Generally the who we are in reality refuses to confront the other self through the mirror. At times we look at ourselves through the window and we really wonder if we are who we are. This review gives me the conviction that a parallel world would enable people face their fears as Will does in the book through the review I've read. I believe it's a must read piece...

The possible existence of a parallel world always grabs my attention. The Chrystilleries of Echoland sounds like a touching book. I love that it's a coming of age story and that it involves young people. I also love the mystery. It's sad that children go missing in the book but the aspect of magic makes it worth the read. Great review!

I love mystery thrillers. They always have a way to keep the suspense going. This book has such an interesting plot, with the parallel worlds and rescue mission. Good one from the author. Congratulations on being the book of the day! Nice review.

I’m curious as to how bits like action scenes play out in audio books relative to the reading experience. It must surely be different, as is the case with movie versions of books. Anyway, the parallel worlds in this case relate a little differently from than is usually presented: one mirrors the other, the original one, rather than being an alternative.

The plot sounds very interesting. I enjoy fantasy with parallel worlds so I'm sure this book will be engaging.

The part of the review that revealed the book to be about parallel worlds reminded me of the movies Stranger Things. I totally enjoy the storyline from the review and I'm sure I'd enjoy the main book also cause, I'm a huge fan of paranormal and fiction so, I'll give the book a go. Congrats BOTD.

An intriguing storyline! I hope Will was able to locate his twin sister in the end. Although it was a fictional book, the character development made me more connected to the subject. Congrats on BOTD.

A parallel world where your doppleganger lives sounds fascinating. The concept of echoes and sounds is quite unique and I look forward to seeing it play out in the book. Congratulations on BOTD.

Never listened to an audiobook. But sounds fun to have the reader using different tones. It breaks monotony making it interesting audiobook. Great review!

Interesting. I don't usually like fantasy type books but the idea of a parallel world sounds fascinating. I'll add this one to my reading list.
