The following text is an attempt at a book review by a girl called Faith Summers. Shall we give her a chance? She’s still getting to grips with the fact that different types of writing have their own conventions and tones. What’s more, it was written with a purple pen that smells strongly of strawberries. It was posted at the Goldleaf Library, with her ID picture hanging.

Book: What is the Meaning of Life? By Svengalf

Hi! So… I’ve read the book about Alacritas and that Lifestream thing, and like… wow, it’s a LOT to take in. But I’ll tell you about it in my own way, OK?
First off: I LOVED the beginning with the dragons. Who’d have thought? Seriously, three colourful ones and a grey one creating the universe through dance??? That’s just fashion. It gives a really magical and grand feeling, as if everything were a living painting. First of all, what about Nyssa weaving mana? It made me reflect on how the manual labour I was forced to do on the farm, like spinning silk threads, was really inferior to the work done in the capital. She took it upon herself to weave the mana that even flows through my being.
It made me want to weave something, although I found in the footnotes that the act of writing can be a way of remembering Nyssa. The ancients, for example, by embedding runes with her name, kept that memory alive.

I’m obsessed with this; I think I’ve found the form of loom that suits me best. A pen and paper.

Now, about Alacritas… She’s like… life itself in a silver dress. I thought that was beautiful. It’s not just ‘life’ in the sense of breathing, but something bigger, like movement, existence, everything happening at the same time. A bit hard to grasp sometimes (I admit), but you can sense it’s something very important. Check this out: Alacritas is the girl wearing the fabric Nyssa made, and the other dragons also worked on the Hues, cuts and fits. (FAB)

The Lifestream??? I was OBSESSED with the idea of the tree. Now… to be honest (because I really want this internship ??): Sometimes the text gets a bit… heavy. Like, lots of explanations in a row, you know? I had to stop and think several times. Maybe breaking it up more or giving simpler examples would help the reader.
But there are things I found really beautiful, like: 

the idea of the soul returning to the cycle made me think that, obviously, the radiance of someone like a chic princess from a sunny kingdom would return, and perhaps one day she could be reincarnated alongside her great love.

Life and Death not being enemies (that’s classy and mature.)

And above all: the idea that simply existing is already something important. 


When I came here, I thought less of my existence, but now I’m going to take even better care of my body and my mind.


Now… Hel ? Look, I didn’t like her (which is good, right? A villain has to be annoying). But I found it chic that she represents despair and corruption; it provides a stark contrast to the beauty of the rest. Who hasn’t had an ugly friend to hang out with to make us feel more beautiful? After doing a quick search, though, I see despair is an important constant in her own right, but I still don’t understand enough to discuss it properly.


On humans… I LOVED this part. Being powerful but also vulnerable… and receiving emotions as a gift??? That’s so sweet. It sort of says: feeling is already a form of protection. That’s truly beautiful. As a Faeborne I wonder how the saying goes for me, for I am even more emotional thanks to Nemea.


And the ending… Such good vibes – “be kind, smile, enjoy life” ?? It might seem simple, but it works.
