Something is not right in the peaceful community of Taliver, and Daia knows it. But there's more at stake than she realizes.
An enjoyable quick read. A suspenseful young adult dystopian novella filled with plot twists and cliff-hangers that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Taliver is a peaceful community. After rigorous training and relentless hard work under the studious mentorship of Taliver's Seer, Daia is entering a new stage in her life and preparing for her induction ceremony as Taliver's new Commander of the Forces.
Just days before her ceremony, Daia discovers dark secrets in Taliver's past, and the Ruler begins to make strange, questionable decisions that leave Daia suspicious and concerned for her people. Daia bravely takes matters into her own hands as the soon-to-be Commander and seeks answers for herself.
However, she suddenly finds herself caught in a web of lies and deceit that runs deeper than she could ever have imagined. Little does she know, an even greater challenge awaits her. Struggling to distinguish truth from lie, Daia is forced to face an ultimate test that no amount of training could have prepared her for.
Featuring a strong sense of empowering individualism, personal growth, and determination, The Blizzard's Secrets is an enthralling page-turner filled with earth-shattering discoveries that will keep you engaged from start to finish. It is a wonderful quick read for fans of false utopias, pursuits of justice, plot twists, and strong protagonists.
The Blizzard’s Secrets by DJanee has a civilization living up near snow that only certain people can survive in.
Can Daia protect her people?
Daia has sacrificed a lot of her time to become the next Commander of the Forces for Taliver’s safety. The Seer chose her to do this, and it was decided that she would become the next Commander. Daia stepped into the lion’s den of trickery, yet she found out much more than she had hoped. She is a great character, and it definitely shows that her training was excellent because of what she can do. Except what will she do to help her people?
Taliver is in a little pocket of fresh air that is sunny, green, and warm. The Tundra is nothing like that, and it is always snowing out there in the form of a blizzard. Also, only certain members of their civilization can survive out in the Tundra, and the others cannot. Daia is lucky she survived going into the Tundra the first time.
Four Stars for The Blizzard’s Secrets
My rating for The Blizzard’s Secrets by DJanee is four stars. DJanee has left me wanting more from this story, and to have this satisfied, perhaps it could have been a longer book. I loved everything about it but thought we could’ve seen more. I’m also still recommending it since it is a fantastic book.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Blizzard’s Secrets by DJanee.
