Seventeen-year-old Sarette has always thought of her life as average, even a bit boring. She does well in school, has a loving mother and a loyal best friend, Mathew. Of course, she has her problems as well—cold Michigan winters, a long-lost father she knows nothing about, and the lack of a boyfriend. She also has the vague sensation that she is being watched by some unseen entity, but figures that means she’s average and crazy.Nothing could be further from the truth . . .Daearen isn't much different than the human world. Imagine a world where science is replaced with magic.

She grew up Metro-Detroit and went to Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan before moving to Georgia. After spending more than a decade there with her husband, kids, and dogs. Her family realized Georgia was too cold and now live in Costa Rica where it's summer all year and the seasons are; kind of dry, a little rainy, and deluge. Emmy's love of her roots and traveling comes out in her writing as she creates new realms of existence with the Daearen Realms and several new never-before-written species of shifter with the Lupinski Clan and whatever she comes up with next.

New to Fantasy, Now I'm Hooked!

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

I like fantasy movies, but when I choose a book it's never in the Y.A. Fantasy genre. The reason I opened it was because I was told that it referenced my home town of Adrian, Michigan. I'm pleased to say that what reticence I brought to opening the book quickly dissipated!

There are many familiar plot points that are staples for fantasy, but there is also a lot of freshness that keeps the reader deeply engaged. I'm ashamed to say how rare it is that I make my way to the conclusion of a book. It's no small compliment for me to say that Ms. Gatrell's story craft had me so riveted that I finished it in less than a day's time!

The first person protagonist--Sarette--is a strong female protagonist. At the onset, I found her far more mature than the average 17 year old with interests and conversational qualities more akin to someone college age. Once the story got into full gear, her maturity level seemed both reasonable and believable.

I really enjoyed the use of Adrian, Michigan as a backdrop. I found the use of real landmarks, buildings, people and terrain gave a high quality dimension to the story. I would be willing to bet that those details would give a depth of believability to readers completely unfamiliar with the small city.

It's challenging to find much to put in the "cons" column. I don't trust reviews that are 100% rave, and am trying desperately to find a few detractions. Unfortunately for me, I can only come up with a few weak ones. 1. The two main characters seem to shower every place they go. They don't always eat, but you can rest assured that they're going to get clean. 2. I couldn't decide if I found the comparison to places in Daearen--the world of the fey--to 21st century US culture useful or distracting. The jury's out.

Overall, the story has lots of twists and turns with plenty of nice surprises. It has well written sexual tension that both maintained integrity for the story but was also age appropriate for the target readership. There's also a significant amount of action, making it a very compelling read! I'm excited to begin Book 2 immediately!

Interesting and Fast Read

I would recommend this book for all who enjoy action, romance, and royalty. The story's flow held my attention and kept my interest. I found the characters to be friendly and their interactions realistic for the genre. This would have been 5 stars if the book had been longer with more description or dialogue and if I was sure about the pronunciation of the title and some of the names of the characters.

I absolutely loved, loved this book! Sarette was amazing, a strong and hilarious heroine. Elwin was awesome and I am so glad they had their happy "ending". This story was imagination at it's very best and so well done, too.

Wish she would get an editor because then this book would sky rocket to the top of the sales chart! There were sentences that were mixed up so they didn't make sense until I studied them and rearranged them in my mind. Not so great when you are enjoying yourself. Also some words were used in the wrong way, some that happen in other books, too. Peaked at someone is not correct. A peak is on a mountain top. You PEEK at someone or something. Also she had someone ringing their hands. Should have been Wringing:To clasp and twist or squeeze (one's hands), as in distress. Even with all that it was an incredible book and I cannot wait for the sequel. Please tell me there is going to be one!

An Excellent Book--Can't Wait for Part 2!

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014

Ever since the appearance of Harry Potter and Twilight, many tween fantasy series have made it into the mainstream. Among them, Emmy Gatrell’s MEANMNA stands out. The story of Sarette, a seemingly average teen who is really a half-human, half-fey princess about to fulfill an ancient destiny, pulled me in right away and didn’t let me go. Gatrell has created a cast of fun, loveable and believable characters, including a heroine caught not only between childhood and adulthood, but between the two worlds she must save. MEANMNA is a double-edged sword, though, because it was so great that I was left wanting more. Luckily, this is only part one in the series, and I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Jon Gatrell was so excited when he told me his wife's book was up on Amazon. I am a avid reader and always have my eyes and ears open for a new book to read. I went home that night and purchased the book. It is now 4 days later and I have finished the book. Wow is all I can think to say. I am so in love with Sarette and Elvin and I can't wait to see what happens next. The world that Emmy created is amazing. The vivid explanation of Meanmna had me feeling like I was in the book and an actual participant in the story. I could not put the book down I just had to know what was happening next. Thank you Emmy for a great book and hurry up on book #2.

One caveat to this review. I met Emily at a Zumba class at the Gym. She told me a little about her writing style and the book before I purchased it. My biggest worry was "what if I don't like the book?" That did not happen.

I very much enjoyed this book. I enjoy finding "indy" authors and some times you get a gem. This is a gem. And on the plus side you don't have much editing problems that many self published books have. Good Job to that.

The story holds up with just a few leaps of faith in the story line. You get that with Science Fiction. But wait it is also a love story.

Buy this book with no worries.

Great Book!

When I started reading this book and realized it was "fantasy" I was mentally prepared to not like it. I am not a sci-fi, future, fantasy type reader. After getting into the book a little I found myself turning the pages faster and looking forward to picking it back up again whenever I had the chance. Very well written book and am looking forward to seeing what happens to Sarette & Elwin in the second book! 👍

I love getting lost in books and that is what happened with Meanmna. A wonderland of magical technology and excellent characters. Daearen is where you may want to be after you read Meanmna. It is a story with extrodinary imagination and action. I recommend for all ages and certainly for those young at heart. I don't want to give the whole story away although I found it to be an eye opener.
