Review by Phelicia Gloria -- Jane Grace: Library of Light
Have you ever thought of the impact of the nuclear weapon that was dropped at Nagasaki and Hiroshima? I guess many families were displaced, people died, the economy of the country was also interfered with. This is what the book Jane Grace: Library of Light by Trace Sonnleitner is all about.
Jane wakes up from a dream, she was dreaming about her parents; she doesn’t know if her parents survived. This is the nightmare Jane faced almost every night after the war that left less than one million survivors on earth. Rubelle is one of the cities where the survivor’s lives and Jane belonged here. Together with Lander (her childhood friend) and Henry, they help the survivors at Rubelle build bridges that were damaged after the war. The unexpected happens when Jane was chosen to represent Rubelle and go to New Atlantis to meet David Trimester, who has a goal of creating a new world for the survivors. They share this goal with Jane. When in Atlantis Jane experience a lot of things that she can’t wait to share with the survivors at Rubelle, more specifically Lander. Did Jane’s parents survive? Did Jane meet Lander and share her experience at Atlantis? Find out.
The 170 paged novel is divided into 42 short chapters, each chapter is a build-up of the other. Sonnleitner uses a variety of styles in her writing, for example, dialogue, poetry, and story within a story.
There are numerous positive characteristics in the book. More specifically, was the style of “a story within a story” where the author brought different stories, especially when Jane and Lander were talking. This broke the monotony when I was reading. The author’s writing style makes the novel easy to read, understand, and become lost in the world that he has created. The book is neither fast nor slow, it is well-paced. Trace also did a wonderful job in character development. They are all unique and practical.
I never met any major dislike in the book. I only met a number of grammatical errors that would make me believe that the book was not professionally edited. Despite the errors, I would say the author did not disappoint.
It’s my pleasure to rate this book 3 out of 4 stars I never gave it full rating due to the grammatical errors I met. I would recommend this book to those individuals who like fiction stories.
