About the book:
YA Fantasy fiction full
of surprises. This is a story about a girl, the man she loves, the boy who
stole her heart, and Reficul, the evil ruler that stands to ruin it all. Lily
Channon gets caught up in a war only she has the power to stop. The only
problem is she doesn’t know why or even how. Her quest for answers leads her on
a journey through love, heart wrenching betrayal, and ultimately has deadly
consequences. Lily doesn’t know who to trust and neither will you.
Review:
My
expectations for this book were very high. The synopsis promise us a very cool
young adult story.
What
I most liked about this book was the story itself. The idea is so original and
fun... it reminds me a lot of Narnia stories, which is always a good complement.
The
truth is, you never know what to expect, and that’s awesome. We all love
stories where things are unpredictable, and that happens a lot in this book. I
started it thinking that something was going to happen, but the next moment something
changes.
In
my opinion, I wanted more of this cute romance happening between Henry and
Lilly, but that ended quickly. Suddenly we enter a world of magic and fairy tales.
This world was kind of confusing to me, but it works well for people who loves
this genre.
I didn’t
connect that much with the characters. I think they should have more stories attach
to themselves. Lilly for example is our main character but she doesn’t show
that much herself. It’s like she’s living in a bubble of shyness and stiffness.
But maybe I was the only one thinking that way…
Henry
on the other hand, is an amazing character. He has all the characteristics that
make a reader fall in love with. He’s charming, brave, a little bold… but he suddenly
disappears from the story and I got stressed out, not knowing what happened with
him and some other characters.
I wanted
this book to have two sides. It should have the side of Lilly and the world she
enters, and the side of her family and Henry. Too many questions assault us
when we are reading from the moment Lilly disappears.
But
if some of you read this book, I want to know your opinion. This is only my thoughts
about it, and yours may be completely different from mine.
The
end was great! I really loved it. It was very unpredictable and shocking.
My
best thanks to the author that was really kind to me and I sorely want to read
more of her books :)
