One of the best I've read in a long time!

"One of the best books I've read in a long time. The writing was original and gripping and I very quickly fell in love with characters. I honestly was on the edge of my seat because I didn't know what was going to happen next, but I was happy just being swept along in this rich new world with these fabulous characters!"

— HLDickson (5/5)

Not bad for a quick novel read.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

"The most gorgeous, good-looking, prettiest, jaw-dropping, toe-curling version of a book to ever exist!!! I’m almost scared to read the book as it is so perfect and I don’t want to break it"

Great book!

"I enjoyed this book! I thought the plot was unique, and the characters were intriguing. Excited to read the sequel!"

— Ashley (5/5)

Twists and twists!

"Very well written and great story telling. I wish this book was bigger just in the sense of more in depth character building and back stories. I felt at times it was a little rushed and that’s why I wish it was bigger to have more story! A great read though regardless and will definitely be keeping my eye out for what’s to come!"

— Ang13 (4/5)

Amazing Book

— DP (5/5)

Beautiful artwork, gripping story

"I didnt think I would like this but I ended up loving it. The 6 character viewpoints made it really interesting and I loved the character building as the book went on. It had a very heist-like vibe and it was really enjoyable. Cant wait to read the 2nd one"

— Mimimomo (5/5)

“With vivid worldbuilding and unforgettable characters, Five Broken Blades is a gripping, unputdownable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page!” —Lynette Noni, #1 bestselling author of The Poison Healer series
