GOODREADS SYNOPSIS:
Mariella Teagen hasn't spoken a word in four years.
She pledged her voice to Orane, the man she loves—someone she only sees in her dreams. Each night, she escapes to Paradise, the world Orane created for her, and she sings for him. Mariella never believed she could stay in Paradise longer than a night, but two weeks before her eighteenth birthday, Orane hints that she may be able to stay forever.
Hudson Vincent made a pledge to never fight again.
Calease, the creature who created his dream world, swore that giving up violence would protect Hudson. But when his vow caused the death of his little brother, Hudson turned his grief on Calease and destroyed the dream world. The battle left him with new abilities and disturbing visions of a silent girl in grave danger—Mariella.
Now, Hudson is fighting to save Mariella's life while she fights to give it away. And he must find a way to show her Orane’s true intentions before she is lost to Paradise forever.
MY THOUGHTS:
“It’s amazing how fast something that seems like paradise can turn into a nightmare.”
The synopsis of this book is what really intrigued me. This book started off with a bang and a lot of mystery. It really sucked me in. The world building was tremendous. I can only imagine how hard it is to depict a fantasy world, but Erica did an amazing job. She was so descriptive I felt like I was on the sidelines physically watching the story unfold.
I love when books are narrated from multiple points of view so I was already pretty excited about reading this book. Erica did such an amazing job narrating from multiple points (Mariella and Hudson) that I was blown away. I feel like I got a better sense of each character’s personality. I’m also drawn toward books with time stamps, I feel it really gives you a wonderful sense of when each plot twist was taking place.
Overall I really loved this book and would recommend it to any reader that likes fantasy books.
