A review by ambassadorfae
The Original Dream by Nukila Amal, Linda Owens

2.0

I had no idea what magical realism might be, but it sounded so absolutely compelling that I was disheartened to find only ancestral nostalgia. Guess I should stick with it and see where it leads, but if an author bores me in the first chapter...she better get all fuckin' Jules Verne on this mf - with volcanoes, hot air balloons, monsters and crap - or I'm outtie.
