My review...
Madeline and Jason agree to a year of service in Sunlit
Lands in exchange for their greatest desire. In Madeline’s case, it’s to have a
more normal life—one where she can breathe without issue. Jason is battling his
own personal demons. They will soon learn, however, that things are not as they
were led to believe.
The latest from Mikalatos is the first installment in a new
YA fantasy series. It contains an interesting cast of characters. The cover
will likely catch the reader’s eye, and it’s a good fit for the story. I’ve
never read a story from this author before, and I was impressed with this imaginative
tale, which included humor and numerous twists. Mikalatos gives the reader a
few things to ponder along the way, as some relevant social issues are explored
in this tale. An excerpt from the next book is included. I enjoyed the
additional items, such as: a creative map, a detailed cast of characters, and various
stories/songs/proverbs/poems from Sunlit Lands.
