What if the world holds more dangers—and more wonders—than we have ever known? And what if there is more than one world? From Heather Dixon, author of the acclaimed Entwined, comes a brilliantly conceived adventure that sweeps us from the inner workings of our souls to the far reaches of our imaginations.
Jonathan is perfectly ordinary. But then—as every good adventure begins—the king swoops into port, and Jonathan and his father are enlisted to find the cure to a deadly plague. Jonathan discovers that he's a prodigy at working with a new chemical called fantillium, which creates shared hallucinations—or illusions. And just like that, Jonathan is knocked off his path. Through richly developed parallel worlds, vivid action, a healthy dose of humor, and gorgeous writing, Heather Dixon spins a story that calls to mind The Night Circus and Pixar movies, but is wholly its own.
Why I can't Wait to get it on my Shelf:
Oh my god guys, the cover on this book is just breathtaking! I'm going to be completely honest one of the reasons I was drawn to this book was the cover, also the story sounds really interesting and who doesn't like a good historical fiction. What book are you looking forward to? Leave a comment below, I would love to hear from you!
I've seen this one around a bit and it looks really good! Nice pick. New follower. ;-)
