"I want to visit this world, and that is a huge recommendation from me."

A devastating sacrifice. A daring rescue. A new world of magic unveiled.
As a fourteen-year-old outsider girl in the Worker village, Isika is destined for endless drudgery, serving her priest stepfather and worshiping the four goddesses of the Worker people. She doesn't fit in and she hates the goddesses, but her mother is dead, and her three remaining siblings need her to be good and keep them safe. She can't think of anything beyond surviving each day and trying to avoid her stepfather's wrath.
Until he decides to sacrifice her youngest brother to the goddesses. And Isika decides that enough is enough.
She sets out on a journey to save her brother, facing an unknown world outside the walls of the Worker village. In the new world, ancient gifts awaken within her as she finds more beauty and more trouble than she could have imagined. To save her brother, she will have to trust the magical creatures and mysterious new friends who have come to guide her.
What's more, as she learns to love her new place in the world, she will have to learn to control magic that could be the key to her destiny and the fate of everyone around her.
Perfect for fans of Madeleine L'Engle, the Chronicles of Narnia, and Robin McKinley. Buy your copy to begin the adventure today!

A basic summary, the main character is 14, her siblings are secondary characters and younger than her. The prologue starts with their mother traveling through a desert with them in tow, with no explanation given why, they come across a city with the impression of uneasiness given, but again, no reason beyond just impression. 8 years later, they live with their step father (the priest of the city) and step mother, their mother died of grief after their sister was sacrificed to the goddesses (they cast children out to sea and assume the goddesses take them), and their 4 year old brother who was born only shortly before their mother died is being sacrificed next so the priest can attempt to prolong his own life, but her and her siblings plot to save their brother, which reveals a strange land, and then the rest is a journey to find him, and reveal more about themselves and their mother, with strange abilities they never knew they had (but details were revealed earlier that you have to think back to, and say "oh, that's what that was about").
I honestly don't even remember buying this book, or remember how I came across it, my schedule lately makes it hard to find time to read full novels, so I try to avoid adding any new ones to my unending reading list, but despite that, I squeezed it in anyway because it was staring at me, begging to be read til I gave in, and I'm glad I did. After looking into it, it was a free one-click purchase, a bait I'm a sucker for, but now that I've been given my free taste to get me hooked, I now know I must buy the rest in the series to satisfy my need to know what happens next.
I loved the beginning, thinking that acceptance was taken. Only to realize that there was not such a pretty picture behind the scenes.
Then the author brings you into another aspect by taking the characters out of their comfort zone (which really wasn’t that great to begin with).
You then are introduced to two new characters that will really help bring the story along. The adventure turns into more than anyone planned.
I just couldn’t stop reading, but my eyes wouldn’t stay open each night to continue.
This story plot of good vs evil is probably among one of my favorites. It gives you time to really think about how subtle things can happen.
I can’t wait to purchase the next in the series.
Having followed and enjoyed the author's blog for a while, off and on, I was intrigued to hear she'd branched out into YA, and fantasy no less, a combination I couldn't resist. I typically don't read ebooks--it drives me bonkers--but I willingly did for this book, and it was worth it. (I missed the bit about it being available in paperback since I clicked on the link to buy it so quickly.)
Things I liked:
The names. Sometimes, it seems to me, the naming conventions of fantasy can go between two extremes: A bit over-the-top or "Maeginne...wait, that's just Megan re-spelled". The names in this book found that happy middle ground and they worked.
The world. At times I wasn't completely sure if she was describing something from our world that I hadn't seen before, or if it was just explained so well that it felt real. I want to taste some of the fruits. And wear the clothes. I want to visit this world, and that is a huge recommendation from me.
Hearing from different perspectives. There's a lot going on inside all the characters. That could get a little overwhelming at times, but it also felt very real. The shift of character perspective was refreshing. I love getting those different points of view.
The characters. I got frustrated with some of them, but in a good way--because they were realistic. I also felt compassion for them, which to me is telling of whether a character is likable or not, and not just if they're nice or fill-in-good-quality-here. (You know what I mean? A character could drive me batty because they're so arrogant or selfish or other bad thing, but if that character is described well, if you get their story, and you can feel for them, they're still enjoyable to read about, even if they're not conventionally likable. That could just be me.)
It's the first in a series, so more to look forward to!
A few notes:
I did not realize it was part of a series, and so the ending came upon me unexpectedly--partly the fault of my reading the ebook format and not having spatial clues. I was quite happy to realize there is going to be more in this world with these characters.
There were a few small editing mistakes. Very minor. I've seen much more egregious errors in books published by big ol' publishing houses.
I want a map! They help soooo much with being able to place things correctly in a made-up world. Pretty-please, dear author, make a map for the next book.
I thought the intense parts and difficult issues were handled very well indeed, in a manner that makes it suitable for YA, while still being realistic. (Apparently this world was very REAL to me, judging by the number of times I've used that word and 'realistic' in this review.)
The only reason I didn't give this five stars is that I felt like there needed to be a bit more explanation of a few things--namely regarding some of the magic/magical beings/etc. But, I also think that those things will be brought up in future books, and, if I had actually paid attention and realized sooner that it was the first in a series, I wouldn't have been expecting an explanation in THIS book.
Again: please map!

I thought of this whole book as an allegory for our world and what it had been, what it is and what it could be.
I will definitely be buying the next book!
