Nika –
This is the first book in a powerful new fantasy series! Adia Kelbara finally manages to leave her uncle’s house, where she was always misunderstood and mistreated, and join the Academy of Shamans as a kitchen apprentice. Once there she quickly realises that there are no actual shamans at the Academy, just rich kids pretending to hae supernatural powers. When she gets kicked out of the school, Adia decides not to go back to the Swamplands, but follows someone to the Horrorbeyond. That someone just so happens to be the snarky goddess Gini, and all of a sudden Adia finds herself saving the emperor and the whole of the land from Olark. But Adia is more powerful than she seems … A great fantasy read with remarkable characters, which also deals with much bigger topics of white missionaries in Africa, so a definite must-read for anyone aged 9 and up.
