Here is the synopsis for Reflection: The Uishanole (Book 1 of The Reflection Series): Phoebe, a thirteen year old girl with autism, struggles trying to fit in with the public, interacting with people, dealing with bullies and handling life overall. However, one night, her troubles get replaced with even far greater problems. She gets kidnapped into a foreign dimension of seven distinct alien races of reptilian-like beings on a planet called Yuetsion within a different universe. The aliens reveal to her that she’s their only hope in saving them from the powerful wicked alien race, the Xeffizens. They believe since she’s the uishanole, a reflection/doppelganger/copy, of a deceased princess of the Veshael race, she has the ability to wield one of the two most powerful magical scepters in Yuetsion, the Vinston Scepter and use it to defeat the Xeffizens, who’s king wields the other most powerful scepter in Yuetsion, the Monston Scepter. The only way Phoebe will be allowed back to her dimension is by fulfilling her captors’ mission with the support of unique outer worldly individuals who team up with her throughout her journey. Will Phoebe succeed in surviving through the countless perils and defeat the all-powerful Xeffizen race in order for her to be reunited with her family? Will her autism weigh her down or be to her advantage for her quest?

Lefaivre • Report Post by Jachike Samuelson » 30 Jan 2021, 05:56 [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Reflection" by Jordan T. Lefaivre.] 4 out of 4 stars Sitting aboard an airship, thirteen-year-old Phoebe ponders on the events that have culminated in her being held captive with her kitten, Mysty. As she recollects the previous night's events, it gradually becomes clear that she is in a completely different dimension within a foreign universe, on a mysterious planet called Yuetsion. Scared, confused, apprehensive, and lonely, she will have to find the strength and fortitude within herself to accept the friendship of strange beings while searching for a way back home. To get back to Earth, though, she has to go through some challenging situations and face battles that aren't hers, but her adventure has only begun. Who are her captors? Why is she kidnapped, and what do they want with her? Will she ever find her way home? This book promises adventure and intrigue at every turn. Reflection: The Vinston Scepter by Jordan T. Lefaivre was an exciting book to read. It's the second book in the Reflection series, which chronicles the fight of the Veshaels to free themselves from the oppression of the Xeffizens. I really enjoyed this story. How the author described the beings and places on this magical planet made it easy to create a mental picture of Yuetsion. Lefaivre's world-building also saw him use made-up words and names, like uinashole, Dixidin, Gebawns, Qelphy, and dwentem. This practice helped to add to the otherworldly feel this story had. The story was well developed, and it was easy to follow Phoebe on her mission with her newfound friends. Each of the supporting characters, like Hezkale, Cernin, Hilmina, and Yorgo, was well accounted for in the story. Their devotion to Phoebe and the mission was a theme that resonated with me on a personal level. I especially liked how Phoebe was able to maintain her childlike innocence even in such grievous circumstances. Her innocence, childlike trust, and emotional maturity were all exhibited simultaneously, which was a joy to see. This was a testament to the author's writing proficiency. I also liked that Lefaivre put a little bit of himself in the story in the way Phoebe was autistic. There was nothing I can say I did not like about this story. It was well written and exceptionally well edited; I didn't find any grammatical or typographical errors, which is rare for any book. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars due to the author's writing excellence, the depth and detail in Phoebe's character and journey, and the supporting characters' sufficiency. Since I didn't hate anything about this tale, there was no reason to give it a lesser rating. I would gladly recommend it to all lovers of adventure and fiction.

The action scenes are intense and massive, the idyllic scenes serve as a refreshing break, and the conversational scenes are able to convey new details about the characters and their relationships to one another. Jordan continues to tease new elements of the world of Yuetsion in his novels: how Qwitsuls work, the landscapes and societies, and the connections that tie Phoebe to this world. I am very curious to learn more, and to see this story from beginning to end.

This third book in the series is a page turner. I couldn't put it down. The character of Phoebe is the perfect protagonist. Her shyness and refusal to see herself as a hero make her relatable to the audience the book is written for. The fact that she isn't perfect and uses a disability that some might see as a hindrance to her advantage makes for an excellent read.

Excellent use of descriptive imagery throughout. I couldn't put it down.”
This is definitely my least favorite ending. Poor Gregory. I certainly can't let it all end like this, especially after everything Gregory has gone through. By the way, what is up with the positive, upbeat, pleasant music in the end credits? It doesn't match the tone of this ending at all. The pleasant music after Gregory's negative fate was like the makers of this game put a dose of dark comedy in the first ending of this game. Note: Stay tuned for more endings to come.
