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 ‘Reflection: The Monston Scepter’ Book Review on the Canadian Amazon Website Review By: Sean 5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 5, 2023 Verified Purchase “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.” Review by: Dean M. 5.0 out of 5 stars “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.” Review by: mtnielsen 5.0 out of 5 stars “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.” The Reflection: The Uishanole Book Reviews on the American Amazon Website Review by: Kelli Paddon 5.0 out of 5 stars July 30, 2018 Verified Purchase “Great read!” “Great read! Well written, with a unique perspective and strong voice. After reading this book i recommendes it to my son (13) who devoured it and loved every second. Can’t wait for the next instalment of this epic journey.” The Reflection: The Uishanole Book Reviews on the Canadian Amazon Website Review by: DJ 5.0 out of 5 stars Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 1, 2020 Verified Purchase “Good Story, with twists, turns and surprises!” “An enjoyable summer read. Jordan the author has a creative mind and great imagination as describes in detail some alternate fantasy worlds. There are a lot of twists, turns, and surprises as you are pulled into Phoebe (the heroine of the story) journey. You see glimpses and reflections on how it feels to have autism.” The ‘Reflection: The Vinston Scepter’ Book Reviews on the Canadian Amazon Website mtnielsen 5.0 out of 5 stars “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.”

Greetings again, If anyone here happens to be a fan of Poppy Playtime, I would like to share with you all that I have made a KZbin video about an interesting theory that the identity of the main playable character of the Poppy Playtime series is the character Stella Greyber. I explain why in the video. Feel free to check it out on my channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXOqimxmmpahi7c

Yeah..., unfortunately for me, Chica is revived, the Entity still lurks, and the giant haunted cupcake is still watching me... However, I really love the vast alternate dimension section of this chapter! Note: I'm sorry that I'm not playing the Chica Feeding Frenzy arcade game because it's too challenging for me to beat and it's too time consuming. I also have too limited memory space on my PS5 and flash drive to do a recording of the Chica arcade game, which would be very long. I think the farthest I've managed to make it is Level 16 from what I can remember. Thankfully, my friend, who's a better gamer than I am, did manage to beat all the levels of Chica Feeding Frenzy, so I can still provide the bonus Chica cutscene for you all from his game file. I'll upload the video soon. However, even my friend struggled quite a bit to beat the Chica game. In all honesty, that Chica game is designed more as a game with a mouse to do the aiming instead of a controller's joystick. You can aim way faster and way more efficiently with a mouse than a joystick. Besides, it would've been a lot better and made a lot more sense, if Steel Wool made it so that we can find and obtain Chica's voice box from a hidden present or find the voice box lying on the floor in a hidden corner, instead of randomly acquiring the Chica voice box from an extremely complex arcade game. Instead they should've just made Chica's Feeding Frenzy completely optional and not hand out any prizes for beating it just like they did with the Monty Golf 2.0 arcade game. That all would've been much better for all of us and this game.
