Do you eagerly anticipate the next book from an author whose previous work you truly enjoyed? Most of us do. After reading 'Esperanza' by Tommy Tutalo during the pandemic, I fell in love with the story and its subtle life lesson on the transformative power of love and hope. Recently, I delved into his latest creation, 'THE MIME.'
The narrative once again transports us to the enchanting backdrop of Mexico, this time Oaxaca. The tale unfurls with young Florina assisting a voiceless mime in reclaiming his voice stolen by an evil magician.
This journey truly underscores the significance of discovering our own identity in our chaotic world. While this book certainly appeals to younger readers, I personally found immense enjoyment in it. The story unveils Florina's unique voice, propelling her quest to mend a world altered by magic.
It skillfully delves into themes of self-discovery, empowerment, and the transformative potential of our actions. The elements of love, vengeance, and ambition are seamlessly woven into this captivating narrative. I absolutely felt connected with Florina, her feelings and also the other characters that appear one by one. I was fully transported to the magical world and waited for it unfold at each moment bringing in more twists and turns.
I really feel Tommy Tutalo is an underrated author who really sparks bright in the hearts of the readers who do understand the depth of human life. If you have a penchant for fantasy literature, this is an absolute must-read.
