I loved this! I read the first 2 in this series and this one didn’t disappoint! Lots of twists and turns that I didn’t expect. I love Wilf’s and Myra’s characters. Both have been on journeys of self discovery and in this book they discover a lot about themselves. It’s a fantastic book; well written and can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us.

Lyall – Review by Emma Samways
First of all, if you haven’t read the first two book in this series, you will definitely want to pick them up!!! C. B. Lyall is such a unique author that tells stories in a way that just sits you right down in the plot and takes you along for the journey. You really feel like you’re in the adventure right along with Wilf, and finding things out as he does. This is the perfect YA for anyone who enjoys Magic, coming of age stories, family drama, or finding identity overtures.
Wilf continues in his quest to be finally free from all the magic that seems to be unwilling to let him go. Unfortunately it looks like he will not be able to return to his “Normal” life as he would wish it to be. What I love about the third book in the series, is watching Wilf attempt to control the magic that he hates, in order to possibly be rid of it for good. It brings up a lot of conflicting feeling for the reader, especially if you err on the side of enjoying magic LOL.
When Wilf finds a piece of the shattered Mages Crystal, he starts to question so many things. The biggest heartbreak is watching Wilf’s affection for Katryna come into question. Their love story is so cute and sweet to watch unfold, and now I’m finding everything I loved about them come into question.
Overall there are so many choices Wilf has had to make. Watching him struggle through forever abandoning his dream to return to “normal” or allowing magic and Katryna to perish *sad*.
Thank you to the author for this incredibly fun series, and sharing it with the world. Lovely characters, fully dynamic quests in a very streamlined easy to understand world, and just wonderfully exciting to read!

Lyall – Review by Taylor K Stephenson
Teenage Wilf only wants to be a teenager, live a normal life in Hong Kong, and play soccer but gets thrust suddenly into the world of magic. He is on the adventure of a lifetime when he is called upon to use his magic. Witches and wizards are along for the ride as he finds himself in the realm of magic which was once divided between the two and now everyone are Mages. Traveling through dark and foggy forests to save his love Katryna and the other witches, he meets many other incredible characters along the way. I love how all the characters have distinct personalities and come to life off the pages, but my favorite must be the cranky witch Ermentrude. The adventures that Wilf takes are incredible through the three books in this series and I highly recommend reading them from the beginning. Who doesn’t want to be a magical being and have fairy tale adventures. The book is well written and easy to read and full of fun. The settings are so well written that I can almost feel the fog swirling around my legs and the damp and drafty air of the old workshops and buildings. I can hear the Watchers as they come crashing in the dark and can totally see myself fighting to do the right thing just like Wilf himself. Definitely a must read for those YA readers who love magic, adventure, and a hero that you can get behind and cheer for!

B. Lyall- Review by Stephanie Driskill
Wilf has had so much happen in the last two books, that this third and final book brings so much to an interesting ending. He basically has to choose between going back to Earth, or stay in the magic realm, and help keep magic alive. He has to go through a lot of adventures to find his way, figure out his destiny, his magic, and figure out his love for Katryna. This was a great third book for the trilogy. Thank you for all you did for this trilogy!

Lyall – Review by Ashley Hasting
This story has come full circle from Wilf in the first book not wanting to be part of the magical to being immersed in his magical abilities to help save the girl he loves and the Magical Realm. This journey has strengthened his abilities and him as a whole. Now with the Magical Realm hanging in the balance of things, Wilf has to decision if expanding his abilities is the best risk to take. Besides picking this one to read because of the magical witch world, I was also interested in this YA read as my daughter is a big fan of fantasy stories and I know she will absolutely love this series! It is a great character building seeing a teen deeming to be who he wants to be and becoming who he is meant to be. Lyall has done such an amazing job with developing strong characters that are very relatable even with the magical aspect!

Lyall – Review by Jennifer Ramos
Absolutely loved this second book. Wilf starts making the realization that going back to his normal soccer loving days may be over. After finding cure for Beauty Virus and now dealing with the effects of the corruption of the veil that protects witches and wizards from the outside world. In the midst of all these other things, his stepsister, Myra, who needs to be found for her crimes and disappears. As all of these challenges come about, Wilf is then accused of harming the veil and as their union becomes stronger with Katryna, evil lurks them and she gets kidnapped. Now Wilf is on a mission to save the Magical Realm and the one he truly cares for. Cannot wait for the next one!

