Reading the summary and feeling like Waiting on Wednesday #7 – “Magonia”

"Aza Ray is drowning in thin air.

Since she was a baby, Aza has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it ever harder for her to breathe, to speak-to live.

So when Aza catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn't think this is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her name.

Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who's always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world-and found, by another. Magonia.

Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power-and as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war is coming. Magonia and Earth are on the cusp of a reckoning. And in Aza's hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity-including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?"

Waiting on Wednesday #7 – “Magonia”Neil Gaiman's Stardust meets John Green's The Fault in Our Stars in this fantasy about a girl caught between two worlds...two races...and two destinies.

Waiting on Wednesday #7 – “Magonia”I haven't read "Stardust" but I've read "The Fault In Our Stars" and damn, that book made me cry like a baby. If this book is even near to John Green's masterpiece or the movie "Stardust" (which I love very much, so you better be good "Magonia"!) - I'll be so happy to discover a new story about destiny, love and some otherwordly stuff.
It reminds me of Trial By Fire. The main character suffers from a disease too and struggles to have a normal life - but then, she magically gets sucked in another world, where her "weakness" is actually Power.
We'll see. But the Cover is still magnificent...
