Emlyn DuLaine lives an unfortunate life. As a child she watched her older sister unravel…
That’s the only word she has to describe it. She turned to ribbons, unraveled, and disappeared.
No one believes her, and dozens of therapists later, she almost believes her mind tricked her into seeing this. As a result, her writings of a fantasy world remain untouched… until she gets a sudden burst of inspiration…. and unravels herself too. She enters the world she thought she had written, only to find out it’s real and that her writing might be her mind remembering it.
This book was fantastic! I love how it draws on fiction as a whole to create a new story. In this tale, stories are glass spheres that hold the foundations of the world (what an amazing metaphor, right?). The ‘knights’ of this world, if you were to call them that, have a job of protecting the sacred story plots, and if something goes wrong, they must enter the sphere to fix it. But… are they doing the right thing? You have to read the story to find out! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy and fiction!
