J. Barrett was thorough in describing the details of each character’s physical attributes. He gave the history of every character strategically without interrupting the main plot. Orabelle holds darkness within, and I became more curious as her personality developed. I think Blaise felt genuine affection for Orabelle, but her hatred of him was blatant. There was never a dull moment, and I immersed myself in the depiction of another world. The dialogue was engaging and the connection between Orabelle and the supporting characters was effortless. Halfway through the story, I hated Chronos as much as Orabelle did. The end of the story left me eager to dive into the sequel. Fantasy, family drama, and more await. I recommend Orabelle to readers who enjoy action-filled fantasy stories

“Orabelle is a novel that manages to do quite a lot, without having a long page count. The story not only introduces the amazing fantasy world, but also serves as an introduction to its series. The novel really sets the scene for an epic and exciting series to come. The author did a fantastic job building the world of the story, and introducing it to the reader, in a complete way without being too heavy on exposition. The world-building felt very natural and was seamlessly integrated into the story. The magic system in the novel was an elemental system and it was so interesting to read about. The author put a lot of thought into how each element could be used, and there was some points where I was pleasantly surprised by how the magic was used, and how it made the story stand out to me. The plot had a great deal of twists and turns. Events left me with questions right up to the last page of the book, and its ending set the stage for an interesting second entry into the series.”
