Volume One

by
Miss Aoife Marie Sheridan


Four Banished Angels,
A world created by the hands of God,
A kingdom on it's knees,
A secret protected for Centuries.
And one mortal can save them all.
Step into Saskia

SUMMARY
(from Amazon)
Sarajane Anderson is your regular twenty-one year old with family, friends and a normal job. She also happens to be the only person who can save Saskia, a parallel world to earth. When Sarajane is taken to Saskia, she could never have imagined the reality of the world that she is stepping into- a world where magical abilities are in everyone's possession. She must face a father she never knew, a world that is beyond her belief, a guardian who captures her heart; and a darkness that wants to take it. On her journey, Sarajane discovers her magical abilities, and realizes too that they come with a price. Sarajane is truly tested as her own loved ones are put at risk- the ultimate question she is forced to ask herself is, how do you choose who lives and who dies?

REVIEW
I received an ebook for review purposes,
The book was a good fantasy read for YA's.  I had wished the characters would have been a little more developed.  The book, even though a fantasy read, lacked the realism feeling that , to me keep a reader attached to the book.  With the realism, you feel part of the situation, whatever it may be.  I just didn't get that from this book. I found it hard to see how a plain, middle class girl could go to being a princess in another world and not have a problem accepting it or questions as to why, how, where or anything else?
There was one part of the book, I found to be realistic and that was the romance part.  Sarajane, even though now in an another world, didn't forget the guy she left behind in her real world.
  I had a hard time finishing the book and when I got to the last page, it was a little disappointing.  Like it wasn't thought through, it was just written down just to finish the book.   I was left disappointed with the book. I just wanted there to be more descriptions, more realism, even though it was fantasy and more of a  strong ending.  A real cliff hanger that would want you to want another book.  I jut didn't feel that. 
As I try to always say,  The book is in the reader's eyes and mind.  Everyone sees the written word differently.  This review was just my view.  SO grab a copy and see what you think.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I was given a complimentary copy of EDEN FOREST from the author,  Ms. Aoife Marie Sheridan, for my view of the book.  No other compensation took place.    

I would give this book   2   STARS.
