![]() A few changes could have made this an engaging read with a strong role model, but sadly we are left with an interesting concept used with a lazy story. ![]() In the end, the entire book feels like someone being given every opportunity simply because they didn't have it in the past, despite not earning anything. I wish that the heroine could have surpassed challenges in a way that was truly visible to us, and proved that she was worth everything that she was given. I listened to the entire book hoping that after so much build-up we would eventually see some incredible challenge that the heroine would have to face, but in the end this was just a young girl's powere fantasy. I can only think of one character who was rude to her, and they were "put in their place" within minutes. ![]() Not once did she face any true challenge that wasn't either dismissed or handled by someone else, and through the entire story every person that she met was kind, immediately loved her, and gave her more than she asked for. The main character is the definition of a Mary Sue after a very limited amount of effort, and after such is treated like a Disney Princess through the entire book. Rather, seeing the goal of having a strong female protagonist facing adversity and earning a new life that it had in mind completely missing the mark is sadly disappointing. ![]() Siphon is an interesting book, but not because of its story. ![]()
