Guiada por uma pedra falante, através de sete tarefas impostas em troca do que deseja, a garota de olhos heterocromáticos conhecerá as criaturas mais fantásticas e perigosas, visitará lugares inóspitos e desvendará respostas inquietantes para perguntas cruciais. A cada tarefa, mais Anamélia se afastará do mundo em que vive e caminhará para um que pode não ser aquele que deseja ir.

Comparável às doces histórias do Mágico de Oz, este livreto fantasioso, delicado, cruel e melancólico peca apenas pelo seu tamanho; muito curto para o universo proposto. Deixa um gosto grande de quero mais. Contudo, de que modo isso poderia ser uma crítica negativa? É apenas um pedido: mais - MAIS - histórias deste mundo, por favor!
Para você que adora se envolver com mundos que apenas podemos imaginar, este livro é mais que ideal.

This book introduces you to Anamelia, orphaned young - now trying to realise her dreams at all cost.
With Anamelia, Alec Silva has created a bizarre fantasy story. It is an unusual and quite compelling read, drawing you into the world of Anamelia, watching her activities to fulfil her dreams. As stated in the book's subtitle, Anamelia is to die eventually; it is a book about death, inspired by the works of Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro - without copying them. Alec Silva paints a clear and somehow disturbing picture of Anamelia’s mind while the story evolves. Anamelia is of sufficient depth, this also applies to the other characters - depending on their relevance. The story has a fairytale character and a good flow.
This is a book for you if you like urban fantasy combined with a streak of horror, and if you like the work of Tim Burton or Guillermo del Toro.

Anamelia is a young girl than always wanted run away, know the world beyond the orphanage walls. She needed visit the fantastic lands than read about, as any reader, like me or you.
However, as few people, Anamelia surrender to her major desire. She's ran away. So, her journey began. Thereafter, we enter in a magic and dark world. The author uses fairy tales elements to mold his distorted and distressing own fairy tale.
Here, Alec travelling in the horror with propriety, but you don't must expect blood splattering and that kind of gore thing. You don't must expect most of the same, like recents hollywood movies. In this journey, right here, the writer dive deeply in the dark rooms of the human psyche.
Anamelia looks like a typical little undefended lady of the infant stories, but was built like a character perfectly human. The orphan with a painfull past and a uncertain future doesn't represent the classic stories' manichaeism. She passes for provations, tests that will origate her to let emerge the better and worse of herself.
The author narrative's is impeccable. Characters, dialogs; the charmed and the bizarre in sintony, showing influence of artists like Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro and Zack Snyder, but keeping a singular personality.
The Anamelia's tasks bring the story to the darkness. Horrorfull creatures, scary places, fears than aflict the most brave of the men. However, the most terrible is the human nature and it tendence to corrupt sefl. The selfishness, bittersweet selfshness.
Each task show a new surprise, and bring us to close de protagonist. And, aprouching to the end, we need, we desire, to know the ending. A endding cruel, surprisely em very inteligent then touch the reader in deep.
