I appreciated the frankness of this review pertaining to both the merits and demerits of this narrative.
I am not normally a fan of the fantasy genre and there is nothing particularly appealing in the sample that pulls me to want to read the rest of the book. Thanks for your objective review.

I just love strong female characters. This definitely goes to my want to read shelf and can't wait to read it. It also looks like a mix of several genres; fantasy and coming of age. Thanks for the great review.

An interesting fantasy book. I like coming of age stories, and this one seems one of this. Great review.

Piper is a young likeable girl on whose the responsibility of his kid brother lies on after the death of their mother and she got another experience that brought out the potential in her from a new world she found herself...balancing the two worlds might be hard a little in the beginning but she would fit in perfectly with time.....This is a very good story line but the information about the mythical character that plunged her into her new world is vague and needs to be well demystified

I read the sample of the book and I loved it. I am curious about how Piper is going to "uncover a world she never knew existed", and what the new world looks like.

So, this is an interesting book that portrays strength, love and emotional intelligence. Despite problems in her family and challenges she comes across, the female character captivates the attention of readers as she portrays love, empathy, desire and emotional intelligence.
This is a book you should read.

Thank you for the review. Having read the sample pages, I can say I did enjoy the way the author described things in detail; the forest, the snow, the cat, the barefoot neighbour... I could feel the chilly wind and hear the meow of the cat and was quickly drawn into the story. I look forward to adding this to my 'to read' list.

Thanks for the review. A very interesting fantasy story. The plot has made me very curious of the powers Piper would discover she has and the positive and negative effects of it.

Prophase by Mitchel Street shows Piper Walker welcome the wonderful change that comes over her and her amazing increase in power. I would be interested in knowing more about the new world that she discovers.

I think I would enjoy the storyline of this sci fi narrative on Piper. She grows too fast and, in the process, gets powers to do extraordinary things. It’s reflective on how hardship only makes us stronger. Thanks for a wonderful review.

A fantasy coming of age novel is not my personal choice. I will pass on this one. Thank you for the review!

"Piper Walker lost her mother to cancer at a young age. Since then her father has become an alcoholic." The story/novel like this is always much based on real life.Many of us see the stories like this in our life.A girl or boy who suffered a life like this, sometimes get emotionally weak and take wrong decisions.
