Jane, Unlimited by
Kristin Cashore is a genre blend done really well.
Before Jane’s aunt Magnolia left for her last photography
trip, she made Jane promise that if Jane was ever invited to Tu Reviens, the mansion
and island off Long Island owned by the Thrash family, she would accept.
When Jane sees her old tutor, Kiran Thrash, and Kiran
invites Jane to the house for the seasonal gala, Jane accepts. Since her aunt’s
death she has no reason to stay in the city.
What follows is a wonderfully written multiverse. At one
point, Jane has the option to choose between five choices. Readers follow each
choice to its outcome before going back to that same decision where Jane chooses
a different road. Each story varies greatly and include a mystery, espionage,
science fiction, fantasy, and a horror. With each option readers learn more
about Jane and the person her choice allows her to become.
This is a great book. If you are a fan of the story, you
must read it!
