Thanks for the detailed review. I do love shapeshifting stories, however, aliens are not my cup of tea. The world building sounds good though. I might try this book.

I'm not usually one for Sci-Fi books, however, I recently have given a couple a read and have enjoyed them. I am looking forward to checking this one out a little more.

I enjoy reading YA books as well as sci-fi and fantasy, so this seems to be right up my alley. I appreciate books with strong female characters (even alien ones) and great world-building as well. I look forward to reading about the adventures that Sophia, luna, Darva, and Brill have together. Wonderfully detailed review, I enjoyed reading it!

This book is an adventurous coming-of-age story filled with action. With themes like friendship and prejudice, I think this book will be interesting; however, I think I'll pass on this one.

This book sounds so interesting! Imagine a fantasy world where we can turn into animals. I love the premise the character is trying to fit in because it seems that is one of life’s greatest struggles.

I look forward to reading this book due to this excellent review. I am into Sci-Fi myself, and the fact you imply this is about an empowered woman intrigued me.

I love this story already! I am enjoying this tale of alien shape shifters. I would like to find out what became of Sophia Violet's real parents. Do all the alien girls have the ability to become invisible or is it just her friend? Guess I will have to read the book.

Sophia Violet and the Fiery Orb by Evangeline Greene sounds good. Mystery, adventure, and wolves are going to make a fantasy together. Congratulations on #botd.

This is an amazing book that features mystery and magic.

The main character, Sophie, makes the story sound interesting as she transforms into various animals.

Lastly, thank you for the review.

I enjoyed how descriptive the author made the entire story. The characters are very well developed and the scenery sounds magnificent. I generally am not a fan of this genre but will give this book a try.

Adventure and epic world-building are what I love in my stories. I'm glad that the book portrays these traits. I've never tried coming-of-age books, and this sounds like a promising story. I like that the book has empowering message and has no profanity. I will read the book. Lovely review.

What a great review! I am looking forward to reading Sophia Violet's story. To find out that she is not a normal girl but an alien capable of shape shifting, and have friends who can do the same, must have been a thrill. I'm glad Sophia is a delightful girl as it makes the book an easy read.

I like the close friendship between the four girls, Luna Sophia, Brill and Darva as they go in search of the missing orb that will help them restore their planet's energy. Nice review.
