The writing in this book was a beautiful mix of cultures, legends and adventure that came together in a perfect harmony to create a unique story. I did expect something a little different based off the summary of The Girl From Everywhere but I am equally content with what Heidi has given her readers.

I enjoyed Nix's character, as well as all the other characters that were introduced. Nix is a member on the Temptation, a ship her father uses to travel through time. Yes, time travel. But Nix's father who is obsessed with traveling back to the time before the love of his life died, is unconsciously threatening Nix's existence. A big part of this story was Nix's struggle with Slate. (her father) In his obsession to find the map that will take him back to Nix's mother he has driven himself mad. Naturally failing to be much of a father to Nix. I can understand why she struggled to love her father, and wanted to jump ship as soon as she learned how to navigate a ship herself.

I do enjoy a romance in the books that I read, but I dislike when that is the biggest focus. In the case of The Girl From Everywhere the romance was there but pushed to the back. Kashmir, one of the deck hands on the Temptation and Nix's best friend falls into the role of a love interest from the beginning. There is just something about their encounters. Then there is Mr. Hart a young man who calls the island home. I liked Kashmir a lot better.

Heidi has said that The Girl From Everywhere could be read as a stand alone but there will be a second book that picks up from where Nix's story left off. Overall this story is one that I won't be able to recommend enough!
