Ariana Franklin's Writing style

Ariana Franklin’s writing style is perhaps one of the best I have ever read. She is one of those talented authors who with the uncanny ability to compress tons of information and meaning into very few sentences and yet still be able to achieve the effect of conveying every single detail and even the simplest nuances of information. Not only that but her writing style, is easy to follow but not extremely simple as well. It’s like the feeling of floating down a brook. The current guides you along but sometimes you still need to propel yourself forward to get where you want to go. This is exactly what it felt like to read this novel of hers. At times, there were moments when the suspense kicks and the currents of information and words just flood you with details and meanings and yet it is so easy to decipher them all. However, there were parts where her style of writing becomes more complex and I needed to reread a couple of things here and there to get the complete picture. But it was worth it to be able to understand the beautiful world of Adelia’s in which Ariana Franklin weaves. Her plot flows through seamlessly and you can’t detect any loop holes at all. Its like gliding on silk, so soft and smooth and leaving you craving for another touch. Not only that, but Ariana Franklin has an amazing ability to create suspense even when you don’t realize. Nearly thee-fourths of the book was a built up to the climax and when it hits you, you suddenly get the moment of realization and go “Oh! I should have seen it coming!”. And yet you don’t. the plot is created in such a way that you know what’s going o happen but you really don’t because you keep on second guessing yourself and this in turns creates more suspense because you want to know whether or not you right in the beginning at all.

Overall, I’m absolutely in love with this book. The rich details are amazing. The plot is sewn together flawlessly. This has got to be one of the best novels, I have ever read!
