But I wasn’t left disappointed in any way. Not to mention it was in first person, unlike the third person perspective she usually writes in. After all, there are no superheroes here, or queens of the moon. I wondered going into this novel how Meyer’s writing style would differ from that of her previous novels. Not only was the world vivid, but the book was written in one of the most accessible styles I’ve come across. After spending only a couple scenes in her marine biology class I could see where the white board was and navigate my way through the maze of desks opposite it. From Prudence’s favorite restaurant, Encanto, along the boardwalk to the record store her parents own, I felt like I was walking on the sand with her. Alas, it was only a vivid creation of a beach side town. Despite being set in the real world, her world building skills from years of fantasy left me Google searching Fortuna Beach to see if it was real. There was a lot of good in this book, especially for a first dabble into the contemporary genre.
The longer she spends with this new power and Quint, the more she learns about him, herself, and the fine line between virtue and vanity. When granted that power, however, the rush of excitement only lasts so long as she finds that Quint Erikson, her lazy, arrogant lab partner appears immune. She dreams of being able to cast instant karma on the lazy residents of Fortuna Beach. Instant Karma is about high school sophomore Prudence Barnett, who is as intense an overachiever as you can imagine, and quick to judge. After years of writing science fiction and fantasy – her first sci-fantasy novel Cinder came out in 2012 – she’s decided to take a trip outside of her comfort zone. On the third of November 2020, Marissa Meyer released her first attempt at the contemporary romance genre.
