Review of Changing Masks
[Following is a volunteer review of "Changing Masks" by Nicholas Metelsky.]
Changing Masks by Nicholas Metelsky is a science fiction novel set in Japan. It is a story about Max, a legendary inter-world traveler who is in the body of a 10-year-old kid whose parents abandoned him when he was 9 years old, although he kept it hidden from everyone that he was abandoned, claiming to anyone asked that his parents went overseas to work and make more money.
The Koyama family, his wealthy next-door neighbors, took him as family, helping him out in any ways they could, even helping him gain admission into Dakisyuro High School, an elite high school that the children of plenty of elite families attended; even the girls of the Koyama family attended there too. There he will make friends and enemies and form a stronger bond with the Koyama family. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy science fiction novels with an adventurous storyline.
Changing Masks is an adventurous and mysterious book with a lot of ups and downs. The book is a roller coaster ride that takes you on a journey with Max, the inter-world traveler and destroyer who is currently occupying the body of a child. The book talks about who he used to be, where he came from, and the things he had to do to survive as a young child abandoned by his parents. The part I enjoyed most about the book is his banta with the Koyama girls; the love and friendship he had with them and the support they gave him is truly admirable. My favorite character in the book is Shina Koyama; even when they are best of friends, she still calls him out, corrects him when she feels he is wrong, and gives him full support when he needs it.
The book is an interesting read, which I did not dislike, but the changing timeline can be confusing. When he has a flashback to his previous life or the thing he did when he was younger to be able to survive, the quick change in timelines can get a bit confusing; you will have to reread a few lines to know where you missed it. But all in all, it is a very good book that is worth reading.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars for its engaging ability; the author was able to have me hooked on this great read. I learned how important friendship and support can be; even when your best friend is wrong, it is always the best thing to call him out and correct that wrong, which was brilliantly portrayed through the relationship between Shina and Max. This aspect of the book is one lesson I learned and love so much; it is definitely going to stick with me. The book was exceptionally well edited and error-free.
