Ayan's Book Review
Kingdom of Secrets
-by Christyne Morrell
Oren seems to be a normal kingdom. Built on a valley, it had a large wall around it, like a city wall. But on the inside, it had more secrets than you could imagine.
Prismena Reece, the balloonist’s daughter, is tinkering with some odds and ends when Abigail Smeade steals her mother’s scarf. The scarf is the only remnant of Prismena’s mother that she has, so she strikes a deal with Abigail: in return for the scarf, she would send a box to Tulera (another kingdom). Sounds simple, but this trade would not leave them unchanged.
The themes in this book include friendship, trust, and family relations. This book uses these themes to amplify the pacing of the story.
The pacing in this book develops quickly from the inciting incident right in the first chapter all the way to the climax and even in the resolution.
I recommend this book as a read-aloud for 8+ and as a reader for 10+.
I give this book 4.8/5 stars as the end had a few unexplained questions. Well, that didn't stop me from enjoying this book, and I really hope there will be a sequel. I absolutely love it and would love to read more books by the author.
Happy reading!
