My review

This was such an amazing story. With elements of religion and fantasy to it. I was totally immersed into their world and soon was totally rooting for the main character Leo. The ending was great and totally took me by surprise. The characters and the environments were described so well by the author that I actually could very much see what she was describing. This is her debut novel and I am excited to see what other great books she can write next.
