My review,
"Sunborn Rising" by author Aaron Safronoff is a great fantasy story for young adults. Barra is a young girl who begins searching for what happened through her dead father's stories of his own experiences. She is tired of living in the dark. She has read about a different life, one that had light not darkness and she wants the light back. She and her friends decide that they are going to find out what really happened and they are going to find out what her father was talking about. She is putting herself in big danger. Will Barra ever find the light? Will she be okay? There are absolutely gorgeous pictures throughout the book.I really enjoyed this story. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review and all opinions are mine.

I want to win this prize because the book sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I'm glad the excerpt, review, and artwork grabbed you :-P .
DeleteWhy do I want to win you ask? Well, first let me say I am a avid reader, I love many Genre's and am always on the hunt for the next best book I have ever read. I want to sink my brain deep into a book, and get lost. I do not buy paper backs any more, but love to collect them, and read them, feel them, miss them, and smell them. Ok ya that may make me sound creepy, but i love the feel of a paper back in my hands, I use a kindle because it is easy and always have a book library with me, but I love a paper back, and I would love to have this one, and love it too. thank you for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteThat's creepy? Uh, I guess we're monsters then :-P . Good luck in the contest!
DeleteI would like to read this great book anyway, so to obtain a signed hardback copy of Sunborn Rising with a musical soundtrack with the signed CD would be an honor.
