Hello!
Today I publish a post about my #lobook initiative. Here, I share my experience about a book, beginning from the buying and finishing with my personal review. You can read more about lobook, consulting my first Lobook post here on Blurt.
AND NOW, LET'S GO!
This new episode takes a cue from the John Stephens's novel, published with the title The emerald atlas (dated back to 2011 for the native version). The Italian version I read is L'atlante di smeraldo, first publication in Italy dates back to 2011, and curated by Silvia Piraccini. In the image below, you can see a cover picture from which I removed a few parts, trying to avoid possible direct advertisings.
And below, some slices of the inner pages:
I bought the book several months ago, in the paperback format. There are multiple editions with different prices, major for the hard-cover version and minor for the softcover one. The first price I found surfing the web here in Italy is €9.00, and reaches €18.60. For the Italian translation, you can also find a book containing the 3 volumes that make up the trilogy (paperback format) for €16.90. For individual books, there is a version in e-book format, although I don't know how many languages it's available in.
TURNING PAGES
Three children grow up orphans, thrown between one orphanage and another. But until one day many years ago, they weren't orphans: they were taken away to escape by some fearsome creatures aware of their fate. A road they take with the discovery of a parallel world, thanks to the power of a book steeped in magic. Yet that world is not a parallel planet, but their same world, only in a different era...
I have already revealed too much about the plot of this book, the first of a trilogy known as "The books of the Beginning". Pleasant, although it must be said: the book is suitable for children. For those who have experience with it: of an age a little older than that of young children, a little less than that of Harry Potter. The novel uses a simpler vocabulary than typical adult novels, but perhaps that makes it easier to follow. The environments are simple and easily imaginable. The characters and their ways are one of the parts that most identify the work as a fantasy book for children. That said, I liked it.

PERSONAL RATING
For my personal rating of the book, I usually use two votes: a GENERAL VOTE, based on a more objective approach to the text (where I consider for example the author's way of writing, the plot, any errors found, etc), and an INVOLVEMENT VOTE, based instead on the effect that reading had on me (if it attracted me, if it intrigued and tempted me, if it gave me useful information, etc.). Each of the two ratings is marked with a number of stars, from one to 5.
In the case of L'atlante di smeraldo, my personal response is:
GENERAL Vote: 4/5
INVOLVEMENT Vote: 4/5

A greeting and to the next book!
