LitPick Review
A pale girl is lost underground. She does not know who she
is or how she got where she is, just that the torturous
pain behind her ear forbids her from learning anything
about her. She then meets the last of the Ancient Ones,
Ravenna, who gives her a blazing sword and a pearl that
contains the knowledge and soul of the world. Ravenna
tells the girl that in order to save the world; she must
give the pearl of the soul of the world to the horrible
Witch. That's the same witch that has brought a terrible
drought upon their fragile world. Join this mysterious
girl as she journeys to the Witch's Palace and discovers
that sometimes, you must sacrifice all you love for a
greater cause.
Opinion:
The Pearl of the Soul of the World was an okay book. If
you'd like to read it, just make sure you read the first
two books in the Darkangel series, or you'll feel just as
lost as the girl in the beginning. At some parts, there
was a little too much detail that made you want to skip
ahead a few paragraphs, and sometimes there wasn't enough.
Sadly, the ending was a cliffhanger, and it left me
wishing that this was not the last book in the trilogy! So
much was left unsaid and explained. The author's style,
however, was beautiful and made up for everything the book
lacked. You felt the same pain, sacrifice, and love that
the pale girl felt. A great lesson awaits anyone who reads
it. I'd recommend The Pearl of the Soul of the World to
anyone who likes foreign, magical worlds and fantasy.
