An Enjoyable YA Fantasy

Leslie Professional Picture
Ernie Satuan is a Weeia, which means he has superhuman abilities. In his case, those abilities pertain to technology and gadgets. Though he is smart, he is a bit too trusting. When he puts his faith in the wrong people, he finds himself punished for a crime he did not commit. He is sent to perform grub work at the Marshals’ Academy, which is similar to being sentenced to military service. Even there, his talents get him in trouble on more than one occasion. He sets about to try and outsmart measures to keep him out of the garden, which has caught his eye. Ernie soon finds himself in the midst of a tangled plot involving the marshals. Will his abilities help or hinder the situation?

This is a YA fantasy novella, which is a spinoff of Boca’s “Weeia” series. However, this book can easily be read and followed as a standalone, as it is the only one I have read at this time. Ernie is a rebellious but truly likable character. He has struggles with his past, which makes him identifiable. Overall, this is an imaginative tale which makes it a fun, quick read.

Enjoyable Spin-off

Sharon Stevenson

‘In the Garden of Weeia’ is a novella spin-off from Boca’s Weeia series, featuring interesting new character Ernie.

I found this a quick and enjoyable read, with a character who was almost instantly likeable. It’s the start of a new and intriguing storyline in Boca’s world of super-humans with fantastical powers.

The Marshals Academy was a cool addition to the world of Weeia. I liked that Ernie’s story was drastically different from Boca’s previous main character Amy. The story was really fresh yet maintained the elements of magic that made those first books so unique.

I thought it worked well on it’s own as well as in addition to the series. If you’ve not checked out the series out yet and you love fantasy/superhero tales you should definitely try this out!
