Where was this book in 2011 when I was knee deep in YA and fantasy. To have this book so full of culture, family, and mythical folklore would have been such a treat. The plot was easy going just like these characters and goodness, it was pretty cool to read about a going-home YA that tied in culture, storytelling, and youthful romance. The main MC wasn't my favorite right away, but I think that comes with the territory when a character is discovering their roots and they're unsure about so many things. But I did enjoy Daniel. I'm looking forward to the next book.
