Description

Clean YA Fantasy

"We belong to the earth, Lainie-Bug. We were sent here in human form for a reason. If you don’t know what to do, then just be human."

Right. Like that was ever a simple thing to do.

Simple would be finishing high school without that desolate music trickling through the cracks in my dreams, making me too tired to study.

Simple would be telling Noah his girlfriend smells like last week’s dim sims without second-guessing my own reasons for not liking her.

Simple would be keeping the mining company from trespassing on our sheep farm.

Perhaps for a human, those things would be simple. No wonder I could never quite get the hang of it. Then again, a simple life would have never let me feel the flames of the sacred spinning sword, or breathe the fragrance of the Garden, or sink my teeth into the Living Fruit from the Tree of Life…

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with the ARC. This was a very good story! I loved the author's writing style, the characters and their interactions, and I really enjoyed myself during this read! Will read more from this author in the future and next book in the series!

A beautiful fairytale told about a story that isn't told a lot. The main characters are well described and you really get the feeling to know them. It was a very fast and easy read for me, which is very important to me. I don't want to keep struggling to finsh a book on time.

It absolutely qualifys as a young adult fantasy and I would recommend it to people who love this genre.

I am already looking forward to the next books. The author does a beautiful job of setting up a scene in a way that makes me feel as if I am right there with the characters. The dialogue flowed naturally and moved along the plot in a very smooth way.
