Order of Vespers (The Vespers Chronicles Book 1) by Matilda Reyes – Review by Carrie Reed
Order of Vespers by Matilda Reyes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Order of Vespers by Elyse Reyes is a very unique book. The story was original and something I haven’t heard before, so I was definitely into it.
Jasper Andrews is the main character, and she can’t seem to catch a break. The poor girl deals with one crisis after another, due to the special powers she has. She has this special ability with fire and at first, I think she’s a little off but, because of her powers she has a “friend” that talks to her. Jasper is told she is going to be sent away from her family. Once separated from her family she is on the run from the police for a few days, as she kind of blew up the police station where she was being held as a suspected murderer.
While on the run she is caught by people who claim they can help her, and they are just like her. There she finds out she is part of an organization called Order of Vespers and they she will be the one responsible to save humankind.
Jasper tries to adapt to the turn her life has taken and makes a group of people that she can finally call friends in her hectic lonely life. Mikael is the one she is closest to because he has the same power as her and Jordy, who shows her defensive moves and how to control her anger so her power isn’t released unnecessarily.
Soon it feels like everyone is conspiring against Jasper in a weird turn of events that gets her almost killed. She comes to find out their compound is under attack and she realizes it is now up to her to save everyone she has come to care about.
This book is very fantastic with the characters and their special powers, and the storyline. I was drawn in instantly and couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. I hope there will be another installment by this author, and I give this book 5 stars! This book seems geared more toward YA readers but as an adult I fell for this book!
