Protectors of the Light by Ivy Gilbert

Ivy Gilbert’s Protectors of the Light is a classic fantasy tale with a supernatural twist – charged with protecting positive timelines from corruption and evil, Hannah must deal with foes beyond her comprehension to protect a powerful force for good. While the premise of an ordinary person thrust into extraordinary circumstances is a familiar one, Gilbert adds an intriguing element of the bond between twins, leaning towards esoteric spirituality in its focus on our fundamental interconnectedness. The pace of the novel is quick, and while the concepts can be surprisingly deep, they’re delivered with a light touch, making for an enjoyable escapist read that may leave readers reflecting on what is most important in life.
