Featured Review: Prophase: A Present Tale by Mitchel Street

[Richard Ukim]

Fictive novels are not my thing. I wouldn't know what to make out from this book as it doesn't quite seem inspiring enough to me. But I do appreciate Piper—the protagonist—having the guts to fend for herself and her younger sibling. It matures her to the best version of herself. That's the moral lesson there for me.

[Rodel Barnachea]

First of all, both the title and the cover art of this book are amazing. I like the incorporation of a scientific term/concept into a fantasy tale. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I'm very interested to the book even though I didn't get the time to finish it but I will do it later.

That's the story that I want to hear

[SweetSourSalty AndSpicy]

It seems like a coming-of-age fantasy story that looks into relevant teenage concerns like self-discovery, identity, family dysfunction, and peer acceptance. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

[Gabrielle Sigaki]

This fantasy book seems to bring a coming of age story of a girl named Piper who seems to obtain magical abilities. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

[Reva Parker]

Thanks for your great review. While I do sometimes like coming-of-age books, I'm not into fantasy books usually. From the sample, it seemed good, but I'm going to pass on this one.

This novel is about a teenage girl who tried her best to survive and live a normal life. It just reminds me of "Anne of Green Gables", which is also about how a girl grown up. The difference is that Prophase is a present tale, there are two worlds in it. The central opinions and values are the same. It's a beautiful book and worth to read it.

[Cecil Ebere]

It's naturally beautifull,the book really is.The review gives a glimpse of treasures in the book,a fantasy novel full of wonders. Like Piper,we should know that great destinies rarely have smooth paths,and that the catalysts for the necessary change we crave are the tribulations of life. Nice job!

[Raquel Sojo]

It's intriguing to face self-discovery in a world of magic and fantasy. The disclaimer about aspects that are underdeveloped to the point of seeming forced is very helpful. Thanks for this honest review; however, I'm not a big fan of this genre so I'll pass.

[Amprye]

This genre is definitely not one I usually pick, but I appreciate the fantasy elements. I appreciate a strong female lead as well. Congratulations on book of the day!

Piper sounds like an incredible character. Surely her role in her brother life, Charlie would be a changing one. I would love to add this to my reading list, a good slice of life novel and wonderful review.

[Gabriela Contreras]

I think I am not the target audience for this book; however, I feel like Piper is a relatable and likable character (yes, I know I can't do what she does and I would have died in that accident) I'll add it to my list, maybe I'm not a teenager anymore but who says I can't enjoy coming of age books?

[Akangbe Opeyemi]

I am a fan of fantasy books, I think I like the storyline of this book. I love your review

[mrlefty0706]

This is a story about Piper, a girl that lost her mother to cancer at a young age, and her friends Lisa and Josh, and her brother Charlie. It looks like Piper has a supernatural gift that has helped her avoid danger and has saved her and their friends from a serious car accident. This is a coming-of-age sci-fi book that based on the sample and official review is a book to read. Very good review.

[Huini Hellen]

Sorry about the poor plot development, which led to some sections appearing as though they were forced. Thank you for the wonderful review.
