Olivia and the gentleman from outer space
Olivia and the gentleman from outer space | Moses Yuriyvich Mikheyev
1 post | 1 read
When six-year-old Olivia finds a glowing treasure map that only she can see, she has no idea what it means. But six years later, when a spaceship lands in the wheat fields behind the farmhouse where she lives with her dad, she discovers she has an important destiny to fulfill. She is the Princess of Blue Earth, and only she can read the map that will lead to the Black Ruby, which has the power to heal anything—including her father’s cancer.
Accompanied by a time traveler boy named Galax, she sets out on a magical and imaginative adventure that will take them to the ethereal beauty of the moon and across the wonders of space in their search for the Black Ruby. But the Black Priests also want the Ruby for nefarious reasons . . . and they’ll do anything to stop Olivia and Galax from taking it.

Olivia meets Galax an alien that has healing powers and takes her on an adventure to find the source of his power to help save him and her father.I liked the premise of the book but the relationship between the two main characters made me feel uncomfortable,hinted more towards romance than friendship and it's not clear how old Galax is,sometimes he feels like an adult,sometimes like a not very clever child.Even if they are the same age ⬇️

nanuska_153 it felt to me somehow more sexualised than it should be, even if nothing explicit happens. In fairness to the author I noted that I'm the first reviewer to have this problem, so it might be a problem with my perception of the relationship. It's obvious that the author is a fan of The Little Prince, but not everyone can be Saint-Exupéry and it just feels full of forced quotable moments.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC
