Breksta's Academy by Natasha Quay is a captivating book that delves into the transformative journey of a young girl named Breksta. Following a traumatic event in her life, Breksta finds herself at "The Academy," where she discovers her mother's identity as a Dreamer. The story reveals the longstanding conflict between Dreamers and non-Dreamers. What goes on at the academy? What journey lies ahead for Breksta as she navigates the challenges she faces at the academy? Will the Dreamers and non-Dreamers be able to live peacefully amongst themselves? Read this amazing book to find out.

I enjoyed this book as it captivated me with its well-developed characters and intricately woven storyline. The friendship between Hestia and Breksta was particularly compelling, and I found Icarus' character to be quite intriguing. The exploration of themes such as loyalty, friendship, resilience, and self-discovery was skillfully executed, and the narrative was filled with unexpected plot twists that engrossed me from beginning to end. The book effectively illustrates how war impacts the lives of children and the future of our world.

I disliked Hestia's mother, the academy director, as she was portrayed as a ruthless, authoritative figure and played a huge influence in shaping the lives of the children as her loyal followers. Also, the relentless pursuit of authority and persecution of the Dreamers added a disturbing aspect to the story.

Therefore, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because the internal conflict in the book adds depth to the plot. Although the portrayal of the director as a ruthless and authoritative figure oppressing the Dreamers may be unsettling, it still intensifies the overall narrative tension, and this book was exceptionally well-written and edited.

It gives me great pleasure to recommend this book to individuals who enjoy reading books about magic, intriguing plots, and fantasy.
