#1 New York Times bestseller Maria Dahvana Headley’s soaring sky fantasy Magonia is now in paperback! Since she was a baby, Aza Ray Boyle has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak—to live. So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn’t think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name. Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who’s always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world—and found by another. Magonia. Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power—but as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war between Magonia and Earth is coming. In Aza’s hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity—including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?Rating Epithetical Books Magonia (Magonia #1)

I was so excited to read this book. The concept sounded so good and I knew I needed this book in my life. I was so excited and pumped, I didn't stop to think that I might not like this book as much as I thought I would. I should have calmed down before starting this book because after 50 pages, I felt like I would drown in my disappointment. Right away, the tone of this book caught me off guard. The main character was so snarky and I was not expecting that. At first, I was really on board withThis book was confusing. I really enjoyed the first 100 pages or so, but as soon as "the thing" happens, it all sort of fell apart for me. Those first 100 pages were well paced, witty, fun - but then the story basically changes completely. It dragged, I had a hard time connecting with the new world and new characters, and I'm not sure it all came together for me by the end. It felt like the book didn't have enough time to become what it was trying to be in the second part, and while the middle
I'm dark matter. The universe inside of me is full of something, and science can't even shine a light on it. I feel like I'm mostly made of mysteries. Oh my... Magonia is one hell of a rare novel.Not only does it offer an intriguing blend of reality-infused science fiction and highly-imaginative fantasy, but it is also unlike anything I have ever read before.I've always said that - for me - originality is one of the best and rarest compliments a writer can get. Not "this is the next Hunger
The main character's voice is grating on my nerves. So much that I couldn't even get more than 17 pages into this story. While this has a great cover and premise, I just can't keep reading this twaddle. Perhaps if there was a different POV or something I would be able to enjoy it, but it's like listening to a loud tween try too hard for attention.
Aza, it says, the whistle. Aza, are you out there? It's been a really long time since I've read something so unique. The premise, characters, setting . . . everything was just so refreshing. Aza Ray, your life is so gigantically not what you thought it was going to be. I was warned that Magonia might be a little weird but, strangely, I didn't find it so. Maybe because I was forewarned . . . or maybe I'm the weird one and felt right at home reading Magonia. I'm something else. Something
Link To On The Bookshelves Blog PostYes, Im a reader. Kill me. I could tell you I was raised in the library and the books were my only friends, but I didnt do that, did I? Because I have mercy. Im neither a genius nor a kid destined to become a wizard. Im just me. I read stuff. Books are not my only friends, but were friendly. So there.RATING: 2/5 STARSSince she was born, Aza Ray has struggled to breathe, talk and even just live thanks to her mysterious lung disease. One day she spots a ship
Well, crap. Here I am again, black sheeping my way through a book that everyone and their mom seems to love. I think this is most likely a case of me being the problem as opposed to the book being the problem. I really just didn't get it.There were good parts, don't get me wrong. There was even a time when I was really getting into it! Here's how it went down: The Beginning So, Aza has some mystery illness that no doctor can figure out and that causes her to have breathing issues. That has to be
