Riven Calyx by Mark Leon Collins is full of mystical and magical things like wizards, witches, etc. Even it has a good amount of adventures and dangerous situations. I would love to read it, and congratulations on #BOTD.

The mystical elements, mind games, and the storyline of forbidden love sound appealing. However, I’m not into long battle scenes.

I can't wait to read this one and feel emotions it evokes; feeling Mordrak's pain, the team's fear as they face remarkable adversaries, as well as the tender and forbidden love between Adriselle and Astocath. Congrats on the BOTD.

In reading the sample pages, I found the fight scenes long and intense. I will be skipping this one, but I enjoyed your thorough review.

This is a mystical adventure story. I like how the author exquisitely derived a well-written novel. Mordrak has a big brave heart to conquer his fear and defended his equally courageous knight, Fellis, against their mystic enemies.

Thank you for this review! It is of great help to me in deciding if I'll like the book or not. Particularly, I liked your summary since it is detailed enough for a reader to determine if he/she/they will enjoy reading the story. I want to say that I am a bit fascinated with the "mind games" the book incorporates. Congratulations to the author, too, for BOTD!
