Poetic and Encouraging
Published by Evangeline Artino , 8 months ago
I loved the poetic elements and format of the text and overall style of writing. I also absolutely loved the character development throughout the book, and the morals and life lessons given throughout the parts or the book. I think anyone who has experienced having to move somewhere unfamiliar and start a new life elsewhere would enjoy and relate to the story.
