This young adult fantasy sounds like a very intriguing and engrossing read. I like that it is not only engaging and builds and builds towards something during the read but that this will be fun at any age with the added meanings for the adult readers. Congrats to the author on a fantastic review. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is a young-adult fantasy novel but it also has a deeper meaning for an adult reader. I like that the main character Ato is an artist, who can turn the worlds she dreams about and then paints into reality. This sounds like a very unique story. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your exciting and passionate review.

This was a thorough review of the book. When I read a sample of this book, I though it was directed toward a young audience. Your review gives examples of how this isn’t the case. I look forward to reading this book based on your review.

This fantasy sounds like a fun and creative read. Ato's art can come to life, and she even brings to life a little dragon. Although I don't usually read fantasy, I will give this book a try.

The story of this girl sounds like a beautiful fantasy, and the way this girl brings life to her paintings is quite amazing. Your review beautifully explains the important aspects of this story.

Diving into Ato's dreams through her paintings is an amazing idea itself. The deeper concept is also amazing! I feel this book is powerful. Thanks for a very good review!

What an unusual and fascinating idea for a story! Both the real and fascinating aspects sound interesting, and I like that the author links the story to wider societal concepts. I would love to read more about Ato and her dragon.

Wow. Since when I was young, I always enjoyed reading fantasy books because mostly it takes me beyond the several walls of our small house. Both for young adult and younger adult I think this book promise a promising journey to another world entirely.

What a promising read, this is exactly my style and I am loving it already. It will be even more fulfilling if Iro can also assist Ato in finding her parents. Thanks for the intriguing review.

I’m not much in to fantasy, but it sounds like the author did a great job putting together this story. The opening pages seemed more like they were written for younger people, but often, like you said here, an author will sneak in an adult message as well. Thanks for further insight on this one. Great, detailed review!
