Review:
~First of all, I would like to give a huge thank you to the amazing author of this wonderful novel for sending me a free copy in exchange for my honest review!~
This book was truly amazing, I enjoyed it so much. It started out with you thinking one thing is going on, when, haha 50 more pages in there's something completely different going on. Hold on, one second.
*puts book into I-can't-really-say-much-without-spoiling-basically-everything shelf* *puts book into totally-didn't-expect-this-to-turn-out-the-way-it-did shelf*
So yeah, obviously, this book didn't turn out as I would have expected, but that's saying it in a good way. It reminds me a bit of Bag Of Lies, because it was an awesome adventure and the blurb didn't spoil anything. YASS!!! *mental self-five* I LOVE LOVE LOVE that!
(Also, haha, fun fact, I never really read a book's blurb after I own/have it, since it usually spoils a major part of the book/plot. Shhh... don't tell anyone!)
Anyway, this was one heck of an awesome ride that I want you to take!
Things I Loved:
-The main character struggled with her faith and found it, not only that, but continued to live it out. Like, actually. It's nice to read something that's more relatable, and that can make you feel like you aren't the only one with hard struggles in life.
-Like mentioned above, the main character is very relatable, with a very down-to-earth and realistic approach to situations.
Things I Didn't Love:
-There were a couple spots where the dialogue was a little slow, so I skipped a little from time to time, but it didn't bother me much.
In Conclusion:
Whether or not you've read speculative or supernatural fiction, this is a great book! It's amazing, and definitely a ride you won't forget!
Recommended?: Absolutely!
