Reflection

By: Crystal Nicole

Narrated by: Allison Wang

Humanity is in danger. The world of Elohi is under attack. The Ruach has been stolen by the avro leader, Arah. Warriors of the Light, Sairen wolves, are in a war with darkness. Hope of an ancient prophecy that told of a powerful king has faded. When Lorraine Sapphire's brother is kidnapped by a powerful avro-monsters with the power to turn humans into monsters themselves-she will do whatever it takes to rescue him. As if learning her own power as a white Sairen wolf isn't difficult enough, she now has the added difficulties of determining whether or not to trust the stranger, Kiran, who claims he knows her brother's whereabouts. Saving Lorraine's brother becomes more than a personal matter as the secrets to her brother's kidnapping begin to unravel and the power of the Ruach revealed. With the fate of the sairen wolf king-and humanity-hanging in the balance, Lorraine must face the darkest parts of herself if she is to play her part in saving the world. But how can one person be strong enough to face down evil itself? Will the Sairens be able to retrieve the Ruach and restore balance to the world of Elohi? Or will the Sairens fall prey to the avros newfound powers?

Love This Book

I love this book! It was so well thought out and put together. The story is amazing. I love the idea of wolves with wings that also have a human form. It’s such a wonderful new idea that is inspiring. I cannot wait for book 2! The only reason I’m giving the performance 4 stars is because there were a few errors that were not cut out properly but overall well done.

Emotionally Deep

This is a very deeply emotional book in that it deals with feelings of self exploration and grief and loss and fear and self discovery. I resonated with a lot of the emotions portrayed in it. A very relatable book as I have been through many of these different emotions at different points in my life and the ending of the book is just so fitting. This is great wolf shifter adventure & works recommend to those who love deep connections within the story.

Wonderful start to a series

Blurb: The world of Elohi is under attack. The Ruach has been stolen by the Avro leader, Arah. Warriors of the Light, Sairen wolves, are in a war with darkness. Hope of an ancient prophecy that told of a powerful king has faded. With the fate of the sairen wolf king-and humanity-hanging in the balance, Lorraine must face the darkest parts of herself if she is to play her part in saving the world. But how can one person be strong enough to face down evil itself? Will the Sairens be able to retrieve the Ruach and restore balance to the world of Elohi? Or will the Sairens fall prey to the avros newfound powers?

This is Crystal Nicole’s first book and with it she has created a fast paced enjoyable story. This story starts out with a good amount of action and the action keeps coming though the majority of the story, just as I had expected. This is definitely a fast paced high fantasy with extensive world building. Off of the Blurb I knew exactly what I was getting into and I fully enjoyed it. I did notice the physical books on sale on Amazon and have ordered a copy to also read this in physical form eventually. The ending almost took me out, so much happened and so much was set up for book 2.

The narration by Allison Wang was enjoyable, I did notice a few spots where the narration had mistakes but it did not take away from the enjoyment of the story. And If I am honest there narrators do way better than I could ever do. I found Allison’s voice calming and interesting especially during the action parts, her voice changes were subtle and flowed nicely for each character.
I listened at 1.2x

Great debut

This was a great debut novel! I fell in love with the characters and loved the unique world!

I loved how the author took familier Christian themes but used them in a way that felt fresh and exciting!

The narrator did a great job and has a really pleasant voice.
