My Review:

This is a collection of 15 stories......Crisp, clear and thoughtful writing. 

There are stories we read and forget as time passes by. This one is unlike those one time reads. Each one of the stories are unique in their own ways. All the stories are different from one another and the charactrs ar very well defined. While a reader tries to go dep into the plots, author has made it evident that the characters of the stories do not get jumbled in the mind of the reader. The characters are well defined which keeps an identical mark in the resders mind to be alive all throughout. After every story, there will float a moral of the read. The author has not mentioned any moral anywhere across, but the reader's mind is driven to enjoy a thoughtful moment aftr every read. The words are handy and clear. The ideas are transparent. I loved the read of "Time and Space". In this author has allowed the reader to make his/hr desired conclusion since she has left the story open ended.

I overall admired the read. The author has portrayed a number of places which showed a women centric inspiration. A lot of situations created in the plots have been put forward to the audience from a feminine perspective which has given a strong not of authority to the plot. I found it different and encouraging.
It has been a truly refreshing read.

My Review:

What a high standard set here in the genre of fiction writing beautified with imagination and scientific analogy.

This is a great example of 3 skilled writers and one good book. The effort that has been put to sculpture the plot and the twists that has been offered to crave the imagination of the readers is commendable.  Science Fiction and fantasy are great to watch on screen but to read and to see the characters floating right in front of your eyes is the master art of the author.

The research for the plot to be framed has been done well. The characters with their alien form going through teleportation and psychokinesis had been perfectly attributed. There has been no mismatch or out of place situations to make the book feel overdone or underdone. The editing of the book is perfect. The description of the characters and the situations have been crafted well which stands out as the positive for the creation of an imagination among the readers. On the other hand, there has been a too lengthy narration which has given a feeling of getting dragged into unnecessary edges.

Considering this to be their first write, I would take this opportunity to congratulate them for the success. Moreover, they have put in the effort and the research time to enter a genre far away from the realistic college romance and typical predictive collection of authors. This is indeed a great start for the trio and looking forward to read more from the team of “The Prophecy of Trivine ”. This has been an read with a new experience.
