Trial by Fire is a fantasy/sci-fi book written by Josephine Angelini. It came out recently and is the first book of a series/trilogy. This book is set in this time period and follows the main character- Lily Proctor. Lily is the girl with many allergies, sensitive to everything. Her severe allergies keep her from many things, from parties to friends. With her crazy mother that embarrasses her and her sister, Juliet, it’s a hard life. When her best friend becomes her boyfriend and she’s invited to a big party which she decides to go to, things start to turn up. But when she goes to the party and things start going downhill, she finds herself fed up with herself and her life. Remember when people say ‘be careful of what you wish for’? This is why. Lily gets transported to a different dimension where she meets a different version of herself, Lillian. Lillian is a powerful woman in this dimension and has a lot of influences. She is the rule. But she’s sick. Deathly sick. She needs Lily to take her place. Lily in this strange world that is nothing like hers, will have to deal with people that hate her so much they want to kill her, magic, and trying to find her way back to her own world. But after learning why the people despise her, what they fight for, and a new budding love, will she want to go back to her world that she belongs in? Find out in Trials by Fire. I thought that this was different and really interesting while I read it. It hooked me from the beginning and kept me to the end. If there is a sequel (which I think there will be), I’m totally checking it out. This book is a must read. I would for sure recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read and enjoys the fantasy genre. I can tell you now, you won’t be able to put the book down!
