The Alchemist's Daughter

Overall Rating: 5/5

What frightened her the most were the monsters living in her head....

Short, but nothing less than utterly fantastical.

Tamara Price has made a beautifully complex, expertly crafted world full of possibilities, full of possible stories, and breathing a beautiful source of new life into the genre of young-adult fantasy. Welcome to the mythical world of Tellus.

Pax Silva awaits her Ortus day, the day where she will discover her true capabilities, her powers. At the same time, she is shunned by her village because she is too unpredictable, too much of a liability... her mood too wild and uncontrollable.... As such, Pax longs for a life of adventure outside of her home, to know what the world is like without the harsh judgements of her fellow villagers.... to experience freedom and the beauty of the world in her own eyes,

Until her village is attacked, and her Alchemist mother and father are taken... Pax and her friends set off on a journey of epic proportion filled with friendship, unexpected twists, and discovering oneself...

Tamara will leave you with a story that will be in the back of your mind lurking until the next book comes... eager for another visit to this amazing world...and I am looking forward to her future releases.
