I love Viral Roger's novel. Her style of playing with words is amazing. This book reads about William Wood, his struggle and journey towards strange land. This is a fiction book but for me it’s not just those imaginary events and people. In fact, the story speaks about the strength of good over evil; I mean, no matter how strong the evil activities can be, if we are strong at heart and mind, we can win any battle. WHAT I LIKE IN THIS BOOK!!! Of course the name of the characters, the easy-going story telling style and some of those stuffs which touched by heart. Like, in one of chapter, I found Theodore so much connected with the nature. The character talks with animals and plants around. He can feel them, understand their gestures. Can you imagine, he whispers with flowers, tells them to grow strong, and those tiny plants seems to nod their leafy parts, like they have agreed to what Theodore said. Even more, this man experiments with dewdrops and consider each one like a precious gem which can do magic to mankind. I felt the description of his hut and places around is so vivid and gripping. I wish I could escape myself from this cacophony and visit his heavenly place. I would have taken a serene dip in the crystal-clear lagoon, recline amidst the colorful flowers grown just in front of his shelter. But what were those magic grains which he sprinkled and multi-colored mysterious stars appeared all over his hut?? I guess, we will uncover in next book of the series!!
