Review: ORENDA by Ruth Silver @writeawaybliss #Giveaway




ORENDA by Ruth Silver

a Young Adult Fantasy Adventure series

published by Patchwork Press

Orenda


Join forces with a parallel universe.

Dark forces, magical creatures, and the world Lil thought she knew collide when a dream transports her to the strange world of Orenda. Stunned and terrified, Lil comes face to face with her doppelganger, Willow, who possesses the ability to travel between the two worlds. Everything Lil knows logically says that Orenda can't exist, but a small clue may be proof that it was more than an ordinary dream. With the threat of her younger sister in danger, Lil crosses dimensions but it may cost her even more than she bargained for.

A sword wielding girl, the eternal suit, and a parallel universe come together in this action-packed Young Adult fantasy adventure that will keep readers of all ages turning the pages. Orenda is the first novel in the Orenda series.

Excerpt:

Lil stood firm, sword-in-hand, staring at the beast as it flew directly at her. "How do I kill it?" She raised the sword above her head with two hands.

Hudson glanced at her. "With what we taught you. The dragon is no different than a man."

"It has wings and is flying at me. I'd say it's different!"  

My Review:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Lil has this strange dream that she had been transported to a different world, world that mirrored her own but was different in so many ways. In this new other world Lil meets her doppelganger Willow who has the ability to travel between the two worlds. The dream seems so real to Lil but everything that she has been taught tells her that this other world is not real.

But she meets this guy Rawlie who takes her to this other world. Rawlie is Willows boyfriend and he has brought Lil to their world to help him save Willow from this evil lady who has destroyed their world. Lil is not too happy at first about being kidnapped and brought to this other world they call Orenda but she has no choice but to stay until she can get one them to take her home or she can find a way back to her world. But before she can find a way back to her world she finds out that this evil woman has not only taken her doppelganger Willow hostage she has also taken Lil's best friend Bray hostage as well. And Lil will not leave Orenda until she can get Bray back and they can leave together.

Bray and Lil have been best friends for a very long time he just lives across the street from her so they have practically grown up together all their lives. When Lil is taken to Orenda she meets another guy Hudson whom makes her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Lil is not quite sure as to what these feelings are seeing how she has never had a boyfriend before. Hudson has some ahh warm feelings for Lil himself and knows exactly what they are. Hudson thinks that Bray is really Lil's boyfriend and that she is just pretending that he isn't but he finds out soon enough though.
