away, Em complies, partly out of loyalty, and majorly out of a selfish desire to see him, Even though she is her best friend's boyfriend Em has had feelings for him for some time feelings that she equally feels guilty and giddy about.


Elsewhere in town is the football captain, Chase, Chase wants everything to be perfect, Most of all he wants people to forget where he comes from a lowly trailer park, When he meets a beautiful girl named Ty he begins to do things out of his depth for her.
. . even though they don't fit into his great plan,

Fury is one big tease, but a good one, It's all sly smirks and feathers on skin and whispered secrets, It's a subtle yet bold book, I adored every bit of this, It's a very clever book that manages to keep the reader interested in the reveal even if it doesn't happen until the tail end of the book.
I loved this narrative. I appreciate any book that deals with cause and consequence, where characters have to own up to the sum of their actions.
I want to know where it's going, It's awesome. I loved it. I want more.

out ofstars, I can't wait for the next one!
