About the Book: Truth is more dangerous than fiction…in this exhilarating upper YA fantasy that will capture fans of Shadow and Bone and Dark Water Daughter In ancient times, the Elder Wrights breathed their magic into the fabric of the seven seas. Now what was once an ocean of plenty is slowly becoming a sea of death, and the Talin—a race of hidden mages—are beginning to starve. And for the first time ever, one of their own has no magic. Ostracized by her own people, Nieve is certain that the old stories hide a missing piece of the puzzle. It’s just a matter of unlocking the secret. But when a stranger comes sailing into their harbor, Nieve’s world is suddenly blown wide open.

Books Eater: Yes, that's right. I devour books.
Books Eater is a personal blog. It's all about the books I have read, written, or want to read. It's also about authors who wrote these books and genres we can't help but discuss. Basically, all things bookish.
Reading is my passion and the experience of finishing yet another book never fails to brighten up my day even if I don't like it much. Reviews shared on this blog are my opinions, so feel free to agree or disagree with them.
My rating criteria are simple: It depends on how much I enjoyed the book, which in turn depends on my mood.
If I loved it, read it in one sitting, and didn't find anything boring about it then it's a five Finger-licking Stars. If it's an average read, some parts were interesting while others not so much, then I will rate it four yummy stars. If I didn't like it much but still managed to read the whole book then it's three sweet stars. However, if I hate the book then chances are that I won't be reviewing it, or it will be less than a star book for me. Sometimes when I'm unsure about my feelings about a book I add or subtract point five from my rating.
