I'm half my father. Half my hero. And I am half my mother. Half soft sighs and half sharp edges. And if they can be Carminder and Amara - then somewhere in my blood and bones, I can be too. I'm the lost princess. I'm the villain of my story and the hero. Part of my mom and part of my dad. I am a fact of the universe. Possible and impossible. I am.nkt no one. I am my parents' daughter. Then I realise - that in this universe, they're alive too. They are alive through me.
Silly, geeky, cute, and very, very cheesy. Very light reading and the perfect distraction fodder for my last week of maternity leave before baby comes.
More to come.

"If you believe in yourself and have a few good friends, then you can do anything. You can be anything."
It's a good listen (since I listened to it's audiobook in Audible although I have a physical copy of this book for years, I never reached out for it) to pass on time. If I was a teen or early 20s, I would have loved this so much because I myself, am or was a geek (? because I can't say I read fantasy novels a lot these days anymore). I thoroughly enjoyed listening and imagining the story but I feel like it just stops there. I won't be thinking much about it afterwards.
Would definitely recommend this book to my teen cousins though!
