By Natasha is a Book Junkie “We are a question that hasn’t been answered yet, a hiding place that hasn’t been found yet, a battle that hasn’t been fought yet.”Holy cow! What a spectacular book this was! Gripping and unexpected, this story literally took my breath away, and I not only found myself reading until dawn, but also incapable of moving on and picking up another book for days to come. Within an exhilarating scenario that is as unique as it is astounding, I never expected to find so many surprises, so many twists and turns at every corner, and I felt like I was on a joyride of a lifetime. But fear not because I will not spoil any of it for you, as each small discovery, each staggering revelation, each ‘sucker punch’ in the story has made this one of the most riveting, compelling, and truly unforgettable reads of my life. Not to mention, one of the most divinely written ones too.“This was a murder-turned-into-abduction. This was a screwed-up moment of weakness. This was a personal, targeted attack against my father.”There is no slow introduction into the storyline, no gradual easing into it for the reader—the story takes off ‘mid race’, as we find the heroine with a gun pointed at her head, abducted and facing death at the hands of a man she doesn’t know. Skye Sedgewick has lived a privileged life since birth, her only living parent showering her with love and attention, and never making her want for anything. And yet, at the mercy of her captor, powerless and facing imminent death, her mind draws comfort from recalling a time when she was just a child, when the sound of her nanny’s lullaby could erase all hurts, when her childhood best friend’s intrepid heart made her feel safe and protected, and when all it took to put a smile on her face was a pink-frosted cake and a paper giraffe. But even those happy memories do little to dissolve the utter gloom of her reality—held hostage on a boat by a man who shows her no compassion or empathy, whose mind games and bouts of cruelty slowly strip her of all hope and dignity, while they sail towards an unknown destination and an uncertain fate for Skye.“I felt like all the bits that held me together were slowly coming unglued, falling off, piece by piece. I was disappearing, disintegrating like the rocks that get eaten by the sea.”But as their journey continues, an unexpected attachment forms between captor and captive, and the more Skye’s childhood memories keep returning and offsetting her harsh reality, the more of the truth behind her abduction is revealed. Until the past and the present suddenly collide and our heroine and her captor, Damian, find themselves torn between what has been and all that their hearts tell them should be.“There are no good guys or bad guys. Everyone has a reason.”And that is when this story takes off on an unforeseen adventure of soul-searching, friendship, redemption and survival, an adventure where love is the ultimate prize and the past is the bitterest foe. As Skye and Damian succumb to their feelings, recognising a love that was written in the stars for them, they soon realise that that very love is the only thing holding vengeance back by a thread, a thread that can snap at any moment, and take it all away from them in one sweep.“… there is no space too dark or too vast or too irredeemable that can’t be filled with love.”There is so much more I could tell you about this story as I find myself here bursting to talk about it, but I have to remain vague so that you can discover and truly appreciate every facet of this beautiful tale the same way as I did—slowly and without warning. I will tell you, though, that no amount of imagination could have prepared me for any jaw-dropping moment of this passionate, thrilling, at times even gritty story of two people who have come full circle in life, only to find themselves torn between all they have gained and all they have lost.“You can either choose love or you can choose hate, because where one lives, the other will die.”I feel no amount of praise will ever do a book of this calibre justice. With its exquisite prose, almost poetic at times, the phenomenally framed characters, vulnerable and strong at the same time, the passionate, turbulent love story that pulls on every one of our heartstrings like a fine concerto, the richness of a storyline that is never predictable and consistently enthralling, this is a book I wish I could make everyone read. Because books like these are few and far between, and are nothing less than life-changing.“It’s not over, you know, it never has been … you will always be my forever.”[6 STARS]

The blurb alone is perfect, drawing you in without really revealing what you can expect from the pages within. Brilliant in it’s simplicity, as The Paper Swan is more than can be summed up by a few scant paragraphs on the back of a book.The Paper Swan really hits the ground running, dropping the reader right in the middle of the action, getting right to the “meat” of the story. Everything is perfectly laid out from there, the story developing in a unique and powerful way.This book is going to take you on a journey you could never really prepare for. This book is tense, dangerous, heartbreaking, a story of rage and vengeance. At the same time, The Paper Swan is full of hope, overwhelming love, and a simple kind of joy. Leylah Attar manages to make us feel all of that and more, giving us a truly multi-faceted story, layered with the past and the present, showing the reader the huge effects one small action can have. A story about creating a new life out of the ashes of your old one.With deep, explicit characterization, you can’t help but to love and/or loathe the cast of The Paper Swan. None of these people are who they seem at first, and watching them grow and develop, spilling secrets and sharing dreams, was a high point for me in this book. Leylah was able to get me to justify actions that I would normally consider abhorrent, and I loved that she was able to twist my mind in that way. These characters are going to become a part of your heart, and you’ll be thinking about them long after you finish this book.The imagery in this this book truly brought this story to life. We’re not just reading this book, we are able to experience this story along with the characters, rather than just reading about a series of events. I could taste the food, hear the music, and feel the pain, the love, the longing, the devastation.The Paper Swan is more than mere words strung together to form sentences which turn into paragraphs that cover a page. No, these words are laid together perfectly, end to end, like pearls on a string, twisting and turning in violently elegant ways. Trust me when I tell you that this is a story you won’t soon forget.

I read all the hype about this book from Aestas and Co. and decided to 1 - click it.The writing is very good and extremely solid. In fact, it's much better than some of the books I have LOVED in the past. However, the kidnapping trope ruined it for me. Again, a young woman finds herself abducted by some crazed Mexican (Tears of Tess, Shooting Scars, The Bargain) who has a reason (revenge, human trafficking) and there are some very unpleasant situations the heroine faces but some how or another, she develops some kind of deranged, Stockholm Syndrome love for her captor.Not to take away or compare this book to others (as I have just done), the writing is absolutely brilliant. Some of the most beautiful prose in fiction today can be found in this book but it doesn't take away from the fact that this yet another twisted relationship between the abductor and the abducted that has been turned into some kind of Gone With The Wind, can't-live-without-you, so-crazy-I-am-psychotically-in-love-with-you love story. I just don't buy it, not after what Damien did to her while she was in his captivity.I will try to keep this as spoiler free as possible. I didn't get anything out of Skye as a character. She was the blank space of heroines. Damien had more gumption, depth, depravity and passion in one pinky finger than she did in her whole body. I suppose this also took away from my enjoyment of the story. Skye was reduced to the information we would find on her Driver's License. She was a poor little rich girl -- blonde of course -- who turned into a poor little rich young woman with the personality of a cream-colored cashmere sweater. There didn't seem to be any real fight or passion in her. As the story progressed, her whole reason for being, and existing in the novel, seemed to be Damien. I realize why but it would seem like what he put her through would have made her stronger and much more determined. Perhaps if she gained a backbone, her likability factor would have gone up and this would have easily been a solid 4 star book in my opinion.All criticism aside it was entertaining enough that I finished the book, would never return it for a refund and it was read in a matter of days. The prose and depth of Ms. Attar's writing has made her an author I would gladly read again. I don't see myself revisiting The Paper Swan though once I retire it to my Amazon cloud account.
