Review of Sara's Fear
Posted: 27 Apr 2023, 07:38
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Sara's Fear" by K C Roy.]
Elementals have always been there. They could control the flow of life's energies, called essence. They have always been worshipped, until the tides changed and greed took over. They took all the power for themselves and used other elementals for their illegal businesses. Sara was the baby of two of the strongest and rarest elementals, and though it wasn't definite that she would receive power from her parents, the council wasn't going to take a chance and let them go. Sara's parents decided to disappear and raise her as a normal child. They decided they would assess the situation should her powers manifest; otherwise, they would continue as is.
Sara has an amazing friend and protector at school who made sure she wasn't bullied. But as with any high school, Sara struggled with a few things. Add in personal uncertainties, terrifying nightmares, and unexpected attacks on her, and it just blew the world she knew out of its orbit. Would Sara's power manifest? Would her parents open up about her heritage? How is she going to handle everything, and why is she being attacked? If you love magic, mysteries, and fighting, you are going to enjoy this book. I know I did!
If you are sensitive to blood and gore, this book is most definitely not for you. But if you absolutely love an epic magic story with excellent descriptions, fully developed characters, and a hint of romance, this book is for you! I loved everything about this book, and the author did an awesome job with his writing skills. I was never unsure about anything, as the descriptive aspects of the book left nothing to be unclear about. I was completely engulfed in this book from the start. I could connect with this sixteen-year-old girl struggling socially in school, and I could feel her emotions when her world imploded on her. This book was absolutely phenomenal, and I want more!
I would rate Sara's Fear by K. C. Roy 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason I am not giving this book a perfect score is due to the multiple errors I found. The errors showed me that this book still needs proofreading and editing. There was nothing else I disliked about it. This is only the first book in the Elemental series, and I am looking forward to reading the next book. I am fully invested in finding out what happens next.
This book starts off in the young adult genre, but you realize very quickly that it is more suited to the magical fantasy genre. This book felt very realistic while I was reading it, which also helped me connect with it and the characters from the get-go. I applaud you, K. C. Roy, for your absolutely fabulous and breath-taking book! I did say I wanted more, right?
