A somewhat different posting today, as I have decided to do a book review for a book named "Yndico is" by Sandra Olajide.
The book came in the mail today, and as soon as I unwrapped it, the radiantly colorful book-cover smiled toward me. It was almost like being greeted by a good friend. We were off to a good start...
The first impression was good, and my urge to start reading were awoken. As I opened the book to the first chapter, I immediately felt the friendliness of the story. Not just because of the words maybe, but there was a good feeling surrounding the book. I could feel the essence of Yndico, the main character in the book, a girl who lives with her father and aunts in a less than perfect home.
Yndico, as so many other young kids these days, is challenged by the world we live in today. Higher guidance are guiding them, but the reality around them does not seem to acknowledge their unique gifts and talents. Yndico, as one of these kids, find herself wrestling with her reality. This is what causes her to embark upon a journey that causes her to leave the space and time we live in here on Earth. She accidentally enters a timeless reality, where the rules of operating works quite a bit different from what she is used to. Luckily she meets a friend, a young girl with the wisdom of an elder, who calls herself Izzy. Together they travel this place called everywhen, and they both embark on the journey of getting Yndico back to where she came from.
It is an intriguing story, and once I started to read it, it was very hard to put down. I was captivated by Yndico and Izzy, and I felt very much a part of them as I read about their journey together.
This is the first book in a series, and the book leaves a lot of room for further storytelling. I was somewhat dissapointed when I found myself at the last page, because it felt like I had just gotten to know two new friends, and now I had to depart from them already. I will read the rest of this series, that is for sure, and for those of you who find the concept of a timeless reality fascinating, I urge you to get a copy of it. If you are like me, you'll love it.
Thank you Sandra for writing such a loving and inspiring book!
