The Future Nutcracker Prince

2016 Holiday Countdown #10

by M. Garnet

When Cera had given up all hope and found solace in some old Christmas treasures left in a dead friend’s tote, she read the stories and laughed as the bright round balls floated on her damaged ship. Her food was gone, she had very little water and she knew that there was no chance for someone to hear her signal in time.

This was the life she had signed up for as an explorer and she had very little regrets except perhaps of no family, no handsome mate waiting for her return and no small children on a home in a safe place. So in this dark deserted edge of space, she hugged the story of a nutcracker prince and lay dying.

[The TBR Pile *Book review site* · Rating 4 out of 5]

For those of us who love books it is not difficult to imagine how one becomes lost in an enchanting story, taking our minds to other places and times, and distancing ourselves from our troubles. Facing a slow and certain death, Cera's choice to escape into a book is both commendable and heartbreaking. Ironic that reading a crazy book is the very thing that keeps her sane in unthinkable circumstances. But when her air runs low and she begins hallucinating, the Prince becomes a very real hero, saving Cera in more ways than one.

A missed opportunity here. What could have been a sweet story was marred by clumsy writing, ie mispelled and incorrect word usage, run-on sentences, etc. At times I felt as if I was reading something written by a young girl who was learning English as a second language.
