Thank you for stopping by I'm delighted to be sharing my review for Eternal Seas by Lexi Rees as part of the blog tour today. First of all though let's take a look at the description for the book...
Such
a small parcel
shouldn’t
cause experienced
smugglers
much trouble,
but
this parcel is far from normal.
Chased
across the seas, Finn and Aria must solve the
mysteries within the parcel.
What
does it mean? Who should they trust?
What will happen?
The
fate of an ancient people depends on them
and time is running out ...

I was really intrigued when I saw the description for Eternal Seas and was eager to start reading and see where the story took me. The writing is descriptive and easily sets the scene as we follow Finn and Aria on their journey. Even though this story is classed as a children's book I feel that it would appeal to both younger and older readers. It reminded me of some of the adventure stories I read when I was younger, giving me a lovely nostalgic feeling! Along with bringing something new and different that made it so interesting to read.
It didn't take me long at all to get into the story and I was well and truly whisked away on quite an adventure! I have to mention the illustrations dotted throughout, they were great! I thought they were a lovely addition showing the events and the characters at different stages of the story.
The chapters are short and snappy which easily keeps the momentum going along with my full attention on the story. With a fast moving plot that makes for an exciting read I easily finished this book in one go!
Within the pages of Eternal Seas there is plenty of mystery and adventure. All coming together to create a wonderful, exciting and intriguing story!
With thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for my copy.
Lexi Rees spends as much time as possible sailing and horse
riding, both of which she does spectacularly badly. Attempts at writing whilst
horse riding have been disastrous, so Eternal
Seas was written on a boat; the storm described in the book was
frighteningly real.
