" The Wandering Stars" by S.P. Mittson

" The Wandering Stars" by S.P. Mittson is a fantasy book and the first installment in the Shifter Trance series. Before delving into the depth of the book, I'll share my initial impressions and progression with this gripping story.

From the outset, I found the narrative relatable, touching on themes of life around family. The introduction of characters like Eloise Hector's mom evoked a personal connection, and at times, I felt like my own mother was expressing herself within the pages.

The introduction of Eloise Hector is brilliantly written, showcasing the author's skill with words. Kayden Parsons, a character well-dressed with a fit physique at a young age, adds depth to the story. Clara , Eloise's best friend, is a captivating character with a narrative that I thoroughly enjoyed. Noni, a character both cute and mysterious, adds an interesting dynamic to the storyline and many more ...like Hannah Robin...so on.

As I delved deeper into the book, the story try to transformed into a fantasy realm filled with imagination, powers, parallel worlds, darkness, suspense, mystery, horror, fear, energy, and cosmic elements but The writing style is so  simple and lucid . However, I couldn't help but feel that the story, with its sense of romance and creative attempts, leaned more towards a normal fiction narrative than a true fantasy novel.

The three-fourths of the book impressed me with its marvelous character development and well-executed plot points. However, one drawback for me was the book's classification as a fantasy novel. Typically, fantasy books establish correlations between worlds, similar to examples like "Stranger Things". , with smooth transformation but Unfortunately, this book lacked the necessary connectivity. The transition of Eloise losing her mother and her subsequent energy/power struggles in the shadowland lacked clarity, leaving a gap in the narrative.

Despite this, the book excelled in characterization, storytelling, and execution. While it may not consistently adhere to typical fantasy tropes, it remains an enjoyable and gripping read. I eagerly anticipate the subsequent parts of the series, hoping the author incorporates more imaginative elements into the fantasy world.

Overall just wanna say , I thoroughly enjoyed "The Wandering Stars." It's undeniably gripping, although it may not reach the pinnacle of a traditional fantasy novel. Regardless, it's a compelling read that I wholeheartedly recommend.
