Review of Opaque
[Following is a volunteer review of "Opaque" by Calix Leigh-Reign.]
Opaque by Cālix Leigh-Reign is a story about a world where the line between normal and paranormal blurs. Adam Caspian's life is a monochrome of discontent until Carly Wit arrives, shining with an otherworldly light. Their chance meeting propels them into the hidden society of the Descendants, where a genetic twist has left them with powers that astonish and terrify. As Adam and Carly delve deeper into their heritage, they stumble upon a conspiracy that spans generations.
The novel is a tapestry of intrigue, as each revelation about their ancestors' past and their capabilities draws them closer to danger. The Descendants' sanctuary, Afrax, becomes both a haven and a battleground, where loyalties are tested and truths are twisted. This is a suspenseful tale that explores themes of the weight of secrets, the courage to face an unknown enemy, and the unyielding power of unity in the face of adversity.
What I like about this book is Vera, Carly's aunt. She's not in the story a lot, but when she is, you can tell she cares about Carly. She makes her favourite food and tries to make her feel at home, which is super sweet. In a story where there's a lot of wild stuff going on, Vera is like this safe place for Carly. It's nice to see a character who's all about family and looking out for Carly's best interests. She respects Carly for who she is, and that's something that makes you feel good when you're reading.
There is nothing to dislike about this book because it hits home with family stuff. It talks about finding your place and figuring out who you are, which is something everyone deals with. Characters like Dauma and the younger ones are all trying to understand where they fit in the world. It's cool to see them work through it, and it makes you think about your own life and family. The book makes these big ideas feel personal and real. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories about family, self-discovery, and the bonds that hold us together.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because even though Vera is not in the story much, you can feel how much she cares about Carly. She makes her favourite food and creates a comforting atmosphere for Carly, which is heartwarming. Amid all the chaos in the story, Vera is like a safe harbour for Carly, showing the importance of family and support. The rating was slightly unaffected because the book captures the essence of family dynamics and self-discovery. It tackles themes of finding one's identity and where they belong, which is something everyone can relate to. Characters like Dauma and the younger ones are all on their journeys of understanding, and it's inspiring to see them navigate through it all. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
