First Impressions of The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

One of my new year’s resolutions is to read a novel a week. That might not sound like much, but I tend to have huge lulls in between books, so it’ll be a nice challenge for me to maintain momentum in my reading. I also want to share my thoughts on the books I read, if only for the excuse to write more.
The first week of 2012 was intense, so I’ll start this week with The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff. It’s about a changeling who lives in the small town of Gentry who must travel to his birthplace of Mayhem, the underworld beneath Gentry, and must “find his rightful place, in our world–or theirs.”
I bought it because I’ll buy any book about fairies, even if it isn’t blatantly about them. Good Amazon reviews helped too. It’s also different from the usual YA novel I read in that the protagonist is male. It’s a fresh change after novels where the protagonist is a teenage girl who’s unique in the same way as every teenage girl who’s a main character.
I’ll write an actual review by next Monday, if not this Sunday.
