Interesting fantasy style book about Erica needing to go through trails ,, I love fantasy type books with great storylines and world building like this 💕

I Initially applied to read this book because I absolutely love anything with a trial and competition. And this book did not disappoint. Although the beginning of the book had a slower pace it rapidly picked up as the plot progressed. The character Erica really grew and kept me engaged in the story as I was rooting for her success the whole time. Overall I think it is a great book and is perfect for young adults!!

Courtesy of NetGalley I received this book.
Overall good baseline and start.
Definitely recommend for the younger crowd.
I had to work hard to keep my attention in this story. Some characters were likable while others you were hoping would fail.

I enjoyed the idea of the story
Most reactions seem real and reasonable. I just couldn’t connect to the story.
If you’re into YA fantasy where the FMC starts growing and learning about her self. Then this is the book for you.

This book was so beautifully written!!!!
I loved the characters I felt like I connected with Erica. This book was giving hunger games and I’m here for it the author has amazing writing skills and I was genuinely so shocked the whole time I read this! For this being my first arc ever I was so excited and this was book met my expectations in the best ways!! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to read this beautiful book

This!!! Oh wow, what an incredible debut and hopefully an incredible start to what I feel would make an EXCELLENT series! This book gave me all sorts of feels! I loved the story. I couldn't put this down at all. The cover is gorgeous, and I love the various shades of blue. They pop right off! The writing is excellent and flows so well. It's definitely more than appropriate for the young adults of the world. I really enjoyed the world-building, and E.S. did this with such excellent execution. Aquoril sounds breathtaking! The characters were so good and each had their own stories that can be told, I think. Erica was great. She was so versatile and adaptable. If she doesn't inspire a generation of young adults, then I don't know who will! If you want rich and imaginative read next, then give this a go! You won't be disappointed!

DNF... I usually like Portal Fantasy, but the bad words that it had kind of took me out of the prologue's magic. Interesting premise, might be suited for other people. Anyways, I wish the author a good release day.

Erica Brooks nunca imaginó que su vida en un tranquilo suburbio de Indiana cambiaría después de una simple fiesta de cumpleaños. Lo que comenzó como una noche cualquiera terminó con un encuentro imposible: el agua del estanque del jardín pareció responder a su toque. Desde ese instante, todo lo que creía conocer se desmorona. Su mejor amiga Megan empieza a actuar de forma extraña, su consejero escolar parece ocultar secretos y, poco a poco, Erica descubre que posee habilidades vinculadas a un antiguo poder ancestral. Sin saber en quién confiar, se ve arrastrada a un mundo oculto bajo la superficie del suyo, donde la magia, la lealtad y la traición van de la mano. Para sobrevivir, deberá aceptar quién es realmente… antes de que el agua la reclame por completo.
