Hey y’all! Hope everyone is having a great day, week, month year etc. today I have a book review for my lovely friend Lhexa, who wrote this book when she was just a little kiddo, working on it from ages 10-14. I sat down and read it and I gotta say I loved it. Here’s the link to it below:

And my original review I sent over to her upon finishing it.

“ So I have to be honest, I hadn’t read it yet, but I was very interested in reading it based on your other writings of the analytical or non fiction manner, and liked it to put it in my favs for later…. After getting your note I began reading… and let me just say: I am Hooked. It pulled me in and I couldn’t tear myself away! I found it to be extremely well written and the story paced well. I was reminded of Eragon, particularly the first book which is one of my most treasured memories of reading. I’ll note that i haven’t re-read Eragon since I was a teen, nor finished the series due to my adhd and personal stuff, etc, but the cadence, and way of introducing the story and characters and expanding upon it, first slowly then urgently as the story began was seriously wonderful. I loved it. I love the characters, their motives felt real and deep, the world building felt natural and cohesive; really incredible writing! I also enjoyed the different character viewpoints. None of the characters - sans Tolbert and Gabri - felt like villains, but complex multifaceted individuals with their own motives, passions, blind spots, and unique dispositions. Honestly it feels ready to to be printed!!! Most importantly I’m dying to read more. It’s really good, you have all my kudos and bravos”

Slightly unfortunately there will be no sequel but as a standalone book it filled me with interesting thoughts and ideas and I was deeply immersed in reading it. Definitely give it a shot!
