Lost In The Seven Worlds eBook Petronela Ungureanu

Why do people who actually have good, original ideas don't take their time to write them properly? I felt like reading something short, so I picked up "Lost in the Seven Worlds" for two reasons: it has good reviews, and it's written by a Romanian author. I was very curious to see how Petronela Ungureanu imagined her seven worlds and the creatures that inhabit them, because, yes, I was expecting to read about seven parallel worlds and different races for each of them. Well... I got the races, that's for sure.

The main character is a 19 year old girl who finds herself in a strange world, a prisoner of the beautiful Daevas, a race that resembles Tolkien's elves. She doesn't know why she is here, she doesn't know if she is of any importance to them, and she misses her home dearly. When she meets Lord Idris, a fallen Daeva, she finally hopes for love and happiness, but things don't go as planned. The story is very short, and the revelation at the end is quite rushed and it doesn't give any explanations. I don't know if the author intends to write another piece to continue this story, or if she might turn it into a series. What I do know is that it has a lot of potential. Like, A LOT.

We have a very interesting race - the Daevas - and some good world-building. While the world ruled by the Daevas has two red suns, it seems that the other ones are covered in darkness. I would have loved for all these seven worlds to be described in more detail. The writing style is smooth and descriptive, and it was easy for me to imagine everything the author described.

Unfortunately, this short story feels more like a sketch for a longer, more complex piece. Maybe it could have been turned into a novel, because there are lots of elements that are worth developing. I like the author's writing style (you really can't tell that she's not a native English speaker), so I'm going to read her other short story - "I Met a Demon". It seems that it is based on actual events, so it sounds more than promising.

Lost In The Seven Worlds eBook Petronela Ungureanu Reviews

This début story from Ungureanu caught my attention from the blurb alone. It sounded like an interesting story line. I'm glad I read this one, but I feel that it was still a bit rough around the edges.

This is a short story of around 6000 words. There are parts of the short story form that I feel worked for the story, but I feel it may have also hindered the story from fully developing. There is a place very unlike Earth in this story, and outside of the Seven Worlds. Of those the characters only visit one of them, and it's for a brief time. I don't feel that the title fits with this either, because the main character, if anything, is lost in the world of the Daevas because that's where she was held. But it's not part of the seven worlds, (at least not how I read it in the story).

Another thing that irked me a bit was, what I feel is, the overuse of ellipses in the dialogue. I don't mind when they are used occasionally. There is a place for them in dialogue, and a bit in the regular prose, but in the later half of the book I felt that there came about too frequently and became cumbersome to the reading. There are other ways to create the same effect of the "..." without having to use them each time.

Even though I feel that the ending was a little rushed and left more questions than conclusions, I did enjoy the story. I liked the Daevas and how they were described. The world building wasn't very extensive, but it worked for the most part for a short piece. I feel that the relationships between the characters could have been fleshed out more to help sympathize with those the reader might be on the fence with, in the who to like/trust way. But there's a good basis for something much larger and even more enjoyable here.

The ending, while I can't really get into it due to my avoidance of spoilers, left me wanting to know more about what the author was trying to convey. There's a great deal more to be known about the Daevas and this mysterious realm where humans are outsiders. I hope that Ungureanu explores it more and shares with her readers.
