Light of Evanora is a high fantasy novel almost anyone can read. As someone who doesn't read a lot of fantasy, I was drawn into the characters instantly. Some fantasy novels lose my interest for either not world-building enough or world-building too much that I have trouble picturing everything. Light of Evanora has a healthy balance of both.

From love, heartbreak, devastation, and strength, this novel has it all. I was captivated by the main character, Xylia's, strength as well as her vulnerability. I was able to relate as well as be motivated and inspired by the characters. I can't wait to read the other books in the series to see how T R Nickel develops new characters and further develops the world.

I highly recommend this book!

This book is so amazing and I’m excited that it’s the first of a BIG series!!!! It not only includes the romantic dynamics that I love—that keep my heart strings pulled—but also the fantasy and fiction that I yearn for!!! What a creative mind and story!!!!! Definitely a must read!!!

If you like fantasy and want to feel like you're escaping to a new world this is your book!! It's a great read and very amazing character development! It reminds me of Lord of the rings.

This is an another level fantasy read. You’ll enter in a different world, a Realm of Limoria. A beautiful and worth exploring place.

The story revolves around a female named Xylia who was fighting against herself. With the coming of her mentee, her supporting partner, things and situations started to change. Who’s that person ? How did he help her to find herself in a better world ?

This is an interesting story, a full suspicious novel. It’s a little lengthy though but I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading it. The characterisation is beautiful. The story is captivating with an astonishing title. The language used by the author is simple and easy to understand. This book is recommended to the readers above 16 years of age.

Go and order your copy now ! Looking forward to see Xylia as more powerful characters in the sequel.

This book is a wild ride. A little Mistborn and something entirely its own. I really appreciate the LGBTQ+ rep in this as well as the friendships.

I really enjoyed this 1st book in a series. the world it takes place in is interesting and makes me want to learn more about it. the story itself i good. it had twists and turn that I didnt guess and had me wanting to keep coming back to it after I set it down just to find out what happens next.

this next part will have a spoiler:

It's the middle of the book that she kills the king completing her main objective up to that point. so you know that there's more thats going to happen but I wish there was a little more build up to the moment she kills the king. it feels like it happens all very quickly and then its kind of like "ok that happened, moving on." For a moment that is suppose to be so big and important I feel like the protagonist would have dwelled on the moment more and what it actually meant. I know as the reader that its only the middle of the book but Xylia doesnt. it didnt feel like she really regarded the moment as her objective is completed and maybe she should of reflected on it more and the importance of it?

I really liked the end of the book. the whole reveal about Rose and the Domi Nostrae. she finds out her parents are alive and it all finishes with a cliff hanger that makes me want to pick the next book immediately. overall I liked the book a lot.

If you like fantasy, or want to get into fantasy, then this is a great book to pick up, highly recommended read.
This story takes you on a magical, suspenseful, incredible journey. The characters are brought to life and you feel like your apart of the journey with the characters and their emotions, reactions and everything else they experience.

Once you start reading, you wouldn't want to put it down until there is nothing left to read. You are satisfied on all aspects with this book and will read it more than once, like I have.

This is the first book in the Legends of Limoria series, and it seems to be a series of standalone books within the same realm. A reader often expects a hero to have a tragic past, and in this case, the character's worst day happens at the start of the book. From that point every moment is a coin flip between fight or flight, refuge or trap, and ally or betrayer. We're given just enough magic and history of the world to get the messages across, yet yearn for a taste of more. It is an exciting read and it does make the reader curious for more secrets from this world.

DNF. I made it to chapter 3 before I had to put it down.

The concept is interesting and the characters have a the beginnings of something compelling. But the writing is not clear or consistent. Things are noticed and commented on that have no bearing on the plot or on the characters’ development, so alot of the text feels wasted. There are too many paragraphs of “this happened, then this happened, then this happened,” without variation or emotional or physical anchoring. The story could have used a few more rounds of editing before publication.

I bought this book from a local book shop, and I was pleasantly surprised! It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I loved reading every word of it. It was not at all what I was expecting, and is by far one of my favorite books I’ve read so far!

A great, fast-paced book with fantastic characters. I'm excited to continue the series.
