Lily's Passage was an enjoyable read from start to finish. The characters are all well-rounded and both of the main protagonists have room to grow throughout the story, and they do it quite well.


I am not one for first-person reads but this was easy to follow and to get inside of the characters' heads. My only real critique is the back and forth swapping of chapters into the other protagonist's perspective. I would have enjoyed a few chapters for one character and then a change to the other. It wouldn't feel as choppy to me, but overall the story is solid; this is just my preference for multiple P.o.V.s


I would recommend this read from a newer author, and pick up the hard cover if you can!

I also liked the themes that incorporated life and emotions. Every chapter made me want to keep reading; it was not easy to put down. I can’t wait for the next one!

I was captivated from the beginning! I like the way the characters were revealed to each other and to the reader as their journey progressed. Clean writing style and compelling storyline.

Draws you in quickly, giving you clues as you go to the questions you are already asking yourself, drawing you in further. Uniquely written, rich with description and internal struggles of the characters world and inhabitants who are interestingly revealed. Intrigue at every turn.
