C.A. Nicholas's Interlaced Souls Series has ended and he has collected it into one tome on your behalf. "Cycles of the Phoenix" consists of "Sanity's War", "Strange: And Other Accounts from the Taboo War", and "Kaya: Where Have You Gone?"

Hope, love, and perseverance infuse this art piece; ready to embrace anyone who feels lonely and enchained within the essence of a starless and moonless night. However, not all of his stories of fantasy, humour, and horror within may have happily ever afters though take heart in knowing that there is a humanity enriching purpose to any of the possibly devastating conclusions.

Review: I had to unfortunately DNF this one as well. I felt like that the writing was really stiff and it threw off the whole vibe of the book. The book almost felt like it just threw things out there and didn’t really conclude them either.

Verdict: Not for me.
