Somewhere out in the universe on a purple moon a girl needs to make a change. A big change. And her life will never be the same again.
I have never read a book branded as 'cozy sci-fi' before and I was pleasantly surprised. Argysi, with its purple desert and hanging tower gardens captured my imagination completely. I love the world, I love the coziness and most of all I love the raw emotional realness of this story.
Perhaps this story resonates so deeply because I find myself in a situation similar to August's but I think it's something more. In a busy world where burn out is a very real thing, this story challenges us to ask those hard questions about why we do what we do and why we do things the way we do them. It asks if there can be something more. And (for August but I think for many others too) the answer is a powerful yes. Yes it may be hard and terrifying but yes, it is possible to make those big changes. Sometimes it is very necessary to make them. And we may very well be better, healthier people afterwards.
So if you're looking for something warm and cozy and full of hope and encouragement with a purple moon and memory-holding sand and hanging gardens, this book is for you.
