Becoming Calder, by Mia Sheridan
5.0
5 Butterscotch Stars...!!!
It had been a while since I read a Mia Sheridan book. I picked up Becoming Calder because I wanted a story with a soul. And boy did I get one.!
Becoming Calder was so different from the earlier book by the author that I had to check whether it was actually from her. It was set in a world so different and wrong that my mind was rebelling to read any further. Acadia actually scared me a little. I was in terror that do such worlds actually exist? It was a difficult pill to swallow. I think that might actually be the intention of the author.
Anyway, I waded through and completed the story and all I found in the end was beauty, pure unadulterated beauty. How Eden and Calder find each other in a land of no hope and built a fortress of hope is written and depicted so magically that it actually shifts something inside you.
They were two anomalies in a land rotten and they flourish nonetheless into two beautiful people. Their love for each other forms their strength and their weakness. Their love guides them out of hell and gives them a chance at living free.
I loved the way they were entwined together. Like the clouds and the river. Both couldn't exist without each other. They were the substantial for each others existence.
All in all this book just proves that when you read a Mia Sheridan story be ready to be emotionally invested in it. It will drive your soul. I still could shed a tear or two remembering the end which was soul wrenching.
I'm gonna read Finding Eden now and hope you all pick up Becoming Calder because it is one of a kind!!
