Three Cheers for L.A. Evans for completing her Junction Trilogy in quick time and for completing it really well!

The final book – Junction: Time’s Up ­– is, as the title suggests, a thrilling chase for resolution. The difficult and dark times continue for the protagonists before hope-that-can-last is finally glimpsed. As Book 2’s end had indicated, the twists and turns in the lives of Zoe and Aisha aren’t over. The two come together to seek answers for what fate has dealt them, and for whether they can ever set things right.

While in Book 1, the reader sees things from the eyes and perspectives of Aisha and in Book 2, from those of Zoe, in Junction: Time’s Up, the point of view alternates between that of Aisha and Zoe with each chapter.

Review on "Junction: Time's Ticking" (Junction Trilogy Book 1)

Review on "Junction: Still Ticking" (Junction Trilogy Book 2)

Evans expresses emotions and thoughts of both the female protagonists well; in fact, she justifies the thoughts and the actions of both, making her stance clear that perspective is a prime player in life.

After reading the final book, the heart really goes out to Zoe and Aisha shows herself to be a better character than she had appeared in Book 1. The role of the enigmatic old lady with her cryptic messages becomes clear – which is one of the key twists to watch out for. The whole significance of the “Junction” is better understood and why this is aptly the “Junction Trilogy”.

Destiny, injustices in life – of which the lacks of the justice system also form a subset, possibility for positive change in oneself and one’s situation are explored further. Book 3 is a roller-coaster ride of emotions – grief and happiness, dejection and hope, anxiety and contentment are all offered on this ride. Themes of regret, atonement and redemption, and faith are delved into too.

As the book draws to a close, it is possible to guess the final resolution – but only as the end nears; throughout, new elements of the whole are revealed. The overall plot of the trilogy is well-planned, down to little details such as the relevance of choice of names and birthdays. Each subsequent book of this trilogy – the first one was Evans’s debut novel – is written better than its respective predecessor and contains fewer errors.

It would obviously not do to talk of what the ending of the trilogy is but what does need to be said is that the reader mustn’t wait too long to reach it. 😊 So, do grab a copy – but read Book 1 and Book 2 first if you haven’t already.

Happy New Year and Happy Reading!

Review by Ronica Wahi We are the Champions By Rashmi Bansal and Devendra Tak First published: February 14, 2020, Bushfire. Pages: 206.  ISBN: 9788193182130 “It takes a child to raise a village.” This statement on the back cover is enough for the reader to know that encountered will be extraordinary tales. Yes, extraordinary indeed, for isn’t a child someone who needs to be raised? What the reader knows from the cover is proved as he/she moves through the pages of this interesting and inspiring chronicle of the achievements of fifteen children from across India whom the authors Rashmi Bansal and Devendra Tak rightly hail as the Champions of Change .  The book is inspiring because it shows how determination and the will to accomplish something can be truly rewarding.

A Powerful Rendering of the King Midas Story

  Review by Ronica Wahi The Curse of King Midas By Colleen M. Story First published: May 13, 2024, Midchannel Press. Pages: 426. ISBN: 9780999099179 Spectacular is the story that Colleen M. Story has told! Vibrant, colourful, and arresting the tapestry she has woven! The Curse of King Midas isn’t history or myth, but a mythological fantasy , and must be treated as such. It borrows from history, and myths and legends, and uses what it borrows beautifully. But what it essentially serves is an innovative, flavourful, and delectable preparation that has power struggles, politics, thirst for revenge, love, and magic as important ingredients. The Prologue is gripping, and immediately draws the reader into the story and gets him /her invested in the fates of Karem – the future King Midas – and his little sister Elanur. The haunting scenes of the Prologue proudly showcase the writer’s gift of storytelling and of generating immense interest. The book presents more dimens...

Novice to Strider: A Good Guide for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Review by Ronica Wahi Technology to Business: The Invisible Gap By Harish C Rijhwani Edition Reviewed: May, 2020, Independently Published, Kindle.   Pages: 132.  ISBN: 9781234567890 The cover by Mansi Shah is arresting and quite revealing. It makes an impactful visual impression, driving home the idea that the path linking the world of technology and the world of business has a gap substantial enough to make one fall straight down if one fails to be aware of it. This failure is quite possible because this gap, as the cover indicates and the title – Technology to Business: The Invisible Gap - asserts, is invisible. The job Harish C Rijhwani has taken up is to attempt to make it visible – this is the intent and the achievement of this book. For a person who lacks a degree or any formal training in technology and/or business, there is not infrequently a certain hesitation in picking up a book that delves into these domains and then ...
