Life Full of Emotions:
✿ Heleanne95: It's a nice book, the story really takes you into the emotions. So you can sympathise.
✿ BookReaderHello: It's a great, refreshing and beautiful book. It's very powerfully written and it shapes how one deals with different emotions. It's very special how well the writer empathises with the emotions.

Raven's Phoenix:
✿ Julie: I sometimes feel like the story is a bit rushed, but that's maybe just me, because I crave details. But I enjoy it very very much.
✿ Dina: It took a while before the action started, but once it did, it got me hooked. I'm in awe with how the writer comes up with all those situations and the way it's written. It was a pleasure to read.
✿ Rina: The story is similar to what most of us, including myself, have experienced. The anxiety, the fear, the hesitation of trusting someone new and finding that couragement to trust that said person and let them help you. Showing you that it's okay to feel vulnerable, it's okay to feel not okay, especially after what you went through and it's okay to ask for help. And sometimes it's okay to trust someone.
✿ Natalija: This is such an emotional and beautiful book. It's about a girl who suffered a lot and through her journey, she meets different people who later become her friends. The story and characters are so well-written. It's a story about pain, healing, friendship, mythical beings and self-discovery. It's also very heartwarming as each one of them has a traumatic past and they all help each other. I sympathised with the characters and felt their struggles. Throughout the whole book, I was very interested and eager to read more because many adventures awaited them. It was just such a delight to read this book.

The Dome Code:
✿ Ash: It is amazing! Aw man I really loved it.
✿ Lisa: I really liked it! I don’t know much about books. It’s been a while since I read a book, but it was good! I was first like, huh? What is it about? In a good way. I wanted to know what was going to happen. And then it was answered later. There are so many questions I my head about this that can’t be answered yet. I really want to know what will happen next.
✿ Julie: Omg that first chapter was intense and amazing and scary! I can’t wait to know what will happen to Zach and all the boys there. Those people may seem nice, but I smell something fishy coming. I loved it, sincerely. Can’t wait for the rest, you got me hyped. Perhaps it’s also because I love this kind of apocalyptic stories. I deep feel something is not right with those people and that the ‘attack’ might not be so ‘unnatural’ after all. Really eager to read all of it.
✿ Conan: It’s so awesome. I crave more after having read it.
✿ Simone: Okay so I read your chapter in the middle of the night and I kinda need chapter 2 now. Come on, you can’t leave me hanging.
✿ Kae: I have to tell, I loved your scenery descriptions. It felt like watching a movie and I could easily imagine them. Sometimes I find scenery descriptions a bit too overwhelming but in your case it was rich and really enjoyable! The plot is utterly interesting, I’m actually hooked on the story and have a lot of questions about what’s going on and what’s going to happen. At the end of the chapter I had the ‘I want more’ feeling.
✿ Charles: Overall I really liked it. And you described everything very well. I know it’s only the first chapter but it was pretty good. I really enjoy reading it and it distracts me too. I don’t know who told you your writing sucked but they must be crazy. You deserve all the compliments. You are really good at this. Some things made me upset at first, but I was also super shocked. Which is a good thing in my opinion. I really didn’t see some things coming. A book rarely surprises me this much. And chapter 3, it was actually really good! Like really. It was that good! And I just finished chapter 4 and it was so freaking good. It was captivating. I felt like I was there with Zach. Experienced all the emotions with him. And I’m always curious about what comes next. And the way Zach thinks. You just wrote so well. I felt like I was Zach while reading. The way you deliver the story is amazing.
✿ Pesta: First of all, I’d like to say right off the bat that I liked it and I finished chapter one feeling I’d totally want to keep reading if I had more. As far as chapter one goes, I think it’s a pretty broad spectrum. I liked how visual you’re keeping it. It’s often overlooked in books or there is no balance between either dry description or ‘’too much to keep up and not get distracted.’’ I also liked how you draw attention to the character’s feelings (as an emotional state).
✿ Jordy: The chapter already takes my attention in the very beginning! Furthermore, I believe it is a good introduction to the main character. I am curious to the rest of the book.
✿ Marit: I read most of chapter one and have to say I love it already! I loved that you immediately get immersed in the story and I love the way that you have written it! The story is very well-written and immediately makes you want to read more to know what happens. It is very detailed and good to read and understand!
✿ Benjamin: It’s well-written and immersive. Which are strong points. The intention to detail falls in favour later down the story. As especially the inner thoughts of the boy are described masterly. Your writing style is immersive and easy to follow.
✿ Waffle: I loved the story, such an amazing story! Definitely worth one billion stars; I can't wait for the next one. Super hyped! I loved the plot twist and think I cried a little. Definitely got attached to the characters, and I loved them. I loved the cover, it's very well-drawn. I say it's a 10/10, very well-written and I loved every word.

The Island Trials:
✿ Kai: Wow, just wow. From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The tension, the mystery, and the sheer depth of the world-building are incredible. The pacing is so well done that I couldn't put it down! I need more ASAP.
✿ Lena: I loved the way the story unfolds—it’s immersive, gripping, and full of intrigue. The characters feel real, and their struggles hit hard. There’s a perfect balance between action and emotion, making every scene feel raw and intense. Absolutely brilliant!
✿ Jace: This book is a rollercoaster. I genuinely got chills while reading certain parts. The way the tension builds, the descriptions, and the unpredictability of the plot make it one of the best reads I’ve had in a while. I need the next one already!
✿ Mia: The world-building is insane, and the writing makes everything feel so vivid and alive. I felt like I was right there with the characters, experiencing their fears and hopes. It’s been a long time since a book kept me this engaged. 10/10, would recommend!
✿ Theo: I couldn’t stop reading! The mystery had me at the edge of my seat, and every reveal left me wanting more. There are so many questions running through my mind, and I love how the book doesn’t spoon-feed you but makes you piece things together. So, so good.
✿ Aria: The first few pages had me intrigued, and by the end of the first chapter, I was completely invested. The action, the secrets, the way the characters are written—it’s all amazing. I seriously can’t wait to see what happens next!
✿ Riley: This book is so cinematic in its descriptions—I could literally see every scene in my mind. The writing is fluid and captivating, and the story itself is just so well thought out. Definitely one of my favourite reads this year.
