I was drawn to this book by its beautiful cover, what I didn't expect was to be totally blown away by the beautiful story inside. Steven Savile really is a master at weaving a fantastically fun, entertaining story. I stayed up until 6am to finish it because I was so engrossed I completely lost track of time. Every teenage girl can relate to feeling uncomfortable in their own skin and feeling like they don't belong. In Ashley Hawthorne’s case it's actually true. She isn't who she thinks she is, and when her Aunt dies Ashley’s life is thrown upside down and she embarks on a journey of self discovery that may just change everything. It's really difficult to sum up the book so here are some keywords: fantasy, danger, hope, love, family, all weaved into a great story that I think will stand the test of time and people will be reading and enjoying for many years to come. For me, one of the underlying themes of the book is that family isn't necessarily blood. Which, due to some person issues right now really had an impact on me and made me love the book even more. The book is worded perfectly, although it is a YA novel, everyone can enjoy it. This is one of my favourite books this year so far and I really want to know what happens next…please, please let there be another book in the making.
