Ana is a newsoul. She
is born into a world where every other human body is inhabited by a soul that
has lived thousands of years. Ana’s
community, a town called Heart, does not welcome her into their world. To the rest of the population, Ana, or as
they refer to her: a nosoul, represents fear of the unknown. The timing of her birth coincided with the
disappearance of a beloved soul named Cienna.
The rest of the souls fear her birth means the beginning of a series of
“replacements,” and they hold it against Ana.
Ana ends up spending approximately the first 18 years of her
life in a cottage outside of the village with her abusive and controlling
mother. Her father fled Heart upon her
birth.
Incarnate by Jodi Meadows begins when Ana is ready to leave her mother’s
home to travel back to Heart in search of answers. She wants to know why she was born and to
find her purpose.
Ana’s quest for meaning in her life could easily have turned
into a story simply about her inner personal growth as a newsoul. And that would make for a great story. However, Ana’s journey is much more dynamic
than that. Her story is filled with deception,
attacks by magical creatures called sylphs, falling in love, learning to trust,
music, dragon-slaying, dancing, enemies, and family secrets. And it is all set in an whimsical town
surrounded by stone walls that pulse as if they contain a heartbeat.
Incarnate is the first in a trilogy of books that is sure to
capture your imagination and sweep you away to the magical land of Heart.
When I finished reading its preview and found out that my cousin is in their bookstore I asked her how good is the book, then she said it's perfectly great so I told her to buy the book for me. Then I found this blog, I have a feeling that it's really nice book, I'll read it later, after blogging.
