About this ebook

The world is blind...then one boy is born with sight.

Nestled in a mountain haven, the remaining people of the world live in a village that is ordinary but strict. A severe peace must be kept severely, as they say. It's all that keeps them from descending into the chaos that claimed the world a hundred years ago.

Led by the Prophet Valdas and his Regents, the villagers work, play, marry, and have families. They gather in ceremony once a year to celebrate their Day of Remembrance. Life is planned, precise, and predictable until the special abilities of eleven-year-old Andrius threaten to undermine it all.

    I really do hate to write bad reviews, I really do, but this book while it had an incredible synopsis and promising world building, fell short. Not in the writing itself, but the storyline. Spoilers ahead: This story ends on such a horribly depressing note, and while I understand some stories are sad, this didn’t make the cut. This 11 year old child is put through events which a lot of times seem like the hes just a glutton for punishment. (The kid can still see, if he sees someone holding a sharp object in front fo him with intent to kill, he can MOVE. Everyone else is blind, hes realized this before. It just seemed like a lot of things that happened could have been easily avoided) If it’s not the murderous adopted mother, it’s some other kind of abuse, they treat him really cruelly in this book. And his adopted father the one person who’s been good to him this entire book ends up getting horribly murdered and traumatizes this kid. There’s no payoff, the evil people stay evil, the kid is abused and treated like dirt and stays in the cult. He’s blinded at the end, and while he regains some sight, there’s no sign of hope anywhere. I don’t understand what the author’s purpose of this was, while showing the cult being bad, it didn’t really do anything about it, I don’t mean that the entire cult needs to crumble, but at least someone could have listened and escaped. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest was one story that had a horrible environment and the main character never made it but ONE person did escape, one person was affected and influenced. In this book there’s no one, the only person who wanted to leave and escape was his father and he got brutally murdered. It was just...very sad book. I didn’t enjoy it even though I do like sad stories. If the author writes a sequel that would be great, it feels like it needs one, but none of the characters were redeemable really except for the little boy. Again I just really, don’t mean to be cruel giving this such a bad rating, but so much fell flat for me and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

    Is it wrong to love a book so much that you want to be a character in it? Well I want to be in this book and explore with Andrius. His strength and special abilities make this book a must to have in your possession. The author is well versed in descriptive words and I easily found myself in the village waiting for the big celebration. The story is so well done it is like light spread across pages with no gaps. It is a story to rejoice in and embrace the gift the author gives us through his story. I needed this book to read because I wanted to escape what was going on around us in the world right now. I wanted a story that would capture a place where I could join in the journey as the story comes to life. Is it possible that the author has reached his pique with this book? I say a big no loudly as I sway to the music that Andrius hears. He is such a special character that it is hard to believe that he only lives in a book. But wait, that isn’t true. His character is alive as he teaches us how important and valuable truth is. I loved reading about Andrius when he was a baby. It sets the stage for a wonderful bonding moment as his father explains how he rescued Andrius. The love between father and son is well displayed by words of encouragement, wisdom and compassion. Their relationship will be tested at times but Andrius honors his father at all times. The brilliance in this story is not what is said but what is not said. Scattered throughout the story are little nuggets that gather in your mind as the story and its meaning become clearer. It will be a story I will remember forever as a turning point for me. I was reminded about hope when you can’t see it and faith when you want to give up. I loved every moment I spent with Andrius as he discovers truth and sees past the darkness. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
