Thank you Hachette for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
A boy awakens in the Afterlife, with a pocketful of vague memories, a key, a raven, and a mysterious Atlas to guide him as he sets out to piece together the mystery of his final moments…
Back on Earth, Twiggy is a street kid with a missing dad. But when he meets Flea, a cheerful pickpocket, the pair become fast friends, better even than blood family itself. Together, Twig and Flea raise themselves on the crime-ridden streets, taking what they need and giving the rest to the even-poorer. Life is good, as long as they have each other. But the all-powerful Boss who rules the streets has other plans.
Loyalty will be tested, and a cruel twist of fate will lead to an act of ultimate betrayal that will tear the friends apart …forever?
Review:
Alright, hold my beer while I tell you about this beauty!!
This book is the perfect blend of fantasy and world hard hitting topics, wrapped up in a delightful tale that is written by an Aussie!!! Shall I go on or is that enough to convince you to go out and buy the book?!?!
Alright so Twiggy wakes up in the Afterlife with no memories or no idea what the hell is going on, but has an Atlas and a raven, so he sets out to find out about the events that led to him being here in the Afterlife. You get a story of betrayal, hardships, faith, loyalty but most importantly you learn that memories are your most important keep-safe.
I adored Frillon’s writing and I am sooo disappointed in myself for not having all of Fraillon’s books! I am letting myself downnnn. Fraillon cuts all the bullshit out, there are no smoke and mirrors and no fluffy bullshit. You dive right into the story and kick off from there and I love this. Set aside time to read this book because it is one that you don’t want to put down once you get started. The Lost Soul Atlas was bloody brilliant!
