Review posted on Fafa's Book Corner !
I received this E-ARC via Helvetic House and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
DNF
When I got the email from Netgalley that this book was available for 'Read Now' I immediately requested it! I love MG fantasies! Unfortunately I did not enjoy it.
The book begins with Anna writing a letter to her Uncle Misha. She's getting worried because he hasn't responded to her previous letters. When she was born her Uncle found her with a few bears. Her parents are dead and he took after her for some years. Then when she was 6 years old he took her to school. At some point she was transferred to the orphanage that she is currently in.
Anna is extremely excited for her 13th birthday! It's not because she is becoming a teenager. She can feel it in her bones that something life changing will happen on her birthday. Anna has started noticing strange things lately. For example when the sun is out she can see the moon.
The only reason I didn't enjoy this is because of the writing style. In the beginning I wasn't bothered by it. But as I continued to read on it started to bother me.
I liked Anna's character. And the relationship she had with her Uncle. It was cool to read about some of Anna's abilities! Hence why I rated it 2 stars.These aspects couldn't save the writing style for me.
Overall I did not enjoy the writing style. I still recommend it because it sounds like a sweet story.
