Review: Great Fantasy with Intricate Details
Rating: 4 out of 5

The The Raie'Chaelia is an epic adventure with a new twist on the YA fantasy genre!For some, looking at the cover of this book may make you think "old-fashioned fairy-tale", but there you would be wrong. This is a story with a great heroin, fine details, and a new take on fantasy that is wholly immersing with its detailed writing.My favorite thing about this novel was the world that it was set in. The author added an interesting, creative twist on fantasy that blends modern life with the fantastical, and that is part King Arthur, and part Lord of the Rings. The plot is immersing and keeps the pages turning, making you wonder what will happen next. Chalice is a great main character, and a thoughtful heroin who is both strong and yet a lady.My only cons for this book were a very few grammar and spelling errors, and the fact that some of the paragraphs could be very long, and sometimes felt a bit too detailed -- fantasy fans will probably love the high use of description, however, and non-fantasy fans will love the creative story, and won't mind the heavy description.I would recommend this novel for anyone who loves YA reads (though Adult fans will enjoy it as well), or who is looking for a great escapist read. As far as "content", there is not much to mention other than a bit of fantasy violence.I give this book four of five stars for a wholly immersive and entertaining novel, and the start of an epic, fantastical series that you will definitely want to keep your eye on.Alexandra Lanc~Author of: The Foxfire Chronicles
