This was an interesting read, different premise. The downside is that I'm still not entirely sure of what was going on. There wasn't a lot of world building or explanation of what the fields are or were. Just that people came out of them when they found them and somehow they were unharmed. If I had a better understanding, I would rate it higher. Otherwise, it was actually interesting and kept moving.

What I Did Like:
-The concept. Original and fresh, the idea of pulling bodies out of the mud hits right in that first chapter and gets you hooked. There’s complexities here that are left to the imagination, but it’s a cool concept.
-Mukisa. We already know I like the characters who are hard-headed and strong, so she was a favorite pretty quickly. I liked her focus and dedication. I liked her attitude. Really, I just liked her.
-Relationships take the focus. It’s interesting to see that all kinds of relationships ruled this fantasy story that could’ve easily been dominated by the fantasy elements. Mother-daughter, Husband-wife, Father-daughter, Newly engaged couple, friends … These relationships really form this story. There’s a lesson in there and you know I love my lessons!
Who Should Read This One:
-If you’re a fan of stories that continue to get deeper as you read, you’ll enjoy this one. It gave me Village vibes in that way.
-If you like stories that don’t give you all the answers and leave you something to ponder and think about, you may like this one!
My Rating: 3 Stars. This is a good fantasy story for the right reader.
