This extraordinary novella is like nothing I have encountered before, being a book that solely focuses on our minds as we allow our imaginations to soar when reading. My first reaction was `what an ingenious, inspired concept!' by a writer who clearly has a vivid imagination and likes to explore and discover. Having read this book I am very uncertain as to what genre it slots into; whether it should be classed as Fantasy or something more of a spiritual work of fiction? This is the kind of novella that needs to be experienced first and foremost, for it is hard to express in so many words the content and feelings that I have towards it.Highly original and unique this is a distinctive volume that I would say reaches out to a select readership, as it is a novella that not everyone will understand clearly or find it `to their taste'. It boarders on the supremely singular type of story, containing a great amount of inner meaning and thought-provoking connotation. It is a book that gets you thinking while altering your perception upon the mind and lets the imagination take over...soaring cloud high. At times the storyline is confusing and too detailed {containing too much nuance and undefined implication}, hence why I feel torn in two halves about liking and disliking this book.This creative, inventive and remarkably atypical novella is not something that you will encounter every day and so I am pleased to have had the privilege to discover it. As I remain questioning the spiritual significance of the story {Spirit Crushers, Spirit Users and reality itself} in comparison with the `fantasy/ adventure' feel to it, I urge you to delve into this debut with an open mind. Very interesting and incredibly refreshing S. A Tawks' novella `The Spirit of Imagination' is well worth a look!*I won a copy of S A Tawks' novella `The Spirit of Imagination' through a Goodreads, first-read book giveaway.I was sent a rough manuscript which rather surprised me *
