Zulauf Review "One of the best young adult epic fantasy series of the decade, author Parris Sheets is a master of wordplay in Beyond the Flame. Each chapter reveals something new to readers. The twists and turns are entertaining, and the clues left behind are enough to intrigue readers to want more. I loved the arc Piper's character takes, and I cannot wait to see what happens next as she continues on the path she has decided for herself. Felix and Vienna are great companions for Kole and help him bounce off ideas when he is indecisive or simply give him support. The ending shocked me. I was not expecting it at all, and now I am even more excited about what the author has in store for readers as the story continues in the next novel. The world-building has gotten better (if that is even possible), and the character development is fantastic. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good story. Beyond my expectations! Outstanding!" ~ Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite Books Reviews (5 STARS)"Author Parris Sheets really knows how to draw a reader in, and YA fans and adult readers alike will certainly be transfixed by this captivating work of fantasy fiction, which also blends some fantastic science fiction and adventure elements into its core world-building. I found the work really easy to jump into and follow, but the plot also grew in complexity and nuance as I got deeper and deeper into the reading experience. There were some very emotional highs and lows for Kole in this work, and the close narration around his actions, dialogue, and inner thoughts made it feel like I knew him personally by the book's end. As such, I found myself both immersed and totally invested in Beyond the Flame from cover to cover and would recommend it to all fantasy fans looking for a high-quality series to lose themselves in." ~ K.C.
