ⓘ About Marianne Mancusi
Alternity is the perfect definition of a well-written sci-fi story. Stuck between the mystic and mundane, the protagonist has to find herself and rush against time to save her people. The events that quickly unfold after her nightmares also have Skye questioning her heart and reality. This is a quick read that will capture your attention in the first few pages. Since the author keeping on going from one reality to another, this at first doesn’t feel like a dystopian story. Mancusi’s writing is phenomenal, and it is amazing how she keeps everything in this story fresh and interesting all the way to the end. Aside from the magic in Kat’s new world, there is an evil prince on her case not to mention that mistaken identity situation.
