I was given an ARC by the amazing author and I can say, it did not disappoint. The world was amazingly crafted with characters with depth that made me love or hate them and the unpredictability was amazing too.
As a reader that usually reads Fantasy with plot twists I was expecting one that is could easily been seen from the beginning in all of the books I have read. When I updated my process and saw one of the reviews said it had a plot twist I was using every inch of my brain to figure it out. When it came there was no way I could have predicted that and it came out beautifully as well. The ending tied up some loose strings that made me wonder at the beginning, ‘Why did they do that?’
Character wise was amazing as well. The characters weren’t all black and white though. Characters you would think trustworthy would have hints of depth and ready to stab you in the gut 😉 when shown their real intentions. I loved how the main character wasn’t full of herself once she was shoved crucial information of her being ‘gifted by the gods’ like other stories. She was written as a normal person would react ‘Why me? I’m ordinary like everyone else so what’s so special about me?’
The prophecy I would love to say though is *chefs kiss*. I mean the rhyme was amazing and it doesn’t tell you all details from the first sentence like all prophecies letting the reader wanting more.
There’s so much more I would love to say about this amazing story though all I can say is, continue writing your beautiful stories and if you continue the series I would love the rest. Now everyone go read the book!

I am thrilled to share that I have published my first novel, "Destroyer," part of the "Guardians of Life" series. This fantasy tale interweaves the challenges of my family's journey with magical realism, reflecting themes of struggle, resilience, and understanding. The story, while entirely fictional, encapsulates the essence of overcoming obstacles through a captivating blend of drama, affection, and humor.
About the Book:
Destroyer is designed to captivate readers with its suspense, magic, adventure, and affection. The novel features dramatic twists and cliffhangers that compel readers to eagerly turn to the next chapter, immersing them in a mystical realm filled with betrayal, prophecies, and powerful entities. The cover, beautifully crafted by my daughter—who is currently attending medical school, the first in our family—adds a significant and personal touch that has been well received. Additionally, the book has already garnered positive feedback from several colleges, praised for its engaging and compelling narrative.
Thank you for letting me be part of the group and taking the time to read my post.
