Sky of Seven Colors Kindle Edition

In a strange part of the forest, the divide between worlds grows thin.

After the accident, Meg would do anything to wake her best friend from his deadly coma. At least, that’s what she whispered into the woodland shadows. She never imagined her wish would trap her in a gray other-earth, void of any color.

Meg's vibrant humanity is a priceless artifact in the gray kingdom, coveted by the royal court. All she wants to do is find a way back home. Until she discovers the other-earth contains healing powers that can save her friend. But only if Meg becomes what the gray people need—a human bride for Kalmus, the powerful king of the capital city.

With her heart torn between earths, Meg’s choices may cost more than she knows.

About the Author

Rachelle Nelson grew up reading fantasy novels and getting her clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, she still loves hiking through mountains and libraries, though she is a bit less fond of mud. She doesn't write true stories, but she writes about truth. When Rachelle is not reading and writing, she sings in a band with her talented husband, who makes her happier than should be legal. If you like adventures, good food, and honest conversations, you are her favorite kind of person. --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Review

"A wonderfully strange debut...there’s something ineffably beautiful about the whimsical and wild fantasy world and culture Nelson has created."  ~Kirkus Reviews
  ― Kirkus Reviews

"Via evocative prose, Nelson skillfully portrays the unsettling world and its deep sense of place and history. Themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice reverberate throughout this quietly gratifying debut." ― Publishers Weekly

Rachelle Nelson weaves a fantasy whose familiar elements like magical races, otherworldly portals and chosen ones are colored by vivid descriptions and bright variations. 
  ― Lorehaven --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling, Heart-Gripping, and Beautiful
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2023

This book was hard to put down. It tells the story of a young, timid girl dragged into a grey world where she is asked to fulfill a prophesy and save the people by becoming the king's bride. Although horrified at first, she realizes the magic in this world may be the only cure for her best friend, who is dying. Bargaining for his life with her own, Meg is soon caught up with much more than she expected with the whole kingdom at stake.
This tale includes themes of selfless love as Meg must risk much to save her friend and help the members of the kingdom. It also tells of true evil, including a devious villain masquerading as a hero. Nelson did a wonderful job of making the grey earth seem real. It is depicted as a tangible, orderly universe, with creatures that act much like humans. Interestingly, despite its magic, marvelous animals, and strange people and food, it does not seem "better" than our earth.
All in all, the story is enthralling, heart-gripping, and beautiful. The characters come alive and face challenges and dilemmas that affect both worlds. Through the story, the main character matures and the sub-characters eyes are opened to the evil they saw as good. Sky of Seven Colors is a unique fantasy novel, one of the best I have read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clean, Engaging Fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024

Meg is transported against her will to a colorless planet with strange humanoids called Regents and Croppers. Meg is the planet’s hope. The Regents and Croppers are dying off.

I liked Meg. She is focused and determined. She also makes mistakes which means she’s relatable. I liked the huge birds, Meg’s boyfriend (though we don’t see much of him), and the characters named Proce and Von. The scary king was my favorite character, though. Kudos to Nelson for revealing his evil scheme bit by bit, raising the stakes and increasing the story’s tension. I couldn’t put the book down past the 50 percent mark!

The first part of the book was a little slow, like when Meg arrived on the colorless planet, but maybe I would have been more excited about her journey if I were a young adult. (I’m middle aged.) I also thought there’d be more overt Christian content, but you have to dig out the Christian messaging through allegorical scenes.

Themes of sacrifice and forgiveness are woven into the story.

Overall, Sky of Seven Colors is a clean, engaging fantasy novel with cool characters and excellent world building.

This was one of the best fantasy books I've read in a long time. I absolutely loved the world building, the strange world with earthy giants and austere rulers. The king was a nightmare, an evil, evil person. And the ending was very rewarding! Also, the romance is fantastic! LOVED IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent YA Debut Novel!
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2023

This is a wonderful story! The characters are interesting and likeable, the fantasy creatures unique and different. Every detail is beautifully described but not over done, leaving just enough to the imagination. The story drew me right in and kept my attention all the way to the end. Even though it's a stand alone novel, I would love to go back to Meg's world and explore some more!

This story is definitely meant for young adult readers, but held my attention as an adult. The main character experiences growth from a hesitant, self-conscious girl to a strong young woman willing to sacrifice her life and happiness for the well-being of others. The magic system is both intriguing and unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Really Enjoyed This Book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a lovely way to escape every day cares for an afternoon. I am not necessarily the target audience, being neither a young adult nor an avid fantasy reader. However, I love good stories, and this definitely hits that target! This novel takes the reader into a new and unknown world filled with amazing and unexpected sights and sounds, while taking on the real-world issues of loyalty, friendship, loss, forgiveness and social injustice, just to name a few. I have to admit a section of the book dealing with forgiveness really touched my heart and nearly made me cry.

Upon completing the story, I at first thought that the bad guy could have been a little scarier or more intimidating, but after further reflection, I decided that in real life evil doesn’t wear a costume or have a theme song. So often evil looks like many around us. If our antagonist would have been a caricature of a villain, our heroine would have lost the opportunity to learn how selfishness and greed can affect the motivation of others.

I definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves a good slice-of-life story especially young adult readers looking for a lovely fantasy with heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy that keeps you turning the page
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024
I read this book as part of a book club. I listened to the audio, so I didn't realize when I started that it was a fantasy book. I normally don't read or enjoy fantasy, but Nelson did a superb job in creating her world and bringing it to life. The characters were relatable, even the other-worldly ones. I would have preferred a bit of "philosophical" entertainment along with the fantasy, but that's just me!
