"Opaque: Section Saga Book 1" by Calix Leigh-Reign is a gripping and thought-provoking fiction novel that delves deep into the inner turmoil of a teenage boy named Adam. The book is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking readers on a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and transformation.

From the very beginning, the writing in "Opaque" is captivating and immersive. The author's ability to paint vivid pictures with words and create a world that feels both familiar and mysterious is truly commendable. The story flows effortlessly, keeping readers engaged and eager to uncover the secrets hidden within its pages.

Adam, the protagonist of the story, is a complex character struggling to come to terms with the changes happening in his body and his growing disillusionment with society. His view of people as animals and his constant need to blend in to avoid attention make him a fascinating yet challenging character to root for. Throughout the book, Adam's evolution is beautifully portrayed as he navigates his feelings and beliefs, ultimately finding solace and understanding through his encounters with the enigmatic Carly.

The narration in "Opaque" is top-notch, drawing readers into Adam's world and making them feel every emotion and dilemma he faces. While Adam may be a polarising character at times, with moments that leave readers torn between supporting him or despising him, this complexity only adds depth to the story.
One of the standout aspects of "Opaque" is the author's impeccable editing. There are no noticeable errors or inconsistencies in the text, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the story without distractions. The seamless flow of the narrative and the attention to detail in crafting each scene showcase the author's dedication to creating a polished and engaging read.

Overall, "Opaque: Section Saga Book 1" is a remarkable work of fiction that excels in storytelling, character development, and world-building. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent reading this book and found myself captivated by its themes and messages. There is nothing I disliked about the book.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend "Opaque" to anyone looking for a compelling and thought-provoking read. For its exceptional story, well-developed characters, and immersive world-building, I give this book a well-deserved rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Calix Leigh-Reign has created a masterpiece that will linger in the minds of readers long after they finish the final page.
