Let's be honest... I borrowed this book from Netgalley before I actually started reviewing books. (Think 2013 at 18 years old.) I'm now 30 and much more serious about my book reviews so I apologize for never formally reviewing this book.

I have been going though my Netgalley to clean up older books I somehow didn't get to. I used to be really big into young adult books even in my late 20s but my reading preferences have evolved so this one isn't for me now.

Good book! I loved the fantasy style story. I love King Author stories, so twists on it make me feel really motivate to read. This was no exception. I really liked the way they incorporated the nemesis into the book.

I requested this several years ago and I don't think it's a book for me anymore. So I will not be reviewing at this time, but if I do read it, I will update this review. Thank you for the opportunity.

Intangible should be a story that I loved. Arthurian legends usually mean a hit. Perhaps I should have paid closer attention to the synopsis as there were elements of this that didn't;t interest me at all and it felt like large chunks of the book involved me reading details that I felt I'd already been told or were just passing time. This might be one to try and reread and see what I've missed as there are so many glowing reviews. Alternatively, I may just have to admit it wasn't for me.

Peter is raised on the King Arthur legend, told to him by his father, kind of an absent professor type, as a 100% true story, which he believed until he was 7 years old, and then he stopped listening and believing. Imagine his surprise when he finally realizes that his father was telling him the truth all along, and that he has a destiny that needs to be fulfilled to save the world, in essence.

I enjoyed this book, although I found some of the writing a bit stiff. The story itself was very engaging, though, and the characters were well developed. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to find out where it takes the story.

4/5 stars.

Peter was raised on Arthurian ledge do told to him by his quantum physicist father. He grew up only believing in science and nothing magical. Then there is lily who sees these creatures that control people. Lily and Peter meet and learn so much about the word and are thrown into danger that could end the world.

I did not have a chance to read this book, but it is effecting my feedback rating. I am giving books 5 stars that I haven't read to improve my feedback rating. I am not recommending the book for my classroom or students since I have not read the book. There needs to be a better system of leaving feedback for books not read.

I love Arthurian legends so picking this up was a must. It's an interesting read with a nice twist on the legends which I enjoyed.

This is quite possibly one of my favorite books, and stories. It doesn't always work when the story starts at a midpoint, then reverse to the beginning - but it did work well with this, it dragged me in from the beginning. The story progressed quite well, and the characters were (mostly) well developed.

The only issue I had with this story was with Lily, the friend to Peter (main character) - she was mostly annoying and poorly written personality, she was always crying at the drop of anything and then sassy a second later, or vice versa. She could have been better written, without the stereotype of a (overly) hormonal teenager - which just wasn't believable, or true and I have been a female teenager!

The plot was new and refreshing, mostly believable. I absolutely loved this story, and can not wait to read the rest of the series.

I wanted to like this book. I actually really tried to like this book. Especially because I wanted C.A. Gray to rep my hometown of Tucson, AZ. For me, this was one of those books that sounded good in theory, but was really poorly executed.

So here’s my mini story about how I came across this book: I picked this book up (figuratively) because it was a NetGalley ARC that had gotten really good reviews on Goodreads. The back of the book blurb intrigued me. From what I gathered, this book would be an action/adventure/fantasy novel, which would weave in bits of Arthurian Legend. Other reviewers who gave the book good reviews said they weren’t interested in Arthur Legends until they read this book. So I was like: PERFECT. Because I actually love the legends of King Arthur, Camelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. But this book did NOT live up to the hype I created for it.

I was super disappointed because the high fantasy genre has been letting me down a lot these days. And now, after reading this book, I’m fed up with it.

I don’t even know where to begin with my review. I don’t want to rip this book apart, but at the same time I really did not enjoy reading this book. I mean, I can crank out books, fast. Like, I can read a book every 2 or 3 days. But this book? It took me 3 WEEKS. That’s the longest I’ve spent reading a book in probably…like, 8 months. Seriously. That’s how…umm, I want to say “boring” but instead I’ll say “not gripping” this book was.

I can’t honestly say it was “boring” because a lot did happen… Gray just didn’t make me excited about what was happening. She didn’t make me care about her storyline, or her characters, or the fate of Carlion/Avalon/etc.

A lot of people liked this book because they liked the way that fantasy and science were imbedded together. But I thought the science was pushed way way too hard in this book. And, Disclaimer: I love science. It’s my jam, my bread and butter, and all that jazz… But seriously, I started to get annoyed with Peter trying to explain everything as science. I was like: Yo, homeboy, listen up: You are in a freaking fantasy novel, let loose and enjoy the ride.

Seriously. Holy hell. That kid was so annoying with all of his theories. I was like: Man, just STFU. UGH.

Which sort of is the best lead-in I’ll ever get to talk about my least favorite character ever, Peter. (ATTN: SARCASM) I just love the premise: Peter is a 14 year old kid who has a knack for quantum physics?! LOLZ . OH YEAH, I’M SURE. SOUNDS REAL PLAUSIBLE DUDE. Basically, I just didn’t like him. Which is probably half the reason why I didn’t care about this book.

This book was pretty hard to get into and it took forever for things to start happening. Also, for one of the first times in my life, I was reading this book and I was like: WOW. I am too old for this. I can’t even describe it. The dialogue was juvenile, the characters were annoying, and the general plot and interactions between characters seemed petty.

My only weird comparison is that this book sorta had a Harry Potter-like feel to it. (mostly because of the whole “three amigos” thing and having a “chosen one”…) But, I mean, I’ve reread the entire Harry Potter series past the age of 18 and still really enjoyed it. But this book? I was like one of those kindergarteners that hates story time and just wants to play on the jungle gym. I was like: NOOOOO, I DON’T WANT TO READ THIS BOOK.
