"When non-binary seventeen-year-old Seren becomes an ambassador, they're forced to face their greatest fear: magic. By drawing power from rivers and lakes, Seren is left vulnerable to being controlled by Mother Earth. Seren is desperate to avoid using magic, but a faction of fascist will do anything to start a war between mages and scientist, including killing Seren, the one mage who sees the value of science. Outnumbered and outgunned, Seren must use magic to live long enough to reach negotiations for peace. As they struggle to survive assassination attempts, the sentient planet gets into Seren's head and uses Seren to give humanity a warning: maintain peace or face extinction. Shutting out Mother Earth could be the end of all humans. Letting Her in would mean becoming Mother Earth's puppet, killing anyone opposed to Her. Seren must negotiate peace between mages and scientists, before Mother Earth drowns them all"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

What seems at first sight to be a very black and white novel, surprises with its grey color. No party is totally right and even the purest character can have sometimes very limited vision. Sara Codair delivers a strong message of unity and understanding, as the key for the characters to survive is to be open minded and learn to work together, as Mother Earth threatens to destroy Humanity once and for all.
This novel is beautiful and poetic. Mother Earth is a sentient being that cares for her children. Humans communicate with Elementals, spiritual beings that allow Mages to use their powers. But magic comes at a price, as the spirits can also control the humans if they wish. It is by the way the strongest fear of Seren. The novel is LGBT friendly. The main characters are queer and grew up in a place where their difference is recognized and accepted. But as they travel to meet the other parties, they meet very homophobic and transphobic inhabitants.
Earth Reclaimed is a very interesting young adult novel, full of magic and adventures. I loved how the characters evolve during the story and the message of Understanding, as well as the Ecological the novel shares. ( )
