Praiseworthy Pages

Reader Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars)

I had the incredible pleasure of working as the developmental editor and proofreader on this remarkably endearing debut fantasy novel, and I fell in love with the story. Holyoak’s characters are lively and full of the kind of spunk Riordan’s characters boast. The magic system is intricate and interesting, and the subtle Christian themes definitely warm the heart. It’s a must-read for YA fantasy enthusiasts everywhere!
