I love audiobooks!! Being that I do not usually read many fantasy novels, I think the audiobook will be best for me. The idea of parallel worlds sounds unique, and the storyline sounds engaging. Hopefully, this is one I can also add to our classroom book recommendations board! Thank you so much for you review! :-)

frankly speaking this book seems to me an imaginary story to comprehend but I must confess that the highly 4_4stars rating of this book gives me a rethink to careful read the book to it's fullest

Fascinated by the fact that it's an audio book. From the review point of view, the book sounds adventurous and intriguing enough to want to read. Thanks for the review.

The mirror world sounds so cool! I want to know more about it and whether Will finds his twin! I don’t read much fantasy but this sounds worth it.

I do enjoy fantasy novels but not all. The Crystilleries of Echoland by Dew Pellucid isn't my cup of tea but I will recommend it. Great review!

There exists a parallel world. A land of fantasy, where our mirrored images live, and there is a book known as the "Gravestone Book," that tells the whereabouts of the people who disappeared from this world. The Crystilleries of Echoland is a fantastical tale of real and translucent beings.

I've been intrigued by this book for a while. It seems like such an interesting concept. I like that the brother goes in search of his sister. The graphic violence doesn't seem too bad, and I'd love to hear it as an audiobook.

I love when an audio book is well done and it sounds like this one hits the nail on the head. Between the action, parallel worlds, and the young adult fantasy premise, this sounds like a gem for the genre.

Great review. This sounds like an exciting, action packed, fantasy novel which though it is geared towards middle grade readers but can be enjoyed by any age. The premise is fascinating and I can’t wait to read this book. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is an amazing coming of age young adult fantasy full of action and adventure. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a unique OnlineBookClub review that highlighted the best of the book. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats on being the BOTD.
