Synopsis:

Fifteen-year-old Nara Dall has never liked secrets. Yet it seems that her life has been filled with them, from the ugly scar on her back to the strange powers she possesses. Her mysterious father refuses to say anything about her origins, and soon, she and her best friend must attend the announcement ceremony, in which youths are tested for a magical gift.

A gifted youth has not been announced in the poor village of Dimmitt for decades. When Nara uncovers the reason, she uses her own powers to make things right. The decision sets her on a path of danger, discovery, and a search for the divine.

REVIEW: Looking for Dei is a YA Fantasy that involves magical gifts and what the consequences are, should things get out of hand. In Nara’s village, gifted youths is a thing of the past. But the mystery surrounds the area, as to why this has become the case. Nara decides that the right thing to do, is use her powers to uncover the mystery. But once events start happening, is her ideas suddenly out of control? It is a visual read, that was action-packed in every chapter. The novel’s strengths for me were the world-building and descriptions of the gifts that the various young people were discovered to have. The last couple of chapters as Nara is about to actively confront a scary nightmare, made the plotline extremely thrilling. I’m intrigued to see where the story goes next, after that cliffhanger! Recommended for those who like their fantasy with lots of magic, action and fast-paced dialogue!
