Thank you for your review. I wonder if the series has continued and if the author has taken your advice.

I like fantasy books but the plot for this one is not interesting to me. Thanks for the review.

8-) This book quickly captured my attention. I really like the style of writing. it's exciting and provides inside into the characters emotions. In a few pages, it's clear why the main characters act the way they do. I am looking forward to finding the time to read the whole book.

Magic, mayhem, and coming of age: Sounds like a great novel for teens.

I have read the first ten pages of this book but it is not as interesting as it seems. The story is confusing and the descriptions are vague. Anyway, thanks for the review.

This sounds like an interesting read that I will add to my reading list. Though, it does sound like most young adult/teen fiction novels that are out there. But nonetheless, there is a reason why there are so many of them out there. People do love them. Thanks for the review

I have to admit I'd quite like to read the rest of this book after having read the preview. I haven't read the review posted here because honestly I am way too tired at the moment, and I usually never read reviews before reading a book. It's a bit slow going, cliche, but the cat pulls me in. I can't help it. I feel like if I were to read this I'd struggle a bit with the inane plot of the boyfriend and such, but I hope the actual plot would make up for that! Will definitely try and check this out!

I may be a bit too critical of this but the punctuation, especially in your first paragraph, could use a little polishing. There are a few times when a comma is needed and doesn't appear. I'm not trying to be mean and I hope this doesn't upset you; these are easy things to overlook but some of us notice them right away.

The content of your review is excellent. I think you did a great job of setting the scene in an enticing way and also giving your feelings on the overall story.

Great job!

Sounds very interesting. I know we were told "not to judge a book by it's cover," and that is what I did when I saw the cover of this book. But after reading your review, there is definitely a lot more to the book. I think it would be something very interesting to read and also it may be a good book to have in my high school library.

A fantasy tale tells the story of Piper and her family. Piper is wonderfully mature for her age and she is likable. It sounds like a true story that despite it being fantasy tells a great truth. We can all change the world we living in. I read the sample and despite not really being a fantasy fan I could not but bought the book to continue reading it.

Absolutely in LOVE with this book. Street shows the reader an insight into the life of Piper Frieda, and her extraordinary abilities. It's hard to express how great this book is without giving too much away, so if you're a fan of YA books, such as 'The Hunger Games' or 'Divergent', I thoroughly urge you to read this book!

I am excited to read this book. The way you described it sounds like you can really get drawn into the characters and won't be lost.

Mitchel Street's Prophase: A Present Tale sounds like an interesting fantasy bildungsroman. I am not drawn to this category of books, but I guess lovers of the genre will enjoy Piper Walker's story!
