sebenernya buku ini bukan selera gw, tapi karna uda ada di hp, somehow gw harus namatin secara di delete jd ada yg ngeganjel...Sinopsis:Cyrus menemukan semacam ramuan yang bisa membuat mereka abadi dengan berpindah-pindah tubuh. Sera dan Cyrus sudah hidup selama enam abad. Tapi Cyrus yang dulunya polos berubah menjadi kejam dan posesif banget sampai tidak mengizinkan incarnate (sebutan untuk mereka) untuk punya kehidupan lain. Pokoknya mereka harus tetep sama Cyrus yang mengendalikan semuanya. Sampai suatu ketika Sera sudah tidak kuat lagi dan dia melarikan diri, tapi malah melihat kecelakaan dan awalnya pengen bantuin malah dia pindah ke tubuh remaja yang kecelakaan itu yang bernama Kailey. Ternyata Kailey ini abg 16 tahunan yang punya kakak cowok dan ortu yang normal dan baik. Belum lagi ada tetangganya cowok yang bernama Noah yang ternyata suka sama Kailey.Sera yang belum pernah berada di tubuh remaja ternyata menikmati kehidupan barunya, dan dengan polosnya menganggap kalau Cyrus gak bakal nemuin dia. Tapi ketika semua berjalan lancar, tiba2 Cyrus muncul di skulnya menjadi guru IPA.Review:Sera yang 'seharusnya' berusia enam abad di sini malah kayak abg bgt, bener2 menghayati perannya jadi Kailey, jadi gak brasa kalau dia itu Incarnate. Trus pas liat Cyrus uda ketakutan duluan, yahhh meskipun dikekang sama Cyrus, tapi ya kalo uda usia 6 abad ya paling gak wise lah gak grasak grusuk gt. Sebenernya pengen banget baca lanjutannya, tapi kayaknya gak sanggup, tapi liat review2an, yg kedua lumayan bagus... SPOILERS. Horrible writing style to be honest. The author had a good thing going on with the plot but ruined it completely with the characters. I felt no chemistry between Noah and Sera , and the way they fell in love felt like the whole R&J ordeal. Noah's in love with Kailey , not Sera and FOR GOODNESS' SAKE .. SERA ONLY MET HIM 3 WEEKS AGO. There was no character development, the pace was far too fast, and I felt like the main character was only deluding herself into thinking that it was HER life she was living when in fact, it is not. It pisses me off to no end. Frankly, this book felt like a very badly re-written story of "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer (I FEEL SICK COMPARING THE TWO SINCE I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THE HOST) I might be overly harsh but really, I truly regret having read this book and it sucks that I'm quitting the series because I feel like if I start something , I should end it. I've never NOT finished a series before, but I just don't feel any motivation to read the sequel.1/5 ( just because I liked the plot twist at the end with Cyrus playing the word, "alchemy" )
What do You think about The Alchemy Of Forever (2012)?
Very good! It is a good book for young adults, and I got hooked into the book very easily!
