I received a signed copy of this
book through a giveaway on FaceBook, and the following is my honest opinion for
the book.
While the premise of parallel
universes is not new, the way the author chooses to use the concept is. In the
case of a Eden Forest by Aoife Marie Sheridan the parallel universe is Saskia
and SaraJane is the link between it and back home on Earth.
On Earth SaraJane is a typical
21-year old. She has a job and one day after her mother disappears she gets
whisked by Tristan to an unknown world where she discovers she is now a real
life princess, and is the only one who can save Saskia from its fate.
Growing up on Earth SaraJane had no
powers, but soon discovers she has magical ones now, like everyone else.
On Saskia she starts to discover
herself through a journey which will take her through the unbelievable world
she’s on now, which includes coming face to face with a father she never knew
as a child.
The story which the author has
written is pure fantasy, and has a romantic element in which SaraJane’s
guardian has grabbed the attention of her heart. However, there a dark element present that
wants to take this away from her.
The more SaraJane learns about the
powers she now possesses, the more she learns it comes with a heavy price, as
she’s being continuously tested. And she
ultimately must ask herself a question no one wants to have to answer, the
question concerning life and death itself, the question which deals with who
will die and who will live.
The storyline, which begs the reader
to read more and to turn each page to learn more, only could be present due to
the skillful writing of Ms. Sheridan.
Eden Forest is the first part of the
trilogy the author has concocted of which I’d love reading. But unfortunately,
being a Book Reviewer, I don’t have the time or luxury of being able to read
the rest of the books in this series. With that said, I’m giving this book 5
STARS.
