A Prodigy Masterpiece

A review of The Prodigy Slave, Book One: Journey to Winter Garden by Londyn Skye
“Well, in my mind, yes, I feel free. But on paper, I ain’t no more free than any slave workin’ in a cottonfield at this very moment. Truth be told, whetha’ any of us can play piano or not, I think we all deserve to be freed.” ~Lily Adams
Two innocent children who become unlikely best friends…
One, a blue-eyed white boy named James…
The second, his family’s beautiful, green-eyed slave, Lily, newly bought off the auction block in 1845 Fayetteville, Virginia.
14 years later, James Adams, the youngest son of narcissistic slave master Jesse Adams, returns to his family’s plantation to discover that Lily has secretly become a piano virtuoso, propelling them on a brutal adventure riddled with twists and turns, love and betrayal. What they don’t expect is to discover they are each bearing their respective generational trauma that threatens to destroy them from the inside out. While racist barriers show no sign of lifting, and love confessions remain hidden, allies and foes are revealed, which will cause an onslaught of varying emotions for those readers who dare join this unpredictable, slow-burning, yet mesmerizing journey.
The Prodigy Slave, Book One: Journey to Winter Garden is a beautifully picturesque novel that stunningly captures the music, emotions, colors, and artistry of Londyn Skye’s extraordinary imagination through careful phraseology. Every moment is intricately weaved with stellar attention to enhance the view into the characters’ worlds from both their perspectives and the reader’s, all against the backdrop of the brutal enslavement era. James and Lily’s epic story will take you on a moving and empowering journey that will challenge your personal beliefs and the very foundations that hold them together.
Only due to some grammatical errors and historical facts that need reviewing, this novel is a must-read at 4 out of 5 stars — although Skye’s stellar work of art would otherwise be worthy of a 5-star designation. Even if it did cause a fiery rush of tears, and a desire at times to throw the manual against the nearest wall – this dramatic and emotional response will not wane until Books Two and Three are devoured. For, mark my words, The Prodigy Slave, Book One: Journey to Winter Garden, will shatter your heart and uplift it in the very next breath. So you best buckle up for the most thrilling ride of a lifetime!
