I couldn't get into the book. I wond up not reviewing the book, because I don't feel like that would be fair thing to do. I really loved the concept of the story. I just don't think I was the attendee audience for the book.
A parallel magical world, a prophecy and a sweet teenage girl with powers and red hairs. Shake all these ideas and you’ll meet Scarlet, her family and her new friends and allies. In this world she doesn’t know, she’ll have to tame her new powers, an essential thing if she wants to defeat the darkness. Luckily, she’s smart, inventive and resourceful. She’s very likable too, which helped a lot following her adventures and her chapters.
The magical world has a simple but nice history and lots of different creatures. You’ll find some classic ones like dwarves or faeries but there are too more original ones, with their own mythology. Several of them are involved in the story, allies or enemies, bringing some interesting situations and questions.
Overall, the story is well paced and nicely built with good ideas.. I think I would have enjoyed the book when I was a little younger than Scarlet and I found it easy and pleasant to read as a grown-up. I'll read the sequel for sure as I want to discover what will happen next to the young girl
