This is the author shamelessly writing review for myself🙈
First off, I would like to thank you for having the patience to read this story. As what my idol, J.K. Rowling once said, “No story lives unless someone wants to listen.”, I can’t say how happy I am to see my story finally being heard by someone other than myself and my family.
No matter what you think of this story, crap or not, I would like to briefly share my 6 years experience on creating and publishing this book. (Yes, I have already published it on Amazon and Book Depository)
This novel began as an experiment for me.
I wanted to explore on subjects that seemed to be too dark and gloomy for a young adult/teenage novel; sensitive topics that are rarely touched by people in their daily lives, especially those who are still being influenced by their traditional culture of preventing the discussion of death. For me, the more you avoid talking about “death”, the less you become aware of the real meaning behind it, and thus, the more easily one can jump off that window or slit one’s wrist.
I wanted to blend a lot of things together including different fairy tales, different legends, myths, cultures, people from different race and even different forms of writing, together. Creating an artwork without a frame or a set of rules; and an imaginary world without boundaries and discrimination- was my aim.
I am not going to stop here with my first book. This is a series, a series called The Blessed or Cursed Series and I hope you, my readers, after reading this story, will come on board and join me on this wonderful journey to the Blesser’s world 🗺
