Description

When Rosemary grows tired of her father's overstatements and boasting with respect to her supernatural powers, which includes the ability to create flowers just by looking at their images, she decides to flee to a sanctuary far from Pandemville, her hometown. Together with a friend, and pursued by an angry father, Rosemary is sent on a series of journeys in order to escape an unknown danger. During those journeys, Rosemary encounters a series of very different societies, each of which offers to share its ideals: Courage, Loyalty, Awareness, Wisdom and Strength.

A fascinating premise, with loads of originality and plenty of potential. But it kept losing me with its narrative style. Where I would have loved to get some melodic description, I found basic description and characters whose voices sounded the same. We get a good j0urneying plot, and again the author makes much of the very unique and creative premise with the ability make plants appear (neat!) It's a light read, quickly done, and satisfying in its flow. There's something to be said for a brisk narrative without tremendous depth. Sometimes you just want to glide along and take in the storytelling, rather than immerse into a complex story. That said, worth your time.

I loved the book cover. It pulled me into reading this book in the first place. The story outline was amazing and intriguing as well. I did have to re-read the beginning of the story a few times since the writing style is a bit different and difficult to understand. But after that it was simple and really fast to finish. The ending of the story where the father dies was too fast. It would of been better if it had more information on it. Like how did he get there, how did Rosemary get to the father, more details rather than the sword, blood that's it. Other then that I really enjoyed how different this story was.

The author's debut novel is about a young girl named Rosemary, who sets out on a journey in order to avoid her father, only to bring him back to life with the help that she receives from her mother who had initially passed on to a different conscious dimension.
It’s pretty neat!
My advice is, read this book until the very end; it's definitely worth the time.
