Description During Books Ink (Paper Gods #1)
On the heels of a family tragedy, the last thing Katie Greene wants to do is move halfway across the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lost. Alone. She doesn’t know the language, she can barely hold a pair of chopsticks, and she can’t seem to get the hang of taking her shoes off whenever she enters a building.Then there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school’s kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn’t prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start moving, there’s no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.
Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.

This book broke my heart. Not in the way you might think, though.I've become very familiar with a certain concept that much of YA has been using lately. The same concept that I discussed in my review of Reboot by Amy Tintera. It's when a book takes a gimmicka brilliant concept, an intriguing setting, etcand still follows the basic YA formula, riddled with cliches like:- Outcast, ordinary heroine (who might actually not be ordinary at all and have something to do with the supernatural aspect,I am not going to lie, Ink may as well be the one of the best debut titles of 2013, if not the very best. It has everything, EVERYTHING I didn't know I was looking for so badly. Mixing the old with the new, Ink gives us the dangerous heart stopping tale we always crave in a completely new setting that involves paper gods, kendo clubs, and sizzling Japanese style romance.Katie lost her mother, and soon after her homeland. With her grandfather battling cancer Katie has no choice but to move in
Pre-read:The cover on this is so beautiful, and I love the premise. I'm looking forward to reading it when it comes out.Post-read: Review to come. This is one of those times when I think I deviate quite a bit from the majority of opinions on this book, and hopefully I can explain that in more detail in my full review. I thought it was decent and well-researched. The novel held my attention throughout, but there were parts of the story that grated on me. I'm definitely willing to see where this
I can't believe I have it in me to hate a fictional character's actions this much.I know a lot of people are super excited about this book.I'm here to help you with that problem.Ok, so you're a white girl in Asia. Your mom has died, you're living with your hip aunt who teaches English in a medium/small Japanese city. You're making a few friends, sloshing your way through homework when BAMB! Your obligatory love interest suddenly enters the picture. Will he be cool? Will he be funny? How do you
The dragon snapped his paper jaws over and over, just out of reach, while the jagged gash vanished under a torrent of blood, overflowing onto the paper and the ground. To be honest, I don`t understand why this book has such a low rating. Imho, it deserves better. Yes, it has flaws, but to compare it with Twilight? It`s too much. Amanda Sun plunges us into Japanise atmosphere, where the drawings literally come to life, and the offsprings of the ancient gods plan to conquer the world. Personally,
An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review. This did not alter my thoughts in any way.Disclaimer: This can be very rant-y. And maybe a little spoiler-y.Like a lot of people out there, I love Japanese culture. I've read a LOT of mangas, edited and translated a few, have my own scanlation group, watched a lot of JDramas, sang so many of their songs, watched animes (ONE PIECE FTW FOLKS), etc. etc. I mean, I'm far from being the ultimate otaku, but there was a point in my life that I
