Synopsis: Broken Branches is the first in the supernatural fictional YA series, Silver Lining.
Broken Branches is set in London England, Kensington. It follows Kris through his beautiful and privileged life as everything is ripped from him bit by bit. When he realises that he is left with nothing real in his life, his days become dull and monotone bringing about in him a state of mental autopilot. Deep down he ends up blaming himself for the tragedies that have occurred over the past few years, which doesn’t help his state of mind. A beautiful supernatural miracle helps him to uncover the honesty of not just his actions, but of those around him. When he begins to open up and apply intentions and actions to parts of his life that he used to question, aspects of his world begin to light up and unravel. Magical forces show him the truth about what life is and where happiness truly lays; it reminds him to be thankful for just simply being in the world.
Broken Branches presents grandeur, realism, profound relationships, genuine love, simplicity and opulence. This is sprinkled with airy supernatural quirks that also bring about a humour in the form of classic British sarcasm and vivid colour.

Review: Overall, I liked this book. It was a good story about communication and love. The characters were well developed, the world building was also well done. The book was also well written! I really enjoyed reading this one!

However, I did get a little lost because the book is non-linear. While there are dates and such, it’s a little hard to keep track of.

Verdict: It was a great read!
