She’s able to seamlessly fit in a history lesson while the crew is making their way to their destination at the start of the book. I also found it impressive that it’s so clear Messenger did a lot of research while planning this series. She makes it seem like the pollution is almost a tangible thing in such a beautiful and quiet way that this awful fact almost seems palatable. This mirrors what’s happening in real life and as these books are aimed towards younger readers, Messenger is doing an amazing job at showing future generations why it’s important to take care of the planet we live on.
Personally, I love the fact that she’s got a subplot going in which humans are polluting the planet and that’s why the elves have to try so hard to save it. Not only is the main plot so well written that it’s made me cry on multiple occasions, Messenger also does an amazing job at sussing out subplots that add to the story rather than detract from it. I know I’m going to need to take a little break from the series after finishing this book in order to give my emotions a break, but I also know that I won’t be able to get back to this world quickly enough. I don’t need to care about characters, I’m just fine being a husk of a human, I swear.ĭespite how emotional this book made me, or maybe because of it, this was an amazing read. Perhaps it’s because authors like Messenger come around to play with my emotions like it’s a fun thing to do.
Have I mentioned this book made me cry? A lot? I’m starting to think books make me cry easier than I thought… I didn’t used to be so impacted by books and the stuff that happens within their pages. “I should’ve known you’d find a way to end up here” (p.
