As soon as I read that it was a cross between X-Men, Narnia and Harry Potter, I knew this would easily become one of my favourites which it has. In all honesty I was so excited to read this book. Will Alex risk her entire world–and maybe even her life–to save Medora?
Only she can save the Medorans, but what if doing so prevents her from ever returning home? She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can’t ignore her fear that something unexpected… something sinister… is looming.Īn unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex’s shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race’s survival. While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora’s boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts.
Desperate to return home, she learns that only a man named Professor Marselle can help her… but he’s missing. With just one step, sixteen-year-old Alexandra Jennings’s world changes– literally.ĭreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities. I love Lynette and I love her writing style and the genre she writes in, it’s definitely right up my alley. I recently went to her Q & A in Dymocks bookshop on George Street, Sydney, which was the first time I’ve seen her again after Supanova, and the way she talks about writing, publishing and the way she deals with the pressure is just so down to earth and really relatable. Lynette is such an amazing, down to earth author. I first met Lynette when I travelled down to Melbourne Supanova (mainly to meet Tyler Hoechlin aka Derek Hales from Teen Wolf). While waiting for that to happen, she creates her own fantasy worlds and enjoys spending time with the characters she meets along the way”. She was devastated when her Hogwarts letter didn’t arrive, but she consoled herself by looking inside every wardrobe she could find, and she’s still determined to find her way to Narnia one day. She has always been an avid reader and most of her childhood was spent lost in daydreams of far-off places and magical worlds.
“Lynette Noni grew up on a farm in outback Australia until she moved to the beautiful Sunshine Coast and swapped her mud-stained boots for sand-splashed flip-flops. I’ll put synopsis of the book below before I begin my review but I thought I’d give a background story on Lynette. Hi everyone! Today I’m going to be doing my first review from a book which I recently read (obviously haha), it’s called Akarnae (pronounced ARE-CAR-NAY) by Lynette Noni.
