Review:

This is one of the few examples of how you can’t judge a book by its cover. Although this book is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, the plot and story were confusing. I couldn’t understand what was going on for the most part, and even after ending the book, I was still unclear on the reason behind it. Some of the things done in the book were so cool like the narrator is a character or the way it was written. But others just did not live up to the expectations. I’m not sure if this is because it is a European book or because it was more focused on marketing rather than the book itself. The branding for their book was so good, and the cover is so unique that I am not actually mad that the book was not the best. I am actually not very surprised. Usually, these things work if it is a good book, the cover is in the middle ground of looking bad and great. This book was a little disappointing, but it also had an interesting concept and a fantastic cover.

Synopsis From Book:

The Octunnumi does not exist. Fosbit and any files relating to a Fosbit do not exist. The Tarelen peoples that protect and provide sanctuary for the Avitens of Fethrist are not real. The abilities of the Tarelen peoples with their heightened skills, living in their Utopian world are myth, their purpose here mere tales; rumours of their reincarnations enabling them to live many lives… ridiculous! And there is definitely no magic. None at all. No, really, there isn’t. Magic is not a thing. There are also no hidden worlds or mythical beings coexisting just out of sight. Equally, there are no secret access points to these hidden worlds that don’t exist, and there is no, 'unfinished business from the past' that is set to destroy, well, anything. There is no disaster looming. Anyway, regardless of any potential threat that may or may not be present, this publication, The Octunnumi and any reference to any other beings is a work of fiction. And for the record, Scariodintts, should they exist, are perfectly lovely beings whose purpose in life is grossly misunderstood.