Lyall – Review by Jennifer Ramos
Wilf appears to be a typical teenage boy living in Hong Kong whose fixation is devoted to playing soccer and making it big. He puts all his energy and focus on his sport rather than his realization of his magical family and his destiny of being a wizard. As he avoids this part of him, he doesn’t have full control of his magic, which his father is insistent on for him to start his training. Unfortunately reality comes to light with the sudden and unexpected loss of his father. Now with others coming to him for help, he may need to consider his future. The other unfortunate occurrence is that of a virus that is ridding witches of their abilities and replacing it with beauty. Now as he becomes close to one of the witches, Katryna, the virus affects her. Wilf does discover his father’s journal may hold the secret of undoing his horrible virus. Absolutely getting to know these characters and with the cliffhanger, I cannot wait to continue reading to see what happens next!

Lyall – Review by Jennifer Ramos
I have been waiting for this book for quite some time, and I was so excited to pick it up that I devoured the entire thing in one sitting. Sorry not sorry to my real-life responsibilities! This entire series was just absolute perfection. I’m guilty of picking up series out of order, but you will definitely want to read the first two prior to picking this one up. If you don’t then you will be a little lost, and you won’t get the full experience either. We continue our magical and suspenseful journey with Wilf and Katryna with a great deal of twists and turns that caused me to read faster than I thought humanly possible. Wilf is trying to get to the bottom of harnessing the full potential of his magic but finds it’s not so easy with wizards and witches wreaking havoc in the Magical Realm. I thoroughly enjoyed the last installment of The Virus of Beauty series. The flow of the story was utterly wonderful, and I loved connecting with both Wilf and Katryna. It’s very apparent that C.B. Lyall dedicated so much time creating this beautiful world and relatable characters. I highly recommend picking up this entire series and getting lost in their reality!

Lyall – Review by Shannen Kern
Vassal of Magic is Book Three in The Virus of Beauty Series. The book picks up where the first two left off so I highly recommend reading them first or you may feel a bit lost. The story continues with Wilf as he struggles with his magical powers. As much as he wants to be a normal teenager, he must make the decision to tap farther into his magical abilities or allow an ancient magical realm to perish if he stands back and does not intervene. The problem is that he is unsure how to fully harness his magical powers and that makes things a bit trickier. The stakes are higher for Wilf this time and time is running out for Wilf to make a choice as he struggles to protect his girlfriend Katryna and his loved ones.
I have read and enjoyed this entire series and the author never fails to provide an entertaining story with magnificent writing. The scenes are vividly described and pull you into each scene with the characters. I loved the way the author wrote and described the magical realm and felt transported there with the characters. The characters are beautifully written, unique, quirky, and lovable. You cannot help but root for Wilf as he struggles with the dilemma of being normal or of fully harnessing his magic. Wilf struggled to believe in himself and his capabilities as he tried to decide whether harnessing the powers within him would make matters better or worse. He bore the weight of the world on his shoulders and was burdened with a major dilemma to save a magical realm and his loved ones. In this installment we see Wilf grow and become stronger as he and his friends work together. This book was full of action, suspense, danger, mystery, magic, wizards, witches, family, friendships, and love. I highly recommend this riveting and entertaining series.

Lyall – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
Wilf Gilvary is back and this time a lot is at stake, after the recent events in Hong Kong, he is worried about those he cares about, but he is also trying to get a handle on his powers and the changes they have wrought in him. As he struggles to come to terms with all he has learnt recently, his is also trying to practice his control and he is only sometimes successful, especially when Katrina keeps occupying his mind, so when he is asked to return to the Magical Realm, he really doesn’t want to, he only wants to go back to his life before magic.
In the end, Will agrees to go back to the Magical Realm, but when he gets there, it is nothing like before, so the group he is in practice caution as they move around, but they almost immediately run into trouble and have to navigate the first set of dangers, albeit with a little help. Eventually, they manage to figure out what is happening and where they need to be, but the path, as usual, is never straight forward and barriers are thrown their way, but they are determined to succeed in their plans.
At this point, they discover something incredible which may hold the answers they are seeking, but it turns out that it is just one piece of the puzzle and only once they have all the pieces can Will hope to hone his powers into something useful, but in order to do this, he has to dive into the storm of ancient magic and uncover secrets which have been buried and maybe for good reason, but this journey is going to test him to his limits.
One good thing has come out of this trip however and that is that he is now able to sense where Katrina is, but is it real, or just a remnant from the broken love spell. Unfortunately, Will and his group are both following Katrina’s path and simultaneously being followed themselves and they find themselves in the middle of the warring factions of the witches and wizards again, meanwhile, Katrina is back in dangerous company and is again being held against her will, but the question is where is she and how will she find her way back to somewhere she knows and Will?
With the biggest decisions of his life to be made, can Will choose to leave his dreams behind in order to save the Magical Realm and all of those living within it, or will he choose a normal life in Hong Kong and sacrifice everything else? This is another magical journey against the clock, as Magic changes and evolves, while safety is constantly out of reach and danger lies around every corner in the epic journey across the realms.
This is the 3rd book in The Virus of Beauty series. I really recommend reading these books in order so you get a complete idea of the story and the amazing world the author creates. This is a fantasy adventure and it has been one rollercoaster of a ride. There has been action, danger, magic and everything in-between. My heart goes out to Wilf. All he has wanted is to be a normal teenager but magic has other plans for him and because he is struggling to embrace the magic he’s stuck and can’t seem to move forward. This feeling has him questioning everything and wondering if he has what it takes to take the responsibility the magic requires. Wilf find himself questioning everything including his feelings towards Katryna. In this story Wilf needs to embrace his power if he is going to defeat the evil that is threatening everything he knows and loves. It is a story of magical danger and finally being able to embrace the person you are. Does embracing his magic mean that Wilf will be saying goodbye to his normal teenage life forever? What would be the consequences if he decides to turn his back on the magic? I was captivated with this whole series. It is a really unique story that takes the reader and a rollercoaster of emotions as we follows Wilf journey and adventure to save the magical Realms while still trying to remain a normal teenager.

