Official Review: Reflection by Jordan T. Lefaivre 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.

“Full of heart, danger, and jaw-dropping details!”
“As someone who grew up with Final Fantasy and Disney as huge stylistic influences of how to tell a story, Jordan Lefaivre understands what make stories by those creators so captivating. 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. It has so much that needs to be conveyed visually--I hope that one day there can be an adaptation of their work into animation! As someone who isn't a big fan of James Cameron Avatar...if you gave this book series that budget, it would blow Avatar out of the water!”
“I think that what Jordan is trying to accomplish here is powerful: to tell a story of a strong female protagonist with autism. I hope he succeeds in reducing stigma and showing that main characters come in all shapes and sizes.”

“A nail-biting read that you won't want to put down.”
“The Monston Scepter, the third book in Jordan Lefaivres' Reflections series, is an extraordinary fantasy that takes readers on a grand and immersive journey through a vast and meticulously crafted world. Jordan's exceptional imagination shines as he weaves a narrative of epic proportions filled with interesting, colourful characters, intricate societies and breathtaking landscapes. Every scenes highly detailed rendering creates a palpable sense of immersion that captivates the readers imagination. New wonders and unexpected twists abound making the book an exhilarating, non-stop adventure from beginning to end. Phoebe and her band of delightfully diverse allies move from one hair raising adventure to the next, experiencing catastrophic setbacks at times but also triumphs thanks to team work and each members unique strengths and attributes.
Prepare to be swept away by Jordan's extraordinary vision and embark on an unforgettable literary odyssey.”

“All I can say is Wow”
“Again Jordan has outdone himself. 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. I can't wait to see what happens next.”

“A great story with real-world significance.”
“With a book that takes inspiration from games like Final Fantasy and movies like Jim Henson's Labyrinth, comes a story with a young girl as our main protagonist and fresh-eyed guide to a strange world amidst another dimension. It has a lot of vivid description, heartfelt moments, and an interesting premise; what if you were brought to a world so unlike your own? I feel that the author does a great job of capturing Phoebe's (the protagonist) feelings. You really get the sense that the character is seeing an incredible fantasy world, and that her experience in many ways mirror our own--a reflection, one that shows how everything has a complementary pairing. The story is set up to be a large tale, and I for one am excited to see the rest.”

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the amazing visual descriptions of the lands, the emphasis he has given to the world building, and the accurate representation of autism through his protagonist: Phoebe. As Phoebe finds herself out of her element on an alien planet, it is great to see Lefaivre's world come together as she discovers just how prominent a role she has to play in the battles to come.”

“Wow!! I just finished reading Reflection: The Vinston Scepter and could not put it down until I finished it! I loved the build up to all the action sequences, the detail and the emotion that gripped all the characters! I enjoyed all the lighter moments that weaved in a beautiful balance to back story all the character development. The visual descriptions of the characters and of this other dimensional planet are incredible!
I really got to see deeper into Phoebe’s mind and her thought processing, whose character is an Autistic person in this novel series. It was so realistic and it made me appreciate and understand how an Autistic person deals with and thinks in their own everyday world.
5 thumbs up to Jordan Lefaivre, in cleverly weaving Autistic traits into Phoebe’s character. He cleverly put me into the middle of this realistic world of Yuetsion and the impending battle with another alien race. Phoebe, being 13 years old goes through many emotional ups and downs, discovering what she is really capable of doing. So clever is this read! I loved it!! I personally give this book a 5 out of 5 crystal stars and can’t wait for book 3 in this series!”

The characters he has created really draw you into this epic tale and get you emotionally involved, putting the book down is out of the question until you discover the outcome of a battle, an escape or what other obstacle Pheobe and her growing entourage will have to overcome next....or will they?
The first book was amazing, the second even better, I can't wait for a third."

“Once again Jordan hits it out of the park. This up and coming author weaves together a story of fantasy perfect for all ages. In the same vein as both the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series, he manages to take someone from a very normal background and elevate her to become the perfect heroine for the Yuetsion people. Excellent use of descriptive imagery throughout. I couldn't put it down.”

Review By: Kevin
"If you're bored and want to relax while your ASD child is sleeping and into books I highly suggest the reflection series written by one of our own autistic members Jordan Lefaivre I'm a huge book nerd and love it. My 17 year old son hates to read and he finished the book in a weekend so if he loves it you will too. So remember when your asd child takes that 30 second power nap grab the book and read a few pages or if you're like me and run to the bathroom to hide you need this book."

The characters he has created really draw you into this epic tale and get you emotionally involved, putting the book down is out of the question until you discover the outcome of a battle, an escape or what other obstacle Pheobe and her growing entourage will have to overcome next....or will they?
The first book was amazing, the second even better, I can't wait for a third."

“You must read this book”
“Once again Jordan hits it out of the park. This up and coming author weaves together a story of fantasy perfect for all ages. In the same vein as both the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series, he manages to take someone from a very normal background and elevate her to become the perfect heroine for the Yuetsion people. Excellent use of descriptive imagery throughout. I couldn't put it down.”

Review By: Kevin
"If you're bored and want to relax while your ASD child is sleeping and into books I highly suggest the reflection series written by one of our own autistic members Jordan Lefaivre I'm a huge book nerd and love it. My 17 year old son hates to read and he finished the book in a weekend so if he loves it you will too. So remember when your asd child takes that 30 second power nap grab the book and read a few pages or if you're like me and run to the bathroom to hide you need this book."
