What if we’re never really in control of what will happen in our lives? What if someone’s out there, writing his literary dream and you stumbled upon him in the streets, you caught his attention and he decided to put you in his work, combining a hundred words about you, what will happen to you, what you’ll have to become and then what he wrote will soon materialize into reality just because he has the power to do so, to turn fiction into nonfiction, these are just a few of the many questions that I asked myself while reading Adi Alsaid’s debut novel, Somewhere Over The Sun. I don’t want to go over the plot of the book, cause I want you to discover it for yourself and it’ll be a rewarding experience. So I’ll just do my thing, to point out the little things that you’ll like about this novel. Somewhere Over The Sun’s a breath of fresh air in the fiction world. It celebrates the true power of imagination with an amazing closer look to the small things beyond the protagonists of the story, which I think, is kind of unique and often left out on the previous books that I’ve read. Alsaid introduced us to a whole new perspective of sex, specifically in the eyes of the dress and shirt you wore before you do the thing. He also expounded on the reason why our keys need keychains and a handful of other literary wonders, which I think, Alsaid brought to the literary table for other writers to emulate. On a similar vein, I’ve never read a book that’s beautifully and perfectly written like Somewhere Over The Sun. I was constantly grinning intellectually all throughout the book because I never imagined that such combination of words could describe a certain situation or what this or that character is feeling. A work of a born-writer! In the end, Somewhere Over The Sun will leave us astounded by the true power of our imaginations, that, whatever it is that’s holding us back to write, we just have to lay it all down and do the thing that makes us happy, that indeed, we never have to stop turning fiction into reality, because, for some people, it’s the only hope that they can see in this too-cruel-this-could-be-fiction world. A novel of substance, will never tire you out and will break your heart when you flip the last page. P.S. Adi, I’m very thankful that you sent a copy of your book to me. I will forever acknowledge you, and forever recommend this book to everybody because of that. But you still owe me one, I need your autograph, don’t forget! Again, thank you.

For quite a while I thought there was something special about long-time favorite books. Something like a block or a mental brick wall that kept me from being able to put words on a page and describe how I loved that story, and how much the reading and re-reading of it changed me. Well, there IS a special magic surrounding old, favorite and familiar tales, but I’ve worked myself around to being able to write about them (a bit). Robin McKinley is one of my most favorite authors, and her adult fantasy (paranormal? urban fantasy?) Sunshine is one of her best books. The other day I needed sunshine in my life, and I picked it up off the shelf for an extremely well-timed re-read. Sunshine is a young, perfectly ordinary (she thinks!) girl with a loving, messy, normal family. The only thing is, her world is full of the Others, including demons, Weres, and the Darkest Others, vampires. But you can get through life pretty well as long as you avoid the dangerous parts of town and have a modicum of good sense and luck. At least, that’s how it should be. It turns out that Sunshine’s life won’t be so simple after she decides to drive out to the lake one summer night. My friends know about my thing for zombies, but I usually protest that I don’t read about vampires. This is the book that proves me a hypocrite. It’s not that these are seductive vampires. No, they are the utterly alien, terror-in-the-night kind. But as Sunshine discovers, her destiny lies in a gray area, and she won’t get to pick the cut-and-dried human ‘side.’ She’ll have to live with impossibilities. The story that takes her on that journey is fascinating and (as I said) an all-time favorite. McKinley has created an entire world with unnamed Wars in recent history, a vampire menace, partblood discrimination, and a friendly coffee shop at its center. However, the story’s focus is Sunshine, and her first-person narration is what makes the book work. She’s self-deprecating, funny, afraid, and wants to cling to the normality she knows. At the same time, she finds that unnameable courage and strength needed to face evil, to keep on living, and to choose the right thing, even when it all seems bleak. She’s no perfect heroine, and that, I think, is one of the reasons why readers will fall in love with her. The thing that resonated most with me this re-read was the juxtaposition of Sunshine’s primal urge to make food and feed it to people (a metaphor for creation and nurture), and her mission/calling to do what she can to destroy evil (killing, getting her hands dirty). Sunshine also grapples with the questions of how to be a good person while doing something that she fundamentally disagrees with, how to keep the balance of light and dark in her life, and if there is such a thing as a visible taint of evil. I find that the best books will speak different messages to you at different points in time. I felt very adult this time ‘round, reading Sunshine. It was… interesting. In any case, it’s still a wonderful, immediate, funny, dark sort of pleasure, and I’m sure it’ll remain on the favorites shelf for years to come. Recommended for: anyone interested in paranormal and urban fantasy, fans of Emma Bull, Neil Gaiman and Sharon Shinn, and those who appreciate the full immersion experience in a character and fantastical world.
