The ending was a nice surprise, and I really can't wait to read book two. It is a necessary evil of YA, but I prefer it when the focus is not so much on school. That "high school feeling" was the only thing I didn't love about The Rules. It kept the book from feeling too young-because much of the story was set in high school, with typical high school drama. I love that! I found the characters to be quite complex, more so than in other YA reads, and I really enjoyed that.
I love getting to really know both main characters, and alternating POVs really get the reader inside the characters' heads. One of my favorite styles of writing is when authors use an alternating POV. I loved Ariane's history and thought that Kade did a very thorough job with Ariane's back-story. The world-building was interspersed with the story, which I love because there are no slow patches to the book. Things moved along fast enough to keep me flipping the pages excitedly, but not so fast that the plot felt rushed. Speaking of pace, Kade's pacing in The Rules was perfect.
I don't read too much about extraterrestrials and I really enjoyed the change of pace. I loved the fact that while Ariane is paranormal, she's a different kind of paranormal. The plot was unique and very well-executed. There are just some books that stand out and this was one of them. I thought to myself that some authors just "have it," meaning their talent seems to come naturally and easily. I closed the cover to The Rules thinking, this book has everything it needed to have plus more. What I didn't know was how much I would love The Rules. Having read The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade, I already knew that I loved her writing.
