A review by rukiakyubi
For Ever by Cindy Paul, Renée Zonneveld
5.0
This was such a lovely book.
Every character was relatable in their own unique way and very easy to love. They walk paths of self-discovery, recognising their flaws and learning from them. Fighting prejudices (even your own) takes central stage in these five stories.
Magic is presented in a very subtle way, always there but never the focus, which was nice and helped keep the stories grounded and real. The world is detailed but simple and believable.
My only objection is not about the book itself but the description I read that made me expect a single story about a girl and a dragon. I was sad to lose Saga and then Pid as main characters, until it was clear it was a collection of stories and I learned to treasure the new perspectives.
Basically: loved the book, would read anything by this author.
