Oh boy, this one was quite an experience! In The White Pavilion, we follow Imre, who is dancer in Tierra Mejor and what happens after she fails to complete a traditional dance and a series of events transpire after that. I’m going to start by saying I absolutely loved the world, I mean it was very steampunk and I absolutely loooove anything steampunk, but it gets even better, while the world is all technological, I mean they basically live in a planet that was created when the world was coming to an end (seriously, so awesome), it’s not super high-tech, hence the steampunk vibe and there’s actually a pretty strong religious belief in their planet(?), let’s call it a planet, and it’s interesting how that clashes and is combined at the same time, with the technology of where they live. I will admit that while the main plot and the world had me absolutely hooked, I found the pacing to be a little more on the slow side and I felt like sometimes some events were not really adding much to the story and the narrative was also quite interesting, even if it made me a little confused at first, but it’s told from the first person, except that it’s told like from the future, so the narrator knows what happens and so every once in a while we see other people which gave a little extra to the story. I did like how Imre had more than one love through the book (and she’s even bi-sexual I want to say, which was pretty cool), which was different from most books I read where there’s just one love interest, speaking of LIs, I just wish the main one had been a little more developed, I don’t know it just felt like it came out of nowhere, even if it says it didn’t, but I wish I had seen it a little better, but there’s another book and hopefully we’ll get to see more of them there. I’m definitely very curious to know where this series takes us next and am already looking forward to the next book.
