Review of Echoes of the Constellation
In Echoes of Constellation, Sage Chevalier narrates the captivating tale of a little child named Simon in an otherworldly realm where nightmares and dreams collide. By some strange twist of fate, Simon finds himself rescued by a star while on the brink of death. His star exposes him to a realm way beyond what he could have imagined, showing him the beauty of the Cosmos. He finds himself in an Academy for Seekers, where Stellar Seekers are trained to maintain the balance of The Circle Within. There, he must navigate new relationships, forge his own path, and fight his demons. What does this new life hold for him?
There are so many positive aspects to this book. Sage creates a magnificent fantasy novel with forceful, innovative words. Sage crafts realms that are nothing short of fantastical. Simon continued to marvel, jaw slack, about the beauty of the world he had been exposed to. Echoes of the Constellation is a beautiful artistry of words, painting realms beyond human imagination.
Though the book speaks of dreams, it deals with a lesson or two about reality. Humans are held back by some form of mortal attachment or another from attaining their full potential. It could be fear, guilt, family, or insecurity. Though it may not physically manifest in illusions or physically bind us, it holds us back from being our best.
Little wonder, the first trial to becoming a seeker was the Trial of Blood. Simon, Xari, Bale, Verilan, and every other intending candidate must do away with their mortal attachments and vulnerabilities. This relates closely to self-discovery and awareness. Simon and his friends serve as symbols of how we experience life differently after detachment. We are no longer clouded by our personal restraints and vulnerabilities; our senses are sharpened, and our strength is renewed.
There is only one negative aspect I noticed about this book. It was not professionally edited. It has grammar errors, capitalization blunders, and spelling mistakes. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. Notwithstanding the editing, the writing captivated me, and it also brought into perspective the incredible feats a person can accomplish with good friends by their side. I recommend this book to lovers of fantasy, supernatural, and mystery fiction. This is an absolute must-read for them.
