That’s about all I can give you without ruining the book, so I suggest stopping now if you haven’t read Akarnae, because the rest of this review is SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS. Akarnae has great world-building, adorable friendships, and a very compelling plot line. So pretty much you are looking at an awesome training school that takes place in a different world. I even see a bit of Divergent in it myself.

This book has aspects from books like Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia. If that little description doesn’t want to make you pick up this awesome book, here’s something else. This world may seem fun at first, but there is only one concern in Alex’s mind: how will she get back to her home? Alex has to learn everything about this new world and try to survive the most insane classes. Thankfully, she is picked up by two guys who take her back to Akarnae, a school for the gifted (gifted meaning blessed with awesome powers). However, her parents are gone for eight months and she did walk through a door to Medora, and now she has to deal with it. If Alex’s parents didn’t have to leave for eight months for a business trip, she would’ve never went to the International Boarding School and walked through a door that took her to another world. For those of you who know nothing about Akarnae, here is my own little summary. Akarnae truly blew me and my expectations away. Thank goodness I won a copy of this book and wanted to get a review on it fast, because who knows when I would’ve picked it up. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 This book makes me as excited as someone who just drank 3 glasses of dillyberry juice.
