This is a thorough review by Marina Flisvou from Online Bookclub:
“Flight to Bern Village” by Jaron Osiar is a science fiction book that will hold you in suspense until the end. It is about Ani, who goes on a journey looking for her place on an immense planet called Vastus. Technology has transformed this world into a habitable environment where magical beings and other types of human beings live together. This book is not just about finding a settled place in a wide and always-changing world; it is also about self-discovery and overcoming problems.
The story’s protagonist, Ani, is the character who feels that she doesn’t belong to the current world because she has a dual existence of being part human and part elf. Because of this, her story is very emotional. Ani meets many kinds of creatures throughout the story, including mystical unicorns, and her complicated relationship with her mother, Larissa, is exposed. The dialogues are skillfully written, bringing us more into Ani’s world as she grows, discovers her worth, and learns new things.
The way Ani handles difficulties is one of the most interesting aspects of her journey. She faces several difficulties, particularly in the forest, which force her inner and physical strength to be challenged. Her transformation into a strong person is part of what makes this novel special.
The book is excellent in terms of world-building. Vastus is described wonderfully by the author, showing its beautiful landscape and innovative technology. This location becomes not just the story’s background; it is a key part of it, offering a place where both peace and war can exist together.
The story does, however, contain some flaws. It might sometimes drag because of its many details, and certain character dialogues don’t seem quite natural. However, these little issues don’t overshadow the book’s strengths, which include the characters’ nuance and the way it explores important subjects.
The book’s excellent editing is another feature. There aren’t any mistakes, indicating that it was properly edited. This careful attention to detail allows for a more enjoyable reading experience.
In conclusion, I rate “Flight to Bern Village ” 5 out of 5 stars. It is a beautiful story about finding peace in a complicated world and self-discovery. The book successfully combines a vividly described fictional future with its own growth to create an engaging story. Jaron Osiar wrote an engaging and enjoyable science fiction story about overcoming personal challenges.
