There could be a sequel... and I hope there is! I think the summary suggested at a romance because that's just what's popular these days in YA.<br /><br />Gina: Ooh, The Unwanteds sounds awesome! It definitely sounds like my kind of read! "Bromance" is a term that describes the love and affection shared by two straight males.

That's not to say that I don't enjoy my series and trilogies, because I do, I love them. But it's a nice change.<br /><br />Alison: I haven't read too many books with a Bromance either.

The actual story is much more interesting than that! Though I hope you can still like it without a romance.<br /><br />Alex: It was so nice and refreshing to see a good, if totally unexpected male friendship. I'm not sure how the cover and synopsis could be so off. I guess they probably know what they're doing to sell books, much more than I do.<br /><br />Lauren: I love high fantasy too, though surprisingly I'm not too well versed in it to be honest. I read much more urban fantasy, perhaps because there is a higher prevalence of that in books today.
