The Beginning by Ray Star
4.0
Thank You to Sofia at Midas for gifting me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Although this book is a YA Fantasy, it definitely also falls into the dystopian catagory also.
Peridot, the main protagonist, has lived a very sheltered/isolated life in an island with her mother. She knows the world, her world to be like the world we know it to be now. But beyond her island the world is dramatically changed. It is the reverse of what we know now.
Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. Animals are, and they talk! Add to that an elemental magic that Peri cannot control and it makes for a very interesting read.
Peri has the ability to save the world but she must face those who want to keep the world as it is, with humans enslaved.
The book definitely made me think a lot about how humans treat animals and whether this book might make people think about the treatment of animals.
I can wait to see what the next book has in store for us.
