So far this year this book is one of my favorite reads. It's
has a little of everything, adventure, romance, and mystery.
The protagonist is Nix,
she's a good mix of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Elizabeth from The
Pirates of the Caribbean. With her amazing knowledge of mythology she become an
unforgettable character.
Her father can navigate his black ship, The Temptation,
through time with the help of maps. He want to get back to back to Nix's mother
but her mother died giving birth to her. Nix's worried that if he succeed she
might no longer exist, but with her wealth of knowledge about map, history, and
mythology he need her help. When she refuse he threaten to leave her best
friend and possibly her love where she can't return. Will she refuse risking
being like her father or help him?
I love the mix of opposites in this story, facts and fiction
(Mythology) Everything in this story is itself and its opposite (Once you read
the story you'll understand, I promise) Even Nix's name has this principle.
After reading this I wish I could visit 19th century Hawaii.
Heidi Heilig made it sound magical.
I did think the beginning was a little confusing and slow.
Keep reading it get better. I wonder if it would be more interesting if it
started where Nix's running through the market with the bird instead of trying
to explain the bird's importance while she trying to bargaining for it. It might have been confusing but I would had
the question of why running through my head.
Anyway I still love this book, and it's coming out February
22, 2016 buy this book!
