From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction story about a girl who has the ability to bring what she paints to life. While it is written for young adults, it is worth a second look. Well done.

I’m typically not interested in fantasy genre, but after reading this review I’m going to give it a shot. This review is great!

The book cover caught my attention first. I always like to read fantasy stories, and I think, write a fantasy story is harder than any other story.
The World of Ato by Patrick Borosky is a fantasy series. I liked when Ato went to that adventurous and magical journey. I like to review the book.

A story about a girl who makes art that could come to live sounds really cool! Love that there are complex characters. Great review.

I love the idea that Ato can create fictional worlds to visit just with her drawings alone. I think this is a lot of good subject material to work with, and this book would appeal to many young readers. Thanks!

Young adult was the first thing that came to mind as I read your review. Even if a young adult read the book, they may miss much of the deeper meanings you were able to note. This book sounds like a very interesting reading.

I have to admit that this book sounds wonderful. Ato has a little t of adventures in store as she travels through her paintings, including to Myr. I love that there is something that keeps the adults interested in this fantasy that's easily geared toward a YA audience.

The World of Ato by Patrick Borosky is a #Fantasy #Adventure book for #YoungAdult readers. It includes topics about #Art, #Artist, #Dragon, and #NorseMythology. It follows the adventures of Ato (a 15-year-old girl) and Iro (a little dragon) to the kingdom of Myr.

The mystery behind the story made me wanna pick this book up to read ASAP.

Thanks for the review.

I have to admit that Ato's character is one of the best in the book - complex and never boring. Fantasies are always welcome in my world, and this one is already in my to-read shelf.

A nice review. I must admit. You have even used another novel to compare with this one.

I also take note of the extremely versatile writing style the author has employed in this fantasy book.

By this, you have just made your review to be an outstanding one. Congrats on the review for the book of the day.

What a captivating review for a captivating book!
As I've said before, my romance with fantasy novels was recently rekindled, and I feel that this piece is an excellent book to rekindle it.
I can't wait to go to all the magical places in the paintings and experience things through the eyes of the main character, Ato.

You have written an incredible review. I have only read the sample, but I am already into this book and ready to devour more of it. I am very grateful for your take on how adults will see this book. I have found your statements to be true in my case. I am very excited to get to know about Myr and the characters who live there.
