"Orinthia: Book One - The Super Mental Series" seems like a deeply engaging and reflective novel. It tackles mental health themes in a unique way by exploring the risks and ethical implications of experimental treatments, all while telling a story that’s rooted in emotion and character growth.

Orinthia sounds like a bold and courageous woman although the book's cover doesn't look too appealing. But I wonder how in her mental disorder state, she could still summon the courage to put an end to the usage of the pill. Congratulations on BOTD!!

Orinthia's character embodies the struggles of many individuals with mental health issues who often feel like outsiders. Her journey resonates because it sheds light on the isolation and self-doubt that can accompany mental health challenges. Nice review.

M.E. has written a stunner, and I love the cover of the book too. I can imagine being promised a cure for a mental ailment only to end up as a test subject for a pill. Potentia Auxilium is a name I find wonderful; it gives the pill a science-breaker aura. As for Orinthia—does this pill have the potential to change the world? How does it affect Orinthia? I would love to get through this book. Congrats on Book of the Day :techie-studyingbrown: !

Mental health has become a worldwide pandemic of sorts so I am really glad that more author's are coming up with writings to help those who find themselves affected by mental issues."Orinthia" from the review is a well written book with well thought characters who are looped into trying out a drug created to solve all kinds of mental issues,but as we all know ,no one pill can solve everything and they soon begin to struggle to overcome side effects of the drug. Orinthia stands out on how she manages to mask her issues well even after the loss of her mother ,Her courage despite trust issues, betrayal are running themes coupled with love , and family bonds . This is a captivating Manual for everyone ,but especially those who struggle with mental issues, great review.

“Orinthia: Book One – The Super Mental Series” by Most Everyone is a novel about a group of people that fell victim to a very attractive poster that promised a free cure for several mental disorders. Unfortunately, they do not know that they will be used as test subjects for a recently developed pill named “Potentia Auxilium” a supposed cure for their mental disorders. The main character named Orinthia is one of this group. She is a young lady that believes she does not belong wherever she goes. She is an overthinker that believes she is judged for the way she dresses, looks, talks and walks. One needs to read the book to find out if this “miracle” pill actually works for Orinthia. The psychiatrists are skeptical about this pill and they do not believe one pill could be the cure for mental disorders.

I appreciate that mental health issues are on the rise based on the literature on the subject I have read. I appreciate the author took time to share her experiences on mental health with the reader. Thanks for the review.

I read the sample, and Orinthia was a mess. When she meets strangers, she knows them only by their feet and legs. She fidgets and sweats, crosses her legs and recrosses them, and always overthinks. I hoped "Potentia Auxilium" would be a cure for her mental disorder, but according to the reviewer, Orinthia and several others are just unwitting test subjects for an experimental drug. I enjoyed the review. I love books about mental health, psychoanalysis, etc., and this one sounds interesting.

The review showed the essence of the book and its ideas well. Anxiety and overthinking I can relate to. It seems that the author did a good job in introducing the characters and presenting themes such as bravery, love, and betrayal. It sounds like an interesting read. Congrats on BOTD

You wrote in a sweet writing style. It was easygoing and friendly.
I don't think this is my kind of book though. I don't like reading books about mental illness or the said theme. But good job on the review! :mrgreen:

Anxiety isn’t taken seriously enough in my opinion. Looking forward to reading this and getting to know Orinthia
