Blessing Chi Peculiar's review of Orinthia by Most Everyone touches on something I think a good story must do: get the user engaged and relate. The reviewer writes:
For each character, I could sense their emotions. As I read, I had no trouble visualizing every scene. Orinthia's feelings most closely resembled mine.
This sounds like an amazing read

Some people are just pure wicked to use innocent people as test subjects. I wonder how they were able to evade the side effects.

This is a very good book to read. One because of the subject matter, Mental health. Noting that Mental health is an issue of great concern today. Two, because of the cure. It is interesting to follow up on the cure that has interested the characters in this book.

It is scary to think that a company would use people as guinea pigs for untested products. Mental disorders are difficult to deal with and I can imagine people willing to try a new cure. Thank you for your informative review.

While I find this a comprehensive and interesting review, I feel that the reviewer provides too many details.
Telling us her mother died could be a spoiler.
Nevertheless, the story and characters, from the reviewer's perspective, make one think the author did a good job.

I believe reading about emotional hardships and challenges often reveals the inner workings of the mind—how it perceives people, circumstances, and the world around us. This understanding illuminates how our thoughts and behaviors are shaped, often without our conscious awareness. A good book to shed light on these complex issues.

Blessing Chi Peculiar's review of Orinthia highlights the story's uniqueness by addressing it as a mental health inquiry upon the journey of Orinthia through the panoply of its discourse. It is interesting how such a book activates a suspenseful train of events surrounding the mystery pill- Potentia Auxilium- to meditate upon anxiety, self-acceptance, and resilience. I like how the processing of Orinthia and Coy is brought forth: they take refuge in each other since they see their weak points in each other. Blessing mentions Orinthia's courage to fight even turmoil due to mourning which declares her character equally relatable and awe-inspiring. The book teaches that "all that glitters is not gold", a powerful message, and the excitement of the reviewer indicates that Orinthia may be a really good read.

"Despite the grimness of the book, the presentation was spot-on, delving into the complex world of mental health using suspense while creating assertive heroines and logic reduced to experience. The bond between Orinthia and Coy was properly executed, and the mind-boggling approach in which the “Potentia Auxilium” pill is unveiled is really exciting. The book demonstrates Orinthia’s courage and inspires readers to keep holding on by saying, “not everything that glitters is gold.” This novel is not only inspiring but a guide to some of life’s most trying moments."

I love this review, I was captured by the first words, mental health issues, but as I read line after line, I discovered this book had more to give aside health issues. I'll be sure to give this a read.
