The Unknown Sun is an interesting YA Fantasy novella that offers solid writing, an easy-to-relate to heroine, an intriguing cast of secondary characters, and plenty of plot twists. The book starts by introducing us to seventeen-year-old Moira, who lost her parents and sisters in several freak accidents. She gets attacked by a strange boy who seems to know way more about her past than she does. Twin brothers Airi and Belamar rescue Moira, and take her to the safety of their own world, Skyfall.Skyfall is dying, and the gods who created the world, are missing. Moira must help the twins find a journal left behind by their mother to find out about the prophecy to save Skyfall.The plot is fast-paced, and I was surprised by the originality and creativity author Cheryl S. Mackey offered throughout the book. I enjoyed seeing the character’s change and develop. Belamar was easily my favorite character of the bunch, but Moira was a close second.I would recommend this book to all fans of YA Fantasy looking for something different and unique. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
