My Take on the Book:

The first page definitely caught my attention; some of the descriptions in this book are quite interesting and I quite liked the village of Antella. Jacoby Pines can sometimes come across as one of those people that slowly meanders their way through life, not really having a purpose nor making their way towards one, and along the way; he has to deal with a lot of uncertainty. I ended up giving this wonderful book a five star rating and got a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Last Word:

If you’re someone who enjoys fictional travel; definitely try this book.

Enjoy,
Carmen
