I always have difficulty with romance books that involve power dynamics, so slavery is definitely not something I can see myself getting past as a discomfort factor personally. Think this’ll be a pass for me.

The book "The Prodigy Slave, Book One:Journey to Winter Garden by Londyn Skye; Is a romance novel in which Lily, whom seems to be a woman of destiny was drifted into a punishment of undertaking an unprecedented turbulent journey to Winter Garden that dramatically alters her life and influences the lives of thousands, including a man with great power.
This punishment to Lily came from James, who was Lily's Master's son. James discovered that Lily had secretly learned how to play her Master's piano that was forbidden from her to touch. This She did as a solace from the devastation of being sold into slavery at the age of nine by her master whom Lily took as her very own father. Lily becomes an extraordinary pianist; and played the piano secretly for fourteen years before her deceit was discovered by James.
Also, as a result of this Lily's groundbreaking journey to Winter Garden, the secret ultuistic love of a powerful man who has been forbidden from expressing his love to Lily for years was unveiled.
But what remains as a question to unravel is whether the strength of the man's love will be powerful enough to free Lily from the shackles of slavery and project her life dreams while on her turbulent journey to Winter Garden.

I'm really happy to see a book that features the life of a slave. Lily being ripped out of her mother's hands is definitely not an easy read. I would like to know more about her and her master's son, James. This is definitely a great book to read.

Lily is the protagonist of this story, a prodigy girl who had to go through difficult times since her childhood. Story that brings together those characters that you love and also those that you hate, which means that the story moves emotions. Lily can become your favorite character and feel close to her through reading. Excellent recommendation.

Great review of"The Prodigy Slave, Book On by Londyn Skye. This story of The Prodigy Slave is heartwarming as it deals with a virtual fairytale storyline. Indeed it helps if a slave happens to possess latent potentials such as the talent for playing the piano. Such ability will lend to its owner's higher esteem once discovered and developed.

I love how you said you could be best friends with Lily; that means the author has created a character so endearing and real-life. Yes, that switching of accents would be annoying; thanks for the heads up. Now, when I encounter it, I can move past it. I love first-person narratives and appreciate your mentioning that it occasionally switches between characters.

It's amazing to see that some people don't actually have any dreams. They say they're living one day at a time, and they just accept whatever lie throws at them.

This historical romance is really trying my emotions. The plot was really captivating and enjoyable, in my opinion. Even as I read this review, I can already feel how serious the act of taking the child away from the mother is. I'm curious as to what would have happened if I finished the book.
