Val by Jennie Lynn Roberts
4.0
The action, adventure, and suspense starts off right away. What a great way to grab our attention so that we have no choice but to follow the trail to see where it will lead us. Val seems to be dealing with finger pointing. Alanna has had a lot to deal with both mentally and physically.
Even though the author has created a world of fantasy, some aspects of our world seems to bleed in. Evil can exist anywhere and that includes bullies. Something else that seems to have filtered in is how easily people come to believe everything they are told – without checking the facts for themselves. We get to also see the opposite of that as well as heartbreak.
We have a butterfly conservatory nearby and there were times where I wished that I would just go in and sit with them flittering all around me. It would help me put my mind in the right place. Closest thing, for right now, would be to sit outside with nature and let the animals be my background music.
What I love about a fantasy world is that imagination has free rein. Nothing is off limits and we get to visit a world that might, or might not, truly exist. But it can exist in our minds. The author does a great job of painting pictures that I can see in my mind. I can step in and out of a world where my problems, at least for a little while, don’t exist. Some of you may even get involved and start to wonder how you would solve some of the conflict going on.
This is a tale that goes beyond our thoughts of Tinkerbell and where she may have come from. I liked the strong will Val had for doing what was right. As adults, we need to train our brain to not think of everything that we can see in front of us. We need to go back to our childhood where everything that we couldn’t see was possible. The ending though gave me thoughts of how long do I have to wait to see where the author will be taking us next.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
