Quick and
easy to read, this story is full of that youthful exuberance, almost silly in a
way. I still don't quite understand how the world suddenly came to an end. Apparently,
it was being swallowed up by this "blackness," like the blob. Where
did that come from?
Alone, in an
empty world, Lyric had only one thing left: her violin. Then a strange cast of
characters show up out of nowhere telling her that she is "the
unknown," an alien in their world. Okay, so the aliens took over Earth,
right? This whole new world just seemed cosmic and surreal, giving the reader a
small claim of muddled doubt. And all these "councillors" don't make
things any clearer. So what's the deal here? Is Lyric supposed to save their
world to get back to hers? And what's up with all these tests? And was she
supposed to combat the obstacles with "the music of her heart?" Well,
in any sense, I would say that they did pick the right candidate then as Lyric
is a bright and courageous kid. I think most children would be able to relate
to her in some way.
Enriched
with a language so simple and clean, this is an okay kid's story, best suited
for those who like bogus adventure tales.
My rating: 3 stars
