Danielle, an American teenager, is on a plane which crashes in a desert. She is the only survivor and after a while Danielle struggles out of the wreckage. She walks through the desert to the city of Irem. Here she changes her name to Jazrael, meets many different people and falls in love with her new home.
This novel is not a plane crash survivor tale but a fantasy adventure featuring lots of magic. Join Jazrael in this fantasy world where everything you know about life on earth is rewritten. Things are different in Irem, where the laws of nature and physics do not apply.
This story set in the unreal city of Irem, is refreshing because it is new to Jazrael and to you. It is an entertaining adventure as Jazrael starts her new life in this make believe world where magic happens everyday. For all it's silliness, this book is a joy to read. You can escape your everyday life and enjoy this story for what it is, a magical escapism.
Jazrael meets a good range of characters who she spends a lot of time with, the atmosphere is rather cosy. There is a nice contemporary humour where Jazrael compares things from today's American life we are all familiar with, to her new life in Irem.
I enjoyed reading this book and found it a refreshing change to my regular favourite genres of crime, mystery and thriller. I think this is a good book and I vote it 4 stars.
The Genesis of Jazreal was written in 2013 and is available as an 339 KB Amazon Kindle eBook.
