Book review: Zarah Fiaz creates an emotional fantasyland in her book 'Staff Tales: Illusion'

| @indiablooms | Aug 03, 2018, at 04:47 pm

As a child, I loved fairy tales. The fairytales were so fun. Being a Potter fan, I always thought we could live in a world of magic and magicians.

'Staff tales: Illusion' is a heart-warming story that immerses you in a tale about letting go of the past, embracing the future and discovering one’s true self at any age.

Once again Power Publishers comes up with a fresh and interesting concept that seeks the attention of the readers.

This book is for all fantasy lovers. It is uplifting, absorbing and delightfully inspiring!

The writing style is fluid and effortless. The plot is a wonderful blend of humour, hope and heart.

Zarah Fiaz invites us to discover magic of our world.

The style is smooth and effective, drawing in the reader to the story without them realising that they are reading a work of fiction.

Prisca a regular girl living the most ordinary life faces a challenge when she meets a stranger in the train. Everything about her life changes. She soon realizes that she has been chosen by an ancient civilization as a carrier of magical staff that wields all kinds of magical and unimaginable powers.

This book is smart, fresh and incredibly engaging from the beginning till the end.

Zarah with her first novel puts us in a magical world with adventures, love and lots of hope. The Staff Tales is more like a perfect mix of fantasy,magic and humour.

One would just connect with Prisca and her way of handling little things.

This book is must read for everyone and will surely be the 'something different' that the reader in you looks for.
