The Girl from Everywhere Heidi Heilig Books

An exciting debut, with an epic adventure. Heidi Heilig has created a spellbinding story that has the perfect combination of time travel, magic, mythology, mixed with a dash of fantasy and set in a lush historical setting. The Girl From Everywhere is a fantastically crafted story, that takes readers on unforgettable adventures time traveling through history and modern day with the use of maps.

Sixteen year old Nix has lived aboard her father's ship, The Temptation for most of her life. Traveling through time, and present day with her father, and his small crew, including her best friend Kash. Nix has the ability to magically teleport their ship through the use of maps. Each adventure lands them at a new destination, securing them new maps and provisions they need to continue their travels along the high seas. Nix longs for something more, and with her father's addiction in finding the exclusive map that could forever change her past, their newest adventure could be her last one aboard The Temptation.

Nix's father, Slate, wants to undo the past in order to save the love of his life, Nix's mom. Not taking to heart that this may result in disastrous consequences, The Temptation arrives in 1868 Honolulu to save her life. This task won't be an easy one, and it puts Nix's very existence at risk. While her father plots to secure the elusive map they need, Nix comes up with her own plan to secure a way for to rid her life on board The Temptation once and for all.

I enjoyed getting to know the multicultural cast of unforgettable characters. I loved watching what transpired between Nix and Kash, as their relationship slowly developed from something more than just being best friends. I loved the way the elements of love, loss, obsession, free will, and destiny drove this story, and the characters to make the decisions they did. I loved this story's writing, and how easy it was for me to feel like I was apart of this story. Above all, I loved the history, and the unforgettable adventure this story took me on.

Heilig immerses her readers into a setting so vividly detailed, you feel like you've been transported back into time. From modern day New York City, to 19th century Hawaii, to sailing the high seas of the 18th century, the imagery for this story's setting is easy conjured, and makes you feel as though you're aboard the Temptation. With it's rich mythology, and the element of magic and fantasy at it's helm, this debut is an addicting one. I look forward to what's to come in the sequel! I definitely recommend picking up this unforgettable read.

The Girl from Everywhere Heidi Heilig Books Reviews

BOOK SLUMPS ARE HARD.

I went back and forth so many times on this one, and it took me three days to read it! But, I suppose that is why I put my blog on hiatus, so I wouldn’t have to rush, right? Forgive me for these off reviews, I’m clearly not myself right now. Still, for the sake of consistency, I want you know what I’ve read and what I thought while I read them. My brain won’t let me do otherwise. Just take these with a grain of salt, k? I’ll let you know once I catch up to myself when all this is said and done.

The @KeepItDiverse book club chose The Girl From Everywhere for their October read. Can I first of all just say that I love living in a small town because I’m able to get book club reads right away now? No more waiting two months for popular books. Woot!

Anyway, this was a bit of a slow starter, but it may have been because I was a bit hesitant. It reminded me straight off of Passenger by Alexandra Bracken, which I could not get into, and I was afraid this was going to be the same way. I gradually started falling into the story and it picked up speed. I like the idea of popping in and out of history, seeing different events happen.

There’s a love triangle here that is very confusing. It never really resolves itself. Which, on one hand, allows you to ship (pun intended) any way you like. But it is frustrating because there are so many unresolved feelings! Perhaps it’s building up to a sequel?

Another plot hole that really bothered me was the dragon. She got this dragon from her aunt at the beginning of the book–it eats pearls and has to live in salt water. Special mention was given to the bucket it lives in it can’t rust, had to have a handle so she could throw it over the side and be refreshed occasionally. And then the dragon disappears for most of the book. The bucket makes a short appearance later, but it just really doesn’t play much of a role, and seemed like a big detail that meant nothing. Maybe I missed something but it seemed odd to me.

Overall, the book was entertaining. There were lots of details about Hawaiian culture–where the author is from. The jokes about those damn Victorians made me laugh. It wasn’t my favorite book ever, but right now, I don’t think anything is my favorite thing ever, so if you like time travel, don’t count this one out.
