About the book:
After Gabriel Draven smuggles home the Stone of the Seven Realms, his fear of facing consequences launches him and his oddball family on a rollicking run for their lives across the world they only thought they knew. As his journey takes him out of his realm and into another, Gabriel discovers that the deepest mystery lies at the heart of his own family, and he must do whatever it takes to find his way back home.
Strong and unapologetic, full of vivid, well-timed simile and lilting rhythm, bright with humor, at times bursting into a depth of pure simplistic beauty, The Book of Secrets looks far beyond the typical medieval swords-and-sorcery and, instead, introduces mystical creatures, absurd new worlds, and, at its heart, a hymn of praise to the complicated bond of siblinghood.
My thoughts: 5/5 stars.
Gabriel has rejected his mother's way of life.
He doesn't like talk of wizards and witches and seers and avoids it at all costs.
So why does it keep choosing him?
First he finds a mysterious stone which holds more power than he can imagine. Then he finds a book full of secrets hidden away in an old bookshop.
His journey after that is epic to say the least.
The Book of Secrets took me on an adventure of a lifetime. Through different worlds, and imagined creatures. I was entertained with every word.
I had a grand time with Gabriel, Ren, Patch and Hollis as they traveled through uncertain times and learned having a brother is no small thing.
It warmed my heart to read about these quirky siblings and their story made me feel closer to my siblings.
I also really loved that the author wove her faith into this story in a creative way.
It was refreshing to see that in a genre that usually struggles with that in my opinion.
Little's writing was often quite well, gorgeous! Sometimes she described the simplest of things in the most amazing way. I adored it.
P.S I totally recommend for fans of Harry Potter!
