From the very first page of "Magnolia in Ilium" by D. L. Jenkinson,
you can't help but be instantly pulled into a tale that
vows to be anything but ordinary. The adventure unfolds in a
realm brimming with vibrant descriptions and whimsically odd twists. Jenkinson's skilled prose
enchants the mind, crafting a fantastical world where surprises are the standard, keeping the
narrative riveting from start to finish. Each flip of the page reveals new wonders, transforming it
into a genuinely immersive journey that sweeps you off your feet!
The star of the show is undoubtedly the main character, a unique protagonist unlike any I've
encountered before. Her evolution is a key feature of the story, as she sets off on a
transformative escapade that will captivate tweens and young adults alike. At first, she's hesitant
to accept her situation, but slowly she uncovers her authentic self and the inner power she
possesses. Throughout her journey, she builds deep friendships that transform her entirely and
assist her in tackling the predicaments of her fantastical world. Every single character she
interacts with along the way elevates the book's brilliance and uniqueness. I won't give away
any spoilers, but the ending is both satisfying and suspenseful; yet, I was disheartened to reach
the conclusion as I wanted the story to continue!
All in all, "Magnolia in Ilium" is a remarkably crafted book that completely wowed me; it’s a
must-read for anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind experience brimming with heart, humour, and a
good dose of magic.- Louise Jane, CEO The Golden Wizard Book Prize
What Publishers' Weekly and Kirkus Review have to say about Magnolia in Ilium:
"Magnolia--she’s empathetic, confident, and impulsive, the perfect protagonist for this wholly original world. And it’s a well-built world at that, one that feels lived in by virtue of its history, lore, and geography." - Publisher's Weekly "
A witty, well-conceived, entertaining fantasy featuring a memorable young heroine and genuine chills." - Kirkus Reviews The full Kirkus Review for Magnolia can be found at https://www.kirkusreviews.com/author/dl-jenkinson/preview/.
