Based on the review I want to read this book. I like that it is a fantasy series. It is cool how Ato can travel through worlds she creates in her art. I also like that she has a dragon as a companion. The magic and adventure definitely make me want to check out the book and see if it is as amazing as the review made it out to be.

Amazing, as a sketch artist myself it's truly wonderful to see your paintings come to life. This read sounds so amazing that I would love to try it out. Thank you for your review!

I have read the sample of this book on Amazon and also the official review. This book is poetry wrapped into a story. Not literal poetry, but the author has such a way with descriptive words and phrases that it feels like it. I don't usually care for fantasy books but, I think I will make an exception with this book. It seems very well written and the story premise seems unusual and intriguing.

Thank you for that very detailed review. The book Ato appears to be a fantasy story about a young girl who is an artist. In her world there is magic and dragons. The review reveals a well written story full of adventure. The author Borosky appears to be a talented and creative writer. I’m glad I read this review because the book cover could be misleading. It appears to be directed at youth but the review states it delves much deeper into human relations. This story sounds very interesting.

I lived the author's writing style and I have a sense that many young adults will get lost in Ato's world as well.

First, I must commend the design of the cover page. It's awesome. Also, the protagonist, Ato, is a great painter. The writer challenges us to take a leap of faith and believe in the impossible. Great review. I will definitely read this book

The cover page is very attractive, especially the girl who has an aura of fantasy. I think reading this book can be a good distraction for someone who needs a break from routine.

The world of Ato sounds like a fun and enchanting read. This book has layers that reveal a change in the main character. I like that Ato is an artist and a seeker. Her friends are engaging and often humorous. I will definitely read this book.

I love that this is not only for young readers but also has some philosophical meanings more suited for adult readers. This would be engaging and would allow for different perspectives. Seems like the author knows how to craft an engaging tale and interlace it with a deeper meaning. Thanks for the detailed review.

At first I thought the rating to be inappropriate because of the few editing errors mentioned, but the reviewer said they helped edit the book. Also I disagree with the idea young adult books can’t be deep and hit on hard topics. If young adults aren’t a good audience for that kind of information who is?
