My review:

5/5 Stars

~I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review~

This was a very powerful, emotional read, urging you as the reader to find the thing that makes you happy using Matica and her love of Condors as an example. Matica has a disorder that keeps her from growing to her normal size, causing her to be rejected by the Indians of her tribe. It’s her loneliness and wanting to be accepted that causes her to turn to nature where she finds her sanctuary in birds, two condors to be exact.

Matica is a very believable and likeable character. Throughout the book I could feel her every emotion as if they were my own. This novel could definitely serve as an inspirational story to younger people who feel left out or not accepted. This is a beautiful story about friendship, learning to accept yourself, and being happy in spite of the negativity you may face in your life.

And this is only book one of a series that I have a feeling could be very impacting on the world.

Proud author responsible for Dead by Morning and The Council, fascinated by the dark and macabre. Stephen King is her all time inspiration mixed in with a little bit of Eminem and some faint remnants of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. When she began writing, she started in horror but it somehow drifted into thriller. She loves the 1988 movie Heathers. She was born and raised in Michigan but traveled across the country to where she currently resides in Texas. View more posts
