REVIEW

A coming of age fantasy novella with a fascinating magic system & intriguing world building. With mystique, adventure, family reunion, newly established friendship & self discovery—a refreshing mix of elements that will enlighten readers.

I loved the character of Nisha—our relatable & sometimes even slightly hilarious heroine—her refusal in settling for fate, rather, taking matters into her own hands & believing in her strength to change what seemingly could not be altered—I loved that stubborn courage.

As for the magic, I have never come across any similar magic systems as what was established in the story—it was so intriguing! I can’t wait to understand more of the functioning & history of the world.

However, keep in mind this is a very short story, in which many details were considerably lacking & may possibly leave readers slightly confused, in need for more thorough explanation with the fast-paced plot. The backstories & personalities of some characters were almost non existent, though definitely creating a mysterious atmosphere, can also make readers unable to connect on deeper levels, thus making them fall flat.

Overall, there seemed a prospect for a deeper establishment of the story, as it was definitely something quite original & brimming with potential. I’m hoping there can be more in the sequels (I am desperately in need of more)
