The
Midnight Land: Part One: The Flight (The Zemnian Trilogy Book 1) by E.P. Clark is
a fantasy novel reminiscent of the classical Russian fairy tales stories. Slava
is the younger sister of the Empress of all of Zem’ and a clairvoyant. This
combination makes Slava both the most and least powerful woman in a world where
woman are the dominant gender. Slava’s personality leads her to seek out more through
escaping the Empress of all of Zem’s kremlin in order to set out on a journey
North to the Midnight Land. Slava is
forced to evade ambushes and bandits as she wrestles with her clairvoyance. Is it a gift or a curse?
The
Midnight Land: Part One: The Flight (The Zemnian Trilogy Book 1) by E.P. Clark
may be a fantasy novel, but to me it seemed more like a novel on self-discovery.
E.P. Clark crafted a new world between the pages of The Midnight Land: Part
One: The Flight (The Zemnian Trilogy Book 1), yet the book seemed to focus more
on Slava’s emotional growth as she grows into a woman during her journey and
begins to understand her clairvoyance.
My favorite parts of The Midnight Land: Part One: The Flight (The
Zemnian Trilogy Book 1) was when Slava would communicate with animals or
spirits. By the end of the Midnight Land: Part One: The Flight (The Zemnian
Trilogy Book 1) by E.P. Clark I was left feeling glad that I had decided to
read E.P. Clark’s novel, yet I felt no great desire to seek out the sequels.
