About this book:
“When faced with the impossible and the unthinkable, choose the impossible.
All that fifteen-year-old Einur Landman has left in the world are his flock of sheep and his beloved little sister. His entire life's purpose is to keep Lody safe from the evil ruling class. But he never expected that it would be his own name that was drawn for the child sacrifice. Leaving Lody with his promise to return, Einur escapes into the wild where he meets a stranger with a plan to bring down the Illyrië. Forced to choose between the unthinkable – Lody’s probable death – and the seemingly impossible, Einur takes the latter.
In his quest from his mountain village, through countless dangers, to the sea itself, everything Einur believes will be tested. For Lody's sake, can he make a final crucial choice and stand firm to the end?”
Series: As of now, no.

Rating-
“Fantasy
is not my favorite nor preferred genre.”
I’ve said it before, and yet I keep review them. Maybe it’s because they keep
luring me in with different plotlines. ;)
I would have liked more Christian
content, but it was a decent amount with the whole fighting-the-evil plot. Different
creatures, sea fairies, and dragons add to the fantasy feel. The writing was
good and not overwhelming like some past fantasies I’ve read. I was able to
follow along and paint a semi-clear picture of what was being shown/said, which
I give as a high compliment as I don’t see too many fantasy authors not get a
bit detailed happy in talking about everything.
I do have to comment on how much I
loved reading about Einur caring for his little sister, Lody. Even though I
picked up on the few hints about it, that ending still got to me. It was so
bittersweet, and that’s all I’m saying! ;)
See y’all on Monday with a new
review!
