The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
2.0
this book has a really intriguing concept and so much potential. Nix’s dad is a navigator, which means that as long as he has a map (fictional, historical or real) he can get there. Nix and her dad live on a ship together. There’s time travelling as well. Just hearing that concept, intrigued me and made me want to read this book. It was an easy read which is nice.
I’m not sure if it’s just because I feel like I’m kind of over YA, but it felt like not a lot happened. There was a lot of beautiful descriptions but the story in general felt disjointed and I was just waiting for more to happen.
Nix as a character didn’t feel like a character. I don’t think she had a personality since she was so boring. The side characters were also interchangeable to me. The story, plotting and characters felt really underdeveloped.
