Over at Kirkus: Hidden Magical Worlds

Posted on August 29, 2014

It’s Friday, which means we’re over at Kirkus! Today it’s Thea’s turn to take over, with a list…

Child of a Hidden Sea

Inspired by the very fun Child of A Hidden Sea by A.M. Dellamonica (which Thea will review here next week), here’s a list of some similar parallel/hidden magical worlds. Go fort and check out the list here!

Thea James is one half of the maniacal duo behind The Book Smugglers. She is Filipina-American, but grew up in Hawaii, Indonesia, and Japan. A full-time book nerd who works in publishing for her day job, Thea currently resides in Astoria, Queens with her partner and rambunctious cat.

    I can’t comment over at Kirkus (no Facebook) but there’s also the really outstanding kids “O” trilogy by NZ author Maurice Gee (Halfmen of O, Priests of Ferris, Motherstone). I came across them first as a kid, and the twist in the last book was the first time I was absolutely astonished in my reading.

    Good list! There’s one I’d like to add, though I’m not sure it counts: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. It’s more like two extra magical worlds parallel with our own, and magic bleeding from those to ours, but there’s still plenty of hidden magic in the human world.

    Ooops, I should have probably linked to Sasharia en Garde here, too, not just on the proper review ^^
