The Lost City Book Description

Amanda Hocking, the New York Times bestselling author of The Kanin Chronicles, returns to the magical world of the Trylle Trilogy with The Lost City, the first novel in The Omte Origins—and the final story arc in her beloved series.

The storm and the orphan

Twenty years ago, a woman sought safety from the spinning ice and darkness that descended upon a small village. She was given shelter for the night by the local innkeepers but in the morning, she disappeared leaving behind an infant. Now nineteen, Ulla Tulin is ready to find who abandoned her as a baby or why.

The institution and the quest

Ulla knows the answers to her identity and heritage may be found at the Mimirin where scholars dedicate themselves to chronicling troll history. Granted an internship translating old documents, Ulla starts researching her own family lineage with help from her handsome and charming colleague Pan Soriano.

The runaway and the mystery

But then Ulla meets Eliana, a young girl who no memory of who she is but who possesses otherworldly abilities. When Eliana is pursued and captured by bounty hunters, Ulla and Pan find themselves wrapped up in a dangerous game where folklore and myth become very real and very deadly—but one that could lead Ulla to the answers she’s been looking for.

Review 

My name is Ulla, I have 19 years old, I´m an Omte (or I think so) and I live with a family where I help the to take care of theire children.

When I was a baby a woman abandoned me in an Inn that was property of the Mr. and Mrs. Tulin. they taked care of me and raise me like if I was theire daughter, specially Mr. Oskar Tulin.

The only thing they new about the person thay think is my mom was her name. Orra. 

Thats why this year im going to Mimirin in the Merellä city thanks to an internship so I can help and also discover information about who I am, where I came from and who is my mom.

I thoght this trip I was doing it alone but by a mischief of one the family children she ends up with me.

I have rented a room for a month with a roommate called Dagni and she is a Good person, even accepted that my companion Hannah stayed with us for a while. 

In mimrin I have to do my job, is something like and intern where I help to archive and organize data and minwhile Im doing that, also im searching for info about my past and see if I can find something relevant about me. 

And is just here where I meet an amazing person, his name is Pan and also Works here in Mimirn, he showed me all the premises the first day and since that momet he helped me in so many other situations. 

Hannah meets Eliana, a peculiar girl that doesnt remember many things but that has some amazing abilities for what we decided that the best would be if she stays with us for a while whilst we decide or find a way to help her.

Everything goes surprisingly  Good, at my job, Pan helps me to find information about people that can be related with me or with Orra and at home with all the girls we have a great time together. until one day Eliana begins to be in danger and is kidnapped by people we dont know who they are or where they come from, so Pan and I decided to go to find her and see what is waiting for us in this new adventure. 

opinion

I really liked the book I think is really fast to read and so entertaining. The story is fast and even if is the first one of the trilogy and is more introductory about the world, you still can find action and a Good story, also the characters are so Good, they´re mature and you can get attached to them ( I found Pan so cute) I can wait to read the next one to find out what happens with Ulla and pan on the adventure and if they save Eliana or discover more about the familly of Ulla. And if you had read the last book about this world definitely you should read this one and fall in love again.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copie and to the publishing for let me be part of the booktour.
