Overall rating and opinion of "The Crystilleries of Echoland" by Dew Pellucid.

I particularly loved the character development. Check, for instance, how the author tactfully brought out Will's character.

I think Wills character was one of the very few that actually developed. We just got snippets of everyone else

Well, I am a fantasy buff but I couldn't really get into this book. I think it must have just been me as so many other people have enjoyed it! The world-building was very detailed, but I was often lost as to what was happening. I'm glad so many others enjoyed the story.

I would have to agree with you! I found myself lost quite a bit but Iended up reading halfway and then starting over and it made a lot more sense the second time. You shouldn't have to do that to understand a book, but there were so many small details that were missed the firfirsfirfirst time I read it because she had a tendency to reveal something a while after she mentions it the first time

I should have given it more time. There were some really beautifully written parts.

It definitly was a different and challenging writing style, but the more I have talked about this book on here, the more and more depth I seem to find in the book!

I just read the book. It was not my favorite book of all time, but think others would like it. I loved how the author described Echoland it was so beautiful! It was very original. Loved how it was lucient people and how they hide that was real unique about it. It had great suspense.
The few thing I did not like was some of the names were not as unique as the book. Some of the names to me seemed like it was rushed though or just not as well thought out as the other characters or the story as a whole to me. I had issues with the narrator totally skipping some of the sentences and also changing words that was in the written part of the book.
I rated the book 2 out of 4.

I reviewed this book a few months ago and I really enjoyed it. I actually got to listen to it on Audible. Harrison did a fabulous job with the voices. I highly recommend it!

I reviewed the audiobook version. I gave it four out of four stars. It is a very unique story which I would generally recommend to people who enjoy fantasy and swords and sorcery and who are okay with young protagonists. This book took longer to review than most because I had to go back and listen again to certain passages to understand what was going on. It is quite an intricate work. I found it a fair bit darker than most young adult fiction.

I usually enjoy reading fantasy type novels but can't seem to get into this story. I think the writing style of the author is throwing me off or the story is just boring to me. I am passing on reading the whole book.

I still haven't gotten the chance to read this book but there were lot of good comments on the story. And I like the concept of parallel worlds. So a parallel world with echos is an interesting concept for me. I'm looking forward to read the book as soon as I get the opportunity.

Sounds like a promising book. Would definitely check it out later.

I would definitely recommend this book to other people. In general, it was really engaging and well done. In fact, the only problem I had with it (aside from a handful of spelling errors) was that the reader is often given a lot of information all at once. While this isn't a problem if you happen to have a really good memory or have time to read the book all at once (trust me, you'll want to), it tends tomakes it a little harder to read. Still, I would 100% recommend this book to anyone with an interest in fantasy.

I read the book (although I've heard the audiobook is really good!) I think it's one you have to read (or listen to) atleast twice to truly appreciate the intricate details

I struggled with the writing style as well. It was choppy and wierd lol

And I felt she would give us a bunch of info but wait a few chapters to explain it which made for a confusing read at times

This book was very interesting, and the plot was very intriguing, so I will give this book a 3 out of 4.

[Connie Otwani]

I liked the premise, a parallel world with beings that are sounds having corresponding beings - echos. Its just that sometimes there was too much information, and I ended up lost on what was going on. Like why fate sealers were so savage - lol!

Overall, I would rate the book 3 out of 4 stars and recommend it to lovers of fantasy.
