Adapt (A Touch of Power) Paperback – March 28, 2019

Getting book 3.I know that there are moments with the main character where I feel that she can be a bit dense as well as overbearing, with that said, this book is still full of life as well as some pretty nice world building. With that said, the world building parts are being drip fed. I can EASILY see this being a series as long as the wheel of time. There are a lot of people in this book that are easily something that can have a book branched off them at any time. You don't quite get to know everything, but you get the sense that there's a lot that's NOT being said despite the abundance of information you have already received. The other thing I like about this book is the fact that the MC is OP as hell, but at the same time not. It's akin to having the worlds fastest car, but not knowing exactly how to drive stick. We all can do the "if I had X ability I would do Y" competition, but the fact of the matter is that despite all of that, if you don't have a lifetime of experience in using something, no matter how OP you might be, someone with skill can always cut you down, and this book does a really good example of reminding the reader as well as the MC of that. I also love the fact that we're still seeing the main character grow. There's a LOT she doesn't know how to do due to her previous life of being bedridden her whole life. She's learning how to live for the first time in 19 years and she's also learning on how to deal with emotions and situations that we would consider everyday events, but it's all new to her. It's like watching a blind man see something for the first time.With that said, if you did not like the first book, this one isn't going to make you happy either. It pretty much expands upon things from the first one and fine tunes others. I will be getting the 3rd one as soon as it drops.

This is one of those stories that expand upon the first book quite well and you find yourself simply wanting more. Like the first book you only Traverse a few days in this book but so much goes on and so many characters are introduced it's like a whirlwind excellent writing and fiction. Normally I like to see a story proceed on a weekly monthly basis but to literally have things slow down and read what the character does day by day Moment by moment and see how they grow it's refreshing. Even better a rider does an excellent job setting the scene and has a great main character. You will be wanting more once you get to the end of this book I'm hoping the sequel comes soon.Like I said it's just a taste of how good this series will be you will find yourself wolfing down this book like the main character devours food.

I absolutely ADORE her contracted fellacai butterflies. They are precious! I routinely find myself wishing I could have literal live butterflies decorating my hair. I'm excited to learn how far they will advance intellectually, as well in attack parameters. I think they go unbelievably well with her whole sun-absorbtion shtick near the end of this book.Again with mentioning the Dark Ones influence only at the end of the book?! It's not terribly shocking for the mesmer to be more of a grunt, than the mind behind their adaptive attacks against the human population. The mere scope of this operation when taken in context with a Dark One, the literal centuries old source of all evil leaders, actually representing the torment this group of mind-bending monsters has come to inflict--- routinely capturing their best and brightest mages. Jade was theorizing the devastation this has on society, how significant the amount of mages within the upper echelons of intelligence is, and therefore constraining new advancement over the years... It sounds more credible with a true evil mastermind behind this.It's become a constant wonder for me, whether Jade will develop a solid live interest within this series. She may follow the same base outline of similar tropes, with male leads, and focus solely on advancing herself and the civilization of this new world foremost.While I enjoy the day to day minutia of her first week within this invigorating distant reality, there are many aspects of the plot and Jade's progression as a whole that felt necessary to be more fleshed out within this timeframe.. Maybe not by normal human standards, alas Jade is anything but normal. I'm excited to see how her future store shapes up, how she twists Earth's inventions to be compatible with magic and the materials available.Melody is creepy. There I said it. I think she's going to go full stalker and try to take over Jade's life because she's so devastatingly envious of her circumstances? *full body shudder*There was some truly intriguing conjecture over mental fortitude and moral dilemma that Jade has to shuffle through when readjusting to her reborn status all this entailed. Enjoyable in the fascinating thought paths that one could fall into, trying to ferret personal preferences on some subjects that have such difficulty swaying between the black and white side of the morality spectrum.

I am really enjoying this series so far. This one has a bit more conflict than the first but still plenty of fun slice of life goodness.I am invested in the story and the characters. Can’t wait to read the next one

I just finished reading Adapt, and it was so incredibly good. It kept me turning the pages as I wanted to find out what Jade would think of next to do in her new world. I enjoyed the relationships with her friends (and the butterflies she felt when a certain someone smiled at her). And I especially loved how she changed the words to so many songs to apply them to whatever she happened to be doing (or was going on around her) at the moment. They made me smile every time. I'm looking forward to the next book to read about her mesmer hunt, and am very grateful it's already written, so I don't have to wait!
