Reflection: A White Council Novel

by Brandon Hargraves

After witnessing the tragic death of her closest friends and family, Dawn travels across the country with a weathered vagabond in search of her aunt. On the way, she discovers that the world is a much scarier place than she had initially imagined, and that she might have some darkness lingering within herself as well. A nail-biting, edge of your seat fantasy story; one that tackles issues of the human heart, as well as mental and emotional wellness in the wake of a trauma. Reflection is a story that teeters the line between wonder/amazement and real life terrors. The world is filled with all sorts of monsters and creatures, Reflection will leave its readers asking questions about life, and their own mental well-being.

[Randi-Lee Bowslaugh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the characters and their unique qualities. Each main character has a very distinct backstory and opinions. They form a bond built on trust that helps them through the trials they face throughout the book. What I found interesting is the other relationships that develop. They don’t last for the entirety of the novel (though perhaps they will circle back in future books). Much like life, we form various relationships that are important for a period of time but don’t always stay with us forever.

Other significant themes explored include self-doubt and loss/grief. We all struggle with self-doubt from time to time, and I loved exploring this concept in an interesting way (no spoilers!).

This is a great read for the young and old (not that I am old).
