Mina is the shy, quiet girl who stays in the background, overlooked by everyone, even her family. And she's comfortable with that. She doesn't like the spotlight, being the center of attention. But everything changes when she bonds with a lightning beast and then discovers a terrible secret. One that many powerful people would be very upset if it were revealed. Can Mina find her voice, make herself be heard, and tell a truth that must be told?
I'm a grown woman, but my gosh, this book spoke to me so much. I was that shy, quiet girl in the background, still am to an extent, and would've loved to have read about a heroine like Mina when I was a kid. She's so relatable. It was nice to have a quiet girl be the brave one in the story. To show that you can be quiet, yet courageous at the same time.
This was a beautiful book. One that celebrates being true to yourself. Accepting yourself for exactly who you are. Learning that it's okay to be different and realizing that, sometimes, that's exactly what the world needs.
