Jupiter Winds Review by My Daughter

I wasn’t the only one impressed with CJ Darlington’s YA Sci-Fi novel, Jupiter Winds. CJ will be visiting my blog in a couple weeks, but in the meantime here’s my 12-year-old daughter’s review of her novel:

Jupiter Winds by CJ Darlington

Jupiter Winds Review by “Midna”

To start, wow–I have a lot to cover.

Jupiter Winds is so amazing on so many levels it’s excruciatingly hard to describe. From the start the book pulls you into the vast world of Grey Alexander and her sister Orinda as they struggle to survive together under the radar of the brutal Mazdaar forces. It seems that all is going alright when Grey finds out that her neighbor, Mrs. March, whom she has know ever since she was a child, has a lot more secrets than it appears. Before she can understand more, she is taken prisoner by an evil woman named General Evangeline Yurkutz of the Mazdaar military. Meanwhile, Orinda, otherwise known as Rin, is still trying to understand what is going on. Amidst her grief of Grey’s uncertain future, Rin is unexpectedly visited by Mrs. March, who tells her many things she’s not sure whether to believe or question.

With characters so lovable you’ll be swept off your feet, C. J. Darlington crafts a classic tale full of action and adventure. Journey through space and prepare to be amazed because you are most assuredly going to be surprised by what wonders you find hidden in the pages of one book. You’ll be awed and astonished by how much work it took to produce such a wonderful book–I know I was!

Through demonstrations of love, faith, and the wonders of our eternal Creator, Jupiter Winds takes you well…to Jupiter and back! All in all, this book gets a one-hundred-twenty satisfactory percent, so be sure to invest your time in a book well worth it.

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal I’m thinking about getting for my car since I’m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, you’ll know I’ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. It’s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulips—my favorite flower—and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so fun—plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover🌷 #silversisters #marriedloveofmylife❤️ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
I’m making two separate things that made me happ I’m making two separate things that made me happy posts this week—the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughter—always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if you’re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these are—I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandson’s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
