Set in a time where women are seen as possessions and inferior to men, we get to see a forward-thinking heroine looking for a chance to live the life she’s always dreamed of. I normally stay away from historical fiction, or fantasy in this case, because I prefer the freedoms of our current time; however, I deeply enjoyed reading this book. The strength of the main character and her tenacious attitude kept me focused from the start. Then there’s the fantastical and paranormal aspect to the book that I found so unique and refreshing! I also loved how everything started to fall into place as the story went on and the mystery began to unfold. I’m looking forward to book two!… (plus d'informations)

This book is fantastic. Evaline is a strong young woman who may have some fears about using her magic and saving the worlds but she is going to do it. She is on a search for the treasure that will kill the creature trying to destroy the worlds…plus she is up against her father’s archaic views of trying to marry her off. Full of suspense, intrigue and adventures with a dash of romance, you surely won’t be disappointed with this story. Evaline is a strong protagonist that goes up against some mean characters. Well-written, the plot really flows well together. There are even a few plot twists thrown in for good measures. I love how the characters are written and how well they all mesh together even though they are so different. It amazes me with the archaic views of fathers trying to marry off their daughters, and it’s never for love. Ugh! The tone is humor with serious. It’s an enjoyable read that the young adults, even the older adults will enjoy.… (plus d'informations)
