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?

BOOKS TWO & THREE
of the
Saskia Trilogy
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.
