Review
Surprisingly, this novel felt both strange and yet, familiar. Strange because the author incorporated an element of fantasy, and familiar because of the very realistic situation and setting. I like the combination. It didn’t feel like a natural fit for the story at first, but it grew on me. Skye’s character resonated with me and made me realize how hard it is to deal with a character like her, trying to escape instead of facing the challenges that come her way. Overall, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It was unique and absorbing with great philosophical dialogues, and good character motivations. Highly recommended.
