All of 17yo Croi's life, she has believed that she is an insignificant brownie- invisible to the human eye and also invisible to the world. But when her guardian gives her a book describing worlds she's never experienced before, suddenly she feels a connection to the strange places written with the magical books. When she feels a pull to these places, she is forced into a journey of self discovery and discovery of her magic. Although all Croi's life she has been taught that she is worthless, she is suddenly thrust into a world of endless possibilities for both her and her powers.
Road of the Lost is a whimsical novel, with lots of immersive language and colorful creations. I often thought it was a little bit too slow, as the plot was just following Croi and her inner journey, I would've loved a more plot driven book. But it definitely was a good character driven story. Croi is described as having "copper" skin along with her guardian.
