My Review:

Iwishicana/Acanawishi is a self published novel by Larissa Hinton. She contacted me and asked me to review her book. I think the concept is really cool. Iwishicana is a world where wishes come true.

I really wanted to like this book. However there was very little world building and as a result there were a lot of things about the book that I didn't really understand. I think knowing more about this world, the world that Anissa lived in, and how Iwishicana came to be would have made this novel more enjoyable.

I also did not like the main characters, Anissa and Florence. I found them both to be spoiled and bratty. I also felt the dialogue was stilted.

The bottom line is I really wanted to like this book. I think if it had had a lot more detail than I would've liked it a lot better. I think this book needed a lot more work before publishing. I had a hard time even finishing the book.
