Nihal of the Land of the Wind (Chronicles of the Overworld, 1) by Licia TroisiPrint Length: 282 pagesPublisher: Mondadori (May 27, 2014)Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.My Review~I received this book in exchange of a honest review from Netgalley.The cover is interesting enough but when you add the book description it gets the reader intrigued which is what it did to me. I liked the cover, but it is the description that pull me into reading the book. The book Wow in and of itself is amazing.What if what you know isn't the truth? What if you are the only one that looks like you? What if you are plagued with people in your dreams demanding vengeance? Would you be up for the challenge? Are you ELF enough? Female heroine's or warriors are my favorite type of read. I have not read anything from this author or publisher before. They are new to me which is something I love when I can honestly hands down love a new author and am excited and intrigued by a series. There are some things that maybe need to be fixed because I think that a few places are awkward and maybe it was the translation from Italian to English that did it, but overall a fantastic read. The imagery of the scenes depicted in the book is simply awesome, superb, and amazing. I really enjoyed Nihal's character, especially how the author made me feel connected to Nihal and even the other characters. I can't tell you how much I adore dragons and this book fits the bill when there are dragons involved. The author wrote many twists, turns, and loops in this book. It is so hard not to tell spoilers.Amazon Book Description~~An international bestseller from an extraordinary storyteller—get ready for Nihal and her worldNihal lives in one of the many towers of the Land of the Wind.
