When I first started reading I was a little leery about a female elf walking home contemplating a 3 day journey with new tattoos that hurt. Why would she leave that town? What was so urgent? Then her twin sister finds her in this wilderness. Then they decide tattoo elf needs to get home asap. When we find out the tattoos were something she kept from a twin sister she shares every detail of her life, I'm still reading but I'm gonna give the author one more chapter and BOOM!! A letter from their mom sends them on a wild and wonderful journey that you would not dream about. Their journey has incredible implications on these sisters. But wait..a computer generated reality is right around the corner and you will want to keep on reading and not put the book down. Book 2 should be an even better read.
