The characters are captivating. The plot is skilfully woven  with the perfect balance of mysterious imagery.  Jeffrey Overstreet&#8217;s lyrical writing style is poetic, artistic, and nearly musical at times.<\/p>\n<p>I related to <em><strong>Auralia&#8217;s Colors<\/strong><\/em> on more than one level. On one level is the story line which drew me in and kept my interest until the end. On another level I was immersed in the mystical beauty of the subliminal atmosphere that seemed to be just out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>My imagination was captured by the imagery of a colorless world and Auralia&#8217;s attempt to bring it back to life with colors woven from nature. As an amateur graphic artist, I am enthralled with colors and their contrasts or marriage with other colors. Auralia&#8217;s methods of taking colors from nature for her creations revealed a bit more to me of the true source of art and color.<\/p>\n<p>I  had hoped to participate in each day of this blog tour but may not be able to do so. My mother-in-law is critically ill in a hospital an hour&#8217;s drive from my home so my internet time is necessarily shortened for now.<\/p>\n<p>I do highly recommend this book especially to fantasy lovers. The story is full of wonder and the beauty of Overstreet&#8217;s writing is truly rare.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"> Book web site: <a href=\"http:\/\/lookingcloser.org\/auralia\/default.htm\">http:\/\/lookingcloser.org\/auralia\/default.htm<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"> Jeffrey Overstreet&#8217;s Author blog, Looking Closer Journal:  <a href=\"http:\/\/lookingcloser.wordpress.com\/\">http:\/\/lookingcloser.wordpress.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/asin\/1400072522\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to purchase your own copy of Auralia&#8217;s Colors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>*Participants\u2019 Links:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiansciencefiction.blogspot.com\"> Brandon Barr<\/a> |<a href=\"http:\/\/jimfictionreview.blogspot.com\/\">Jim Black | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/fantastyfreak.blogspot.com\/\">Justin Boyer | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/gracebridges.blogspot.com\">Grace Bridges | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.journeyintograce.blogspot.com\">Jackie Castle | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.carolbrucecollett.com\/\">Carol Bruce Collett | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/invalslittleworld.blogspot.com\/\">Valerie Comer | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/csffblogtour.com\/\">CSFF Blog Tour | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scificatholic.com\/\">D.
