I would first like to thank Rockstar Book Tours for providing me with a copy of Myracles in the Void and having me be a part of the tour! I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the MYRACLES IN THE VOID by Wes Dyson Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!
"He used to say, 'a broken heart breaks all around it. Heal you, heal the world.'"
There once were two children,
a girl and a boy.
One could create,
the other, destroy.
Within every heart lies the power to bond or break.
On an isolated port of floating garbage called Hop, Gaiel Izz and his sister, Lynd, never imagined they’d be able to change anything…
Not their nasty neighbors, not their hungry bellies, and especially not their missing father.
That will change when they discover the power of myracles — magic that either creates or destroys.
As the brother and sister set across Esa to bring their family back together, this power will either unite them or shatter their entire world to pieces.
It will all come down to what truly lies within their hearts…
Create or destroy?

REVIEW
This book immediately reminds me of the movie Waterworld (1995) in the opening chapter. Following Gaiel's quest to have his family to be together again, we are thrust into a world where there is nothing much left. Their homes are made of whatever can be used and transformed into useful items, and those around them are not as trustworthy as you would hope.
Myracles in the Void is a relatively easy read, with world building that is not hard to follow once you have gotten in a few chapters. I do have to say that it does read more middle grade rather than young adult, which I was not expecting but it does not take away from the story if that was the mindset you were in when beginning to read. The sibling dynamic between Gaiel and Lynd is well-established and we are able to see their bond and how they interact with each other just how siblings argue and tease one another.
This is definitely a quick and easy read - you are able to read at a fast pace due to the dialogue that allows the characters to be in constant motion, and I did not find that the writing dragged on, but rather had a solid flow to the plot. You get to see both Lynd and Gaiel's point of views as they are separated from each other and experience their own journeys as they try to find their way back to each other and discover themselves.
It was interesting to see the world development between these characters, as they are on completely different journeys throughout the book. On one hand, we have Gaiel, who is searching for his sister, while continuing the search for his father, and on the other hand we have Lynd, whose memory of her life and family are gone and she learns about her abilities. With magic and adventure, these siblings must first discover something about themselves and make new acquaintances before they can find their way back to each other.
I would recommend this book to fans of Elora the Unknown - you can read my review here - and to those you enjoy more of an adventure genre, as well as books by Rick Riordan. It is definitely suitable for a younger audience as well, where readers as young as twelve should not have any trouble following along.
You can catch up with me and my current reads by friending me on Goodreads and following this blog, my Twitter, and my Instagram in order to stay up-to-date with any reviews, blog tours, and more!
