Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos Book 1 by Ashley Chappell
5-Stars
Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos Book 1 by Ashley Chappell was an excellent adventure and fantasy read. I loved the characters and the imaginative setting. This author had an amazing imagination to create such a magnificent story. I easily got carried away with this book and enjoyed being lost in its pages. I found Trotter’s name to be unique and memorable and Alice’s age in this novel shocked me. I was very quickly attached to her young character and unique abilities. I also adored Prowler’s character as the most amazing feline ever. He was witty and perfect for that role. This book was amazing and I highly recommend it!
This YA fantasy novel is about 14 year old Trotter who is a demi god and trying to figure out her powers. We also follow 6 year old Alice who is a slave at an inn, Alice also doesn’t know she has powers. Alice has always wanted a proper family and writes how her day is going in a diary. But what she writes isn’t exactly how the day had gone, it’s how she wishes the day had gone. We follow both girls as they figure out their powers and join together to fight evil and find their happy endings. This story was very emotional in parts and also very humorous in others. Prowler is definitely my favourite character, he is an adorable cat who is Trotter’s guardian, who absolutely loves sea food! He sadly runs into trouble a few times and has to be reincarnated but he’s always positive about it. My only critique about the book is that I found it very slow paced for the first half, not a lot of action was happening. But it was worth it in the end and turned out to be a fantastic read! I really liked how at the end of the book it explains all the God’s and Goddesses as there is quite a few to keep track of.
Alice Will: Dreams of Chaos, Book 1, by Ashley Chappell is an awesome book. I’m almost at a loss for words to describe the complete ecstasy I’ve had reading this book. If I could give this book 10 Stars I would. The world that Ashley Chappell builds for us in this story is remarkable. The language is like butter. The characters are all striking and so unforgettable. Trotter who is our heroine in this story, you will bond with this young girl and the way that Ms. Chappelle writes you will feel what Trotter feels, you will be Trotter. Love and risk and sacrifice it’s all here. You need to make sure you’ve done everything you need to do because once you get to the middle of the book you won’t do anything else till you finish.
