Compendium


Welcome to the tour for Compendium by Alia Luria! This is a sci-fantasy novel that is adult but clean and appropriate for young adult readers. 

                                         My Review 4.5 stars!

This book is best left not to judge by the first chapters. Like all good things the further you go in the story the more it all makes sense. Compedium is not a simple book, but it's not so complex that you won't understand it. It's a Sci-fy meet fantasy and the author has created a world that during the best of days is one I would love to visit. 

Mia is a complex girl struggling with her purpose on top of wanting to be with her father. She is sensitive to the emotions around her and like any girl her age really struggles with finding her sense of purpose and place in the world. 

The mystery adds to the story and leaves you questioning what pieces are hiding and how they will all come together, much is revealed by the end of the book, but it does leave you with an ending that hints there is more story to come. 

I was sent a hard copy of this book for my review, and I have to say that I will be adding it to my treasure section of books! I loved this story and the depth of it, and I sincerely hope there is more to come of Mia's story! 

About the book:

On the heavily forested planet of Lumin, the Network has slept, dormant, for over six hundred cycles. Only a select few remember that it resides beneath the crust of the planet, waiting, and for them, the battle for Lumin’s future has raged in the shadows.

When Mia Jayne’s path crosses with an ancient volume in the Archives of the Order of Vis Firmitas, this ancient battle moves from the shadows into the light. Compendium opens up a world of knowledge, and, for the first time since arriving at the Order, Mia has the key to reclaim the freedom she has lost. To do so, she must choose between her conscience and her heart. Conceived against an ailing world of fantastical beauty where long-lost technology tips the balance between extinction and survival, Mia must remember that there is always a choice, and that makes all the difference.

  3. Now, that's a tough choice Mia has to make to choose conscience or the heart? Either one has consequences...

    Sounds like a great book, thanks for the opportunity!
