The book is absolutely amazing. It's easy to read and understand as it brings the idea of reincarnation and soulmate clear. It's really good and i have to get a copy and read.

This book, Enlightened, has an interesting concept. The narrative has an engaging tone that should appeal to fans of YA fiction. The author creates a fantasy world where the students learn valuable lesson with the help of a guide. The novel is fast-paced and keeps the reader actively engaged as they follow Harmony through different time-periods. I can see that Harmony is starting to make connections between what she thinks and does. She is a fascinating main character so it will be interesting to see how her character develops through the story. The cliffhanger – I hope it’s a good one.

I love to read YA books. The fact that this is a romance is a bonus. Also, I love the unique concept, especially the way Earth is portrayed as a school for souls.

Thank you for the amazing review.

Sounds like this book is very engaging based on the review. Personally I’m not a fan of YA fantasy or books that don’t end and have sequels. I think I’ll pass on this one.

I like books with excellent world building. However, the reincarnation theme is not for me and I will pass on this one. Thanks for your review.

I love fantasy and this book brings it out very clearly. From the review I can also see that there's detailed description of the events that happened which captures one's attention. This is the kind of book I look forward to reading.

Sounds like a great YA novel. I think it would be interesting to follow Harmony’s journey. A little bit of history doesn’t hurt either. Thank you for your informative review.

Thank you so much for elaborate review of this book on fantasy world based on souls and reincarnation. This book seems to end in a cliffhanger so that it intrigues to read the next part as well. It is quite interesting to note that Veronica takes regular reincarnation due to her soul mate Kaleb makes her end her life early in every reincarnation, but on the contrary she wants to lead at least one successful life on earth.

life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
