Riassunto

To save her people, she must steal the face of a god. For two hundred years, Jala’s people have survived by raiding the mainland. By shaping the reefs around the Five-and-One Islands into magical ships, they can cross the ocean, take what they want, and disappear. Or so they have always believed. On the night after Jala becomes queen, a tide of magical fog sweeps over the islands, carrying ships form the mainland. Inside are a desperate people, driven half-mad by sorcery and looking for revenge. Now Jala—caught between her family’s unending ambitions, the politics of the islands thrown into turmoil, and her unexpected love for the king—must find a way to save them all if she can. But there are greater powers at work, and the politics of gods are more terrifying than she could have imagined. To save the Five-and-One Islands she may have to leave them behind.

Recensione:

“A fresh island breeze for my imagination. If you'd like a change from the fantasy tropes of your grandparents and/or you're a fan of island lore, Jala's Mask is a worthwhile read.”
—Geeky Godmother

“Mike and Rachel Grinti’s Jala’s Mask takes the coming-of-age fantasy to strange and wonderful new places. The setting is unlike any fantasy world we’ve seen; it is based on African and Polynesian history and folklore, is entirely believable, and is fascinating, fresh, and unique. The result is a story that unfolds at a quickening pace, full of quirky and unexpected turns with a diverse cast of terrific characters who grow and reveal themselves as morally complex creations.”
 
—Clay and Susan Griffith, authors of the Vampire Empire series

When he's not writing or reading, he's probably playing video games and has a day job making them.
