Testimonials

Warrior Rock is a heartfelt blend of fantasy and emotional depth. I didn’t expect to connect so much with Amira’s story, but her journey hit hard. The world of Verasteria was vibrant and creative, green-skinned people with yellow eyes? That’s a visual I won’t forget. A solid debut with heart.

There’s something beautiful about a fantasy story that doesn’t just focus on battle scenes or power, but on emotional resilience and healing. Jane P.K. clearly writes from a place of personal understanding. It shows.

Fantasy fans, this one’s a little different, in a good way. Yes, there’s a sorcerer and a scorned queen and all that drama, but the real magic is in how the characters grow. Jerichi is a standout. Would love to see a sequel.

I found this story very satisfactory. It blended modern and mythical elements to a masterful degree. The character development was extraordinary, which allowed me to connect with the characters as the story progressed. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a story where modern aesthetic and epic fantasy collide.

As someone who’s been through therapy, I could sense the deeper themes in this book. Amira’s past, the feeling of not belonging, the internal battles, there’s real emotional intelligence in the writing. I think young adults in particular will get a lot out of this.

This story surprised me. At first, I was drawn in by the fantasy elements, but what really kept me turning pages was the emotional journey. Amira’s search for identity and Jerichi loyalty to his brother made the stakes feel personal. It’s not just about magic and kingdoms, it’s about healing.
