The Crystilleries of Echoland by Dew Pellucid is a fantasy novel about the adventures of a boy named William Cleary. Will, as he is called, was kidnapped along with his twin sister. Only Will came back from the mysterious land he disappeared into, with no memory of how he escaped. His mom and dad had been trying since he came back to bring back their daughter too.
Ten years later, he jumps into a pond in his backyard from which he came back with a falcon and a wolf, which later becomes his pets. He wakes up later in a place that looks like the small forest near his house's backyard. He sees his pets, now in human form; but not entirely human. They are echoes, a see-through boy and girl. They guide him to Echoland, the place where he had disappeared ten years ago. Will he be able to find his lost sister and help free Echoland from the dark powers that have captured it?

Dew Pellucid has created a magical world in which every human has its corresponding echo and every echo has its sound(humans).
Echoes live in constant fear of the Law Of Death, the law that the false king brought into power. Will, along with his echo, has to face life-threatening dangers to save Echoland.

The story is intended for young readers, as it has no profanity or erotic scenes at all but there are some mildly violent scenes in the story. The story is well-edited, as there was not even a single spelling or grammar mistake that interrupted the intriguing story. The writing is easily understandable, humorous and captivating. The book is intended for a broad audience as young and adult readers could enjoy it very much. I was fortunate enough to have this book as my first ever review because the story is intriguing.

The only downside of the story is that Will gets accustomed to drastic changes fast, for example, when Will found that there was a parallel world that no human has seen before, he got familiarised to it in mere seconds. But that does not hinder the delight of the story in any way. Other than that, the story has no negative issues.

I rate the book 4 Out of 4 stars . The writing is descriptive, the plot is captivating and there were no grammar errors. I would recommend this book to readers who like mythology and action.
