This is amazing. I will once again indulge my fantasy and imagination, stepping into a world where dreams come true --- literally --- for the character of the book. Won't it be wonderful to find yourself inside a dream which stays, and not fizzle, even during the waking hours, then live into your lifetime? This is just wonderful. I could be a child again where I could commune with elves, dragons, princesses, especially princesses, (lol) and other creatures of the imagination. Read the book, don't just take my word for it. Lastly, thanks for your review.

It's so inspiring to see your love for this novel! I think this is a pretty cool back -- it's so neat how the main character develops by venturing into her own world of art :)

What a fantastical, well-written review! It brings the story to life in its own way, and after seeing how much you enjoyed it, it makes me want to read the story myself. Thank you!

Such fantasy. Having such privilege of bringing your paintings to life, your imagination to life. Travel to worlds you create but still there are twist and turns to this that's why you said the "multiplicity of perspectives is part of the beauty of art" I guess - so true! . At this point, I know it's going to be suspense packed and a very intriguing read. Lovely review ! I want to read the "World of Ato".

Great review! It was very kind of you to take the time to proofread it for the author. I enjoyed the sample I read. The description of her "Island in the sky" dream was magnificent. Thanks again for the detailed review!

Thank you for your lovely review :) I wasn't too sure about this book from the description, but after reading your review I'll definitely give it a try. I'm interested to see how Atos art works into the story.

The combination of an artist who brings her paintings to life and a dragon is irresistible. Will definitely add this book to my shelves. Thank you for the review.

This sounds like a good sci fi book for younger readers. Yet it may be a fun little adventure to read along too.

Ato's story and the plot line withing this book seems to be very interesting. The concept of the dragon and her art is all very interesting as well

I love children's and YA novels that have multiple layers which can be enjoyed by older readers too! As an artist and a big fan of fantasy, I also can't help but think this book is tailored just for me. Thank you for the wonderful review, I will most definitely be checking this out!

It seems the author did a great job of creating a fascinating fantasy novel with an intriguing plot and well-portrayed characters! It revolves around the themes of art, magic, and friendship. Furthermore, the author's versatile writing style makes the story more entertaining. I am glad you really enjoyed the book even though you found a few typos and minor mistakes. As I am not a fan of fantasy books, I will pass on this one. However, I am sure fans of young adult fantasy books will enjoy it. Thank you for the detailed review! :tiphat:

Thank you for the review. While this novel seems to be more than just a fantasy story for young adults around their analysis of human condition and contemporary society, I do not think the artsy tone is for me.
