## Description

desertcart.com: Switched (A Trylle Novel, 1): 9781250006318: Hocking, Amanda: Books

Review: A Unique Novel, and a Must Read for an YA fan - Switched by Amanda Hocking is the first book in the Trylle Trilogy. I bought Switched for my Kindle, this summer before Amanda Hocking took it down to prepare for the re-release. I never got the chance to read it, until I received an ARC from St. Martins Publishing. The story is unique, not like anything I have read before, and because of that I loved this book. The story of Switched is really the story of Wendy Everly. The story starts off rather gloomy, because while six-year-old Wendy is a spoiled brat, her own mother rejects her. This progressed to the point where her mother refused to believe Wendy was her child, and proceed to try to kill her. It is nice to see a different type of supernatural creature make an appearance in Switched. What supernatural creature you ask, Trolls! I do not want to give too much away, but trust me you will be pleasantly surprise with the uniqueness of this book, and I am sure the series! I like how some of the words used in this world are Swedish/Scandinavian, because it is in Scandinavian folklore and mythology that Trolls make their appearance. It gives the story a bit of history, based in mythology. I really like Wendy; she is a strong lead, who continues to grow with the book. I just do not think this review is doing justice to how much I loved this book, and the characters! I just think any young adult fan should check out this book. I love where the story goes, and where it is heading. I have been a fan of Amanda Hocking for a while now, ever since I read Hollowland. I just have to say while this is about trolls, these are not your typical trolls, and that makes it even more fun. The best part is that you can tell that Amanda put a lot of thought and research into her story, finding Scandinavian words to use for terminology in the book. The research to me gives the book a more realistic quality, as realistic as book with supernatural/mythical creatures could be. I cannot wait until the release of the second book in the Trylle Trilogy, Torn. I have to say, if Torn and Ascend are just as good if not better than Switched, the Trylle Trilogy will have a place in my top series of all time. **Unabridged Bookshelf received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
Review: Not my typical reading, but enjoyable light reading! - Hocking has an uncanny ability to write fascinating little stories that are compellingly addicting. Her books are not my typical reading fare - I tend more toward the adult mysteries and suspense type of thing - however ever since I picked up Hocking's My Blood Approves series, I've been strangely addicted to her work. The Trylle series is no exception. Now, I may not fall in the typical readership for Hocking's books, but because I work as a Probation Officer for teenagers, I tend to read a lot of YA fiction to keep "in touch" with what my kids enjoy. Hocking's three-part Trylle series, of which Switched is number one, is about a girl who has a miserable existance. Her childhood is filled with little oddities that don't make much sense, and her mother, who refers to her as a "monster" goes so far as to try to stab her to death at her own birthday party. Switched is so much a coming of age tale - with a twist - as Wendy soon discovers that she has another life waiting for her discovery and that she is so much more than an angst filled teenager stuck in high school. I won't give away any more, as part of the joy of reading this book is discovering - right along with Wendy - just what in the heck is wrong with her and why she has all these odd little habits, abilities and thoughts. This is not a literary masterpiece for your college Women's Literature 101 class. It was not intended to be so. It is not filled with symbolism and fodder for critical discussion. It IS, however, fun, light reading that will keep your attention. It is a sweet story. Hocking has captured a believable and realistic teenage heroine. She's captured appropriate action, adventure, and even romantic tension. For those reviewers who say the teenage angst is overblown...I would disagree. I work with teenagers for a living and the internal and external dialogue is actually quite realistic for the age group. Perphaps not ALL teens think this way, but the ones I work with quite often do. Many teens - especially girls with abusive backgrounds and lack of a stable parent figure like Wendy - DO think and act this way, althought many of them would be hard pressed to publically admit it. I've given Switched four stars, not because it isn't excellent, but because I save my five star reviews for books that are out of this world wonderful or books that really speak to me emotionally. This one is excellent, but it is not the definition of perfect. There are a few typos, but they are easily overlooked. Overall, excellent book. Excellent and believable plot. An overall wonderfully creative and engaging book. Nice job, Amanda - I'm off to purchase #2 in the series and I am looking forward to discovering more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trylle=Troll
*by D***1 on August 6, 2010*

I have read the other series by Amanda Hocking & I like them, but this one was AMESOME. I haven't read any books with troll in them, but this book brings to life a whole different troll stereotype. I was hooked from the every beginning of the story & it was non stop from then on out. I very much like the main character Wendy, she was a typical teenager that had issues, never felt like she belong, ate weird & utterly loved to walk around bare footed. Wendy's character was very likable, new and rebellious!!! And those type of character can make a book go full force ahead, if I must say so myself. Well, to break down the story is quite simple, and here it goes. Wendy's mother (well the women that raised her the first 6 years of her life-minus the nannies) tried to kill her when she was seven. When Wendy's mother was pregnant, she was expected to have a little boy. So, when she had Wendy-the mother automatically knows that her child had been switched; or you could say it was mother instincts. As the story goes on, Wendy like I said before is rebellious and is thrown out of school and her family (which consist of her brother and aunt) have relocated once again. This is where the hero comes into play, Finn; and his character is the hot/weird guy at school. This new guy Finn finally tells Wendy what she is and that she is to start a new life somewhere else. Finn is what the troll people call a tracker, he is sent out to find the princess (which is Wendy, yea; princess of the trolls) and bring her back to her mother (the queen of the trolls). Finn however finds himself following in love with Wendy and vice verse. The journey is quite refreshing, but she soon finds out that her new life is not what she thought it would be and desperately wants to go back home (to her brother & aunt). With anymore spoilers, it is a very quite story with a new twist to the whole troll world. It is a must read, if you are looking for something different.
