This week's post is all about plot twists. If you could make a plot twist to your book, what would it be?
I just finished reading Perchance to Dream, which is the sequel to Eyes Like Stars.
The books center around Beatrice Shakespeare Smith (Bertie), a seventeen year old girl who lives at the Theatre Illuminata.
Through a roller coaster of events, Bertie attempts to find out who her parents are, and also deals with the troubling issue of two boys, both of which are vying for her attention.
One of them, Nate, is a pirate from The Little Mermaid and is always there for her, while the other, Ariel, is a romantic air spirit from The Tempest. Nate is kidnapped by a sea goddess in the first book, after which Bertie leaves to rescue him. By the end of Perchance to Dream, Bertie does succeed in rescuing him, but not without difficulty. The sea goddess tries to make her choose between Ariel and Nate (she must choose the one she loves most to escape and leave the other behind), but it is revealed that Bertie loves both boys equally. Because the book was already full of plot twists to begin with, it was hard to find a good one, but i think the best one would be if Bertie had indeed picked one boy over the other. I wonder if she would have eventually regretted it if it had happened, and how it would affect her quest to reunite her parents.
I guess I'll just have to wait until the last book to find out what happens for sure. (Library, I need you to come through for me here!)
