Excellent review! I have people in my family who have anxiety disorders, OCD, and bipolar disorder. I have already downloaded a copy of the book, and I will certainly read it. Mental disorders are something that can't be cured by just taking a pill.

Thank you for your insightful review on "Orinthia: Book One - The Super Mental Series" by Most Everyone . This is an engrossing novel that tells the story of a group of people, both young and old, who fell victim to an eye-catching poster promising a free cure for a variety of mental disorders. They have no idea they'd be used as test subjects for the newly developed pill, "Potentia Auxilium," which is supposed to be the cure for their mental disorder. I'm especially drawn to Orinthia's character and her bravery in the face of adversity. This book is temporarily free on Amazon and I have put it on my shelf to read. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Thanks to the author and reviewer

I immensely enjoyed sampling this book. I can relate, to some extend, to the young super anxious Orinthia. Oh,! How difficult life would be with so much anxiety!

I love the way the author gives so much detail through all the thoughts going on in Orinthia's head.

This book is definitely going to be an interesting read.

Sounds like an interesting read. Looks like the book gives a positive outlook to dealing with and healing mental health issues rather than depicting an impending gloom. I am glad the review points out the importance given to all of the emotional responses expressed by the characters - happiness, sarcasm etc. Thank you for an interesting review.

The book seems to advocate for a shift in how we view mental health issues. It also views mental health conditions as a source of empowerment and strength rather than as a disease that has to be cured.

'Official Review: Orinthia' by Most Everyone provides us with the clarity of the book's content. The book tells the story of a group of people, both young and old, who fell victim to an eye-catching poster promising a free cure for a variety of mental disorders. The review describes the character of the protagonist. Readers would find it easy to comprehend each person's humor, sarcasm, and suffering. Love, family bonding, betrayal, and bravery are depicted in the book. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable to those suffering from problems they don't know how to handle!

I'm so impressed by how the author was able to capture the emotions of each character. I especially admire Orinthia's bravery. I can relate to her overthinking personality, and how it can have positive side effects. I'm definitely planning to read this book in the future, and I'm sure it will be an inspiring and enjoyable read.

It is disheartening see that humans could be used as guinea pig to test the effect of a new medication. Orinthia's bravery is quite admirable. Most people who overthink would most likely act in the same way and express similar outcome of anxiety just like Orinthia. This book offers an interesting read. Thanks for the review.

Mental health is an important issue in society today but is treated more like Cinderella and her stepmother.... sleep in the ashes, don't bother me, told their 'not right ' to participate in activities that everyone else is allowed to do. This book gives us an opportunity to get inside the mind of Orinthia and experience things that she has experienced, feel the way things look to her and maybe, just maybe help us to see people like Orinthia in a different more gentle way. As other characters are introduced into the book we see the evidence that not all mental health issues are the same and may need differing treatments as they progress. But the camaraderie of Orinthia and each one who enters the group and bonds in has a very authentic and working style that allows them to work together to try to stop the poster people. Such a marvelous amount of research as well as skillful use of all the resources available and an author who managed to put it together into perfection! This is a book everyone should read to experience a side of life that is as real as their own but instead of being nurtured like most of us is sent to 'sleep in the ashes' so we don't have to think about such things. Congratulations on BOTD for the author and a Review of the Day award from me. Your review was sensational!

Great concept of the book. It talks about mental disorder and use of medication. In this book few people are selected to be test subject for a new medicine that can cure mental disorder but what happens when really unravels. Get a copy of the book. Also I liked the resilience of orintha and her bravery.

Mental health is a very timely and relevant topic to be in a novel so I’m looking forward to digging into this one to know how the test called Potentia Auxilium will affect and change Orinthia’s life and relationships.

Orinthia's story and her internal struggle shows that although we all face flaws and anxieties, these can become sources of strength when we find support and connection in others.
