Review
My favorite thing about this novel was the way that Irene V. Phillips was able to balance Action/Drama and Comedy.
I loved the way that she wove deeper themes in with a Young Adult Fantasy novel. Everything from bullying to forgiveness and it is something that younger readers can understand and are having to deal with in their own day to day lives.
Characterization was brilliantly done. I loved all of the characters both primary and secondary, but I found that Rena was by far my favorite and I connected with her character and really tuned into what she was dealing with.
Irene V. Phillips is the author of Wanderamid's Crystal Ball. Her fascination with magic, dreams and paranormal beliefs transpires throughout the Young adult fantasy novel.
Born and raised in New Jersey, she currently resides in Florida with her teenage son.