This book is definitely unique and intriguing. The author brings us into a magical world full of action, danger, great characters, hard choices and so much more. This is a story rich in detail that will keep you turning pages. This is the third book in this series and it is my suggestion that you start with book one for a better reading experience and because you don’t want to miss out on great reading. This story is enjoyable and I recommend it for all fantasy lovers. The author knows how to draw you in and take you on an adventure. I was excited to read the conclusion of this series but sad it had to end. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This book is the continuation of great series and I was excited to pick up this latest instalment. I wanted to see how things would turn out for the characters and become involved in their adventures again. This book was just as exciting as the others and I reconnected with the characters without issue. I was pulled along on their journey. As the final book in the trilogy it was a great way to end it all. Although I can definitely say I hope the author will produce more within this series as it really was so good.

The Vassal of Magic (The Virus of Beauty Book 3) by C.B. Lyall. This has been such a wonderful series. This book was a great addition. Its the continuing story of Wilf who is trying to learn how to use his magic and control it. Wilf is conflicted because he doesn’t want to give up his life as a regular teenager but he also doesn’t want to miss out on using his powers. If he refuses to use his magic the world in which he exists will end and he has to do everything he can save his love Katryna. Will Wilf learn how to trust his friends and family and use the information and knowledge they give him to control his magic and save their world or will everything end. This final book is such a great ending to this series. I highly recommend reading the first 2 books to get a better overall view of the story. Such a good young adult paranormal series.

This is the final book of this trilogy. The world of magic is still in danger and the only one that can save it is Wilf. We continue to follow Wilf through this series to find out if he is able to be a normal teenager instead of being a wizard. His sister Myra and his girlfriend, Katrina are also still a part of his journey. Will they be able to overcome the tough battles ahead and save the Magic Realm? If you chose to read this series, I do recommend starting with the first book: The Virus of Beauty and continuing the series. This way you are following Wilf’s journey all the way through.

A wonderful book about a middle schooler with Autism. Emerson was born with the ability to talk and all of that disappeared around the age of 15 months which is common with those on the Autism spectrum. She is a fiery teenager with lots to say and no way to share her words, there for she shares them in behaviors which are less then wonderful. Emerson goes through the normal teen life trying to not only manage her non-verbal world but also all of those teenager challenges at the same time. A wonderful read.

