It wasn’t for me. It was an imaginative creative book, but the narrative structure was lacking for me. More poetry than anything else. Perhaps for people who love novels in verse.

I received a free copy from Dundurn Press in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the writing style however it did take me half the book to have a clear understanding of what was happening. It was a challenging read to say the least. I did enjoy the imagery and the jumps in time to get a full picture on the story. I was reading the book in a middle of a snowstorm and felt I was on the beach in the Carribean.

Will I read from Oonya again? Yes as long as the book is under 200 pages.
