General Thoughts

It seems silly and, frankly, rather self indulgent, to consider rating a novel that has already proved itself by transending time and become a classic, a symbol for the passionate, intense grief of separation, be it a product of cruelties, mortal nature or, if you please, fate.

Wuthering Heights is a masterpiece of English literature from prose to writing to narrating.

And love it or hate it, that much is broadly accepted.

The kind of girl that can time travel, on a daily basis, with a magic ship, is the kind of of girl I'd like to be friends with.

The Girl From Everywhere got to a four and a half star rating working up from three, without my even realising it.

Turns out I like myths about ancient magical creatures and faraway places almost as much as I love confusing my brain with notions of time I cannot begin to shallow; fate and destiny are passé, instead giving way to "history already written" or time not existing at all and to coexisting timelines and parallel universes, where sheer belief can make a place and time come to life.

Awesome awesome book!!!

A rebel prince. Djinn and their daughters. Galan armies and Mirajin soldiers. A secret weapon, a silent war brewing...

Travel to the ends of the world, to the middle of the desert. To faraway kingdoms that speak of Arabian nights and scathing sun, and sands, sands that get stuck onto your skin and deep into your soul.

Meet a fierce, fiery Mirajin, more gunpowder than girl, and follow her as she escapes her Dusty town and crosses the desert on a magic horse with a convicted traitor.

Follow the rebellion, the fight for freedom, for a better life, for a new desert. 

And fall in love with a strong, stoic warrior and his countless secrets.