This is a unique story told through the eyes of someone who has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), which is an intellectual disability, and sensory processing disorder. This was a beautiful and moving story about Emerson’s struggle with being non-verbal and the challenging obstacles she faces everyday. I was easily able to empathize with Emerson and her parents with the struggles they faced. This was a heartfelt story that you’ll enjoy you read.
This amazing and inspiring true story is based on the life of Emerson. Middle school is rough enough, but being autistic and mainly nonverbal is even more hard. It tells the story from her point of view dealing with sensory issues, and soical issues of just wanting to be accepted. Amazing piece of work. Made me cry, laugh, and just couldn’t put it down, waiting to see how life works out for her.
This was an inner-dialogue story of a young girl experiencing autism. I really enjoyed reading this book. Often times, when an autistic child is like Emerson and cannot communicate with those around her, knowing their inner feelings is hard. This book is an inside look at many different experiences that many different people have, not just autistic children. In this book, Emerson experiences not being able to get the correct words to come out of her mouth, becoming frustrated over not being able to communicate, feeling like an outsider when around children not like her, feeling like she needs to get up and move, sensory sensitive, and many other aspects of mental disorders. This book really brings to light how difficult this can be for autistic children and how much they care even if they can’t show it in a way people expect everybody too.
Nonverbal by Molly Zenk a young adult and family oriented book
Severely autistic middle schooler Emerson Rayne’s words disappeared when she was fifteen months old, but that doesn’t mean she has no voice. As she navigates her day-to-day world of friendships, bullies, and overprotective, over stressed parents, Emerson’s difficult but manageable frustrations turn to self-injurious behaviors and mental and emotional instability.
Emerson’s parents fight to find her support and treatment in health and education systems that have little options for intensive needs teens. Inspired by a true story.
Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It brings a very new perspective in your life and I couldn’t put the book down.
This is a story that show a snippet of what it is like to be the autistic person. The struggles within herself to control her actions and words and the struggles of society. I liked how the words were placed giving me the feeling of her loss of control when an episode hits. It helps me look at a situation a little differently now. Also all the the things her parents did for her safety or to protect her (which I could under) we got to see the other side and what she thought of them but could not articulate her reasons. It was an interesting read as it gave me insight to this life she and her parents lead.

I knew before I started reading that this book would be emotional and I can say without hesitation it was that. This character has got to be one of my all time favourites. I connected with her so easily and I loved that the author chose her as the focal point of this book. It is unusual to come across a book that tackles such a prominent issue and even more rare to find one that does it so well. I think it is so important for more books like this to be written. It gives a great insight into what life with autism must be like and I applaud the author was the accurate depiction. This is a book that everyone should read.
There were things I absolutely LOVED about this book and parts that I struggled with, as a parent to an autistic child and being neurodivergent myself. I just wanted to reach through the pages in parts of this book and help Emerson and her family understand that she isn’t a broken or defective person with missing puzzle pieces, but rather an amazingly different and unique puzzle piece of a person with her own strengths that is living in a world built for NT people. I did love Emerson as a character, as well as her BFF Ryleigh, and hope the author continues to tell their stories in other books.
The Lone Star Child is the 3rd installment of The God’s Scion Series by Winnifred Tataw. This series is a great choice for lovers of YA Fantasy. The 3rd book takes us back into the intriguing world of the Acolytes and God’s. This time, Caro the Space Acolyte is missing. Rodrick and the other Acolytes have to save her before time runs out. If this is your first look into this series, be prepared for an immersive and interesting story that is very fast-paced. You will not want to put it down.

In this book we follow Emerson as she navigates a world that wasn’t built for her. She has Autism Spectrum Disorder, sensory processing disorder, an intellectual disability, and is functionally nonverbal. We follow Emerson through her life in this thought-provoking, heart felt book.
The Lone Star Child is the third book in The Gods’ Scion series. It had been a bit since I read the previous two books in the series, but I was easily brought back into the story. I do recommend reading the first two books before this one to get the most enjoyment. Caro, the Space Acolyte, is the last and only hope for the Ophiuchus to find freedom. This is a fast-paced story with great world-building and interesting characters. I enjoy the unique story and do not feel as if I am reading a rehash of another book. If you enjoy YA, fantasy, or action, this book (and series) will grab your attention. I enjoy Caro but also the different Gods and acolytes. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

The Lone Star Child is the third book in The Gods’ Scion series. I should have paid a little more attention and picked up the first two, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! I am definitely going to pick up the rest of the series to be able to immerse myself into this world even more, but I highly recommend it even just reading this as a standalone. Long imprisoned and forgotten, Ophiuchus has all but given up. When Caro, a Space Acolyte, gives Ophiuchus renewed hope at freedom, they finally see their future and begin their plan of vengeance. How else do you expect a prisoner to feel other than outraged? This book took me on a rollercoaster of emotions and left me reeling. You’ll definitely enjoy this if YA Fantasy is up your alley, and possibly even if it’s not! Give it a chance as it is captivating, but start at the beginning for the best experience.

From the moment I read the blurb to this book I knew I had to read it. I wad hooked instantly and had to know about the story..I didn’t care that it was the 3rd book in the series and having read it I can say for sure I will be going back to read the others. It surprised me it was a YA book as I didn’t get that impression from the description but it really worked. I loved finding out about this world and the characters. This us a thoroughly enjoyable story and I can’t wait to discover more.
