Reseña del libro "Awakening Worlds (en Inglés)"
Awakening Worlds is an eco-fantasy about the perils of human supremacy and the destiny of planet Earth.Venus (a.k.a. Roselyn), sister of the unborn Earth, is sent to the human world by her mother, the Universe, to protect a child in possession of the new spirit of Earth. If all goes to plan, she will save her sister. But she must save her before humankind destroys her!When Roselyn, daughter of the universe, learns humanity's growing disregard for Earth's health is putting her mother's life in danger, she volunteers to nurture a new spirit in preparation for the birth.Roselyn arrives in the body of a magical bird, fresh from the world of ancient sunlight in 1784, and she soon discerns that human life is dispensable if she is to succeed in fulfilling the prophecy of the next world."This fantasy novel simply blew me away! Well-written, with lyrical prose reminiscent of Dylan Thomas, it tells the story of a race to save the Earth from dying. The green message is not in the least preachy, though: it's wrapped up in a fable where the Universe sends the Earth's spiritual sister, Roselyn, to guide the one woman who can save the planet. As well as the sheer delight of the description of Roselyn's journey, there are humorous moments as Roselyn has to disguise herself as a man to achieve her aims. Tense, fantastical and spiritual, the story feels like a big warm hug. And we'd all like one of those, right?""Hugely imaginative and thought-provoking debut novel from J.C. Thomas. Thomas navigates the landscape of this high concept novel with deftness and ease, which is a triumph for a book that explores the perils of climate change, and the importance of respecting our place in the universe by keeping rhythm with Earth, not fighting against her music.""A very clever and exquisitely written story, "Awakening Worlds" is a modern climate change fairytale. Roselyn, the spirit of Venus, is tasked with saving the Earth from the ravages of Man. As oil slicks pollute the oceans and cities gobble up green fields, Roselyn is in a race against time to find the Earth's spirit and help the planet survive. If Roselyn fails, the Earth and all humans will die."
