Review :
"Morrison creates vivid characters with whom we can identify, even with their flaws. She clearly describes each protagonist's development, which makes the conclusion of The Yochni's Eye all the more satisfying. The suspense lasts through the final pages, as the reader waits to find out whose wish the yochni will grant, and how the next six hundred years will be affected." Windy City Reviews
"It was as if CS Lewis' Narnia characters and The Dragon Prince characters came together and played out like a Ghibli movie." Beta Reader Feedback
"Although I may never read or take the time to watch Potter or Tolkien, I do look forward to reading the next book from this young author." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
"Morrison's exciting debut novel pits intriguing and heroic creatures against each other in their quest to change the fate of the world. A bogey, a dwarf, a magical medic, a hart, and a dragon seek the blink of the yochni's eye to grant a wish. Who will get there first, and what will they wish for? So much fun. I can't wait for Morrison's next novel!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
"Started reading this book the day I got it ... eventually it was 4am and I had to stop reading..." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
"I so enjoyed this book! The Yochni's Eye world is rich with magic, compelling characters, and thoughtful questions. It was in the same turn familiar and utterly creative." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
"I devoured this book. Story and pacing are great. Lord of the Rings fans will enjoy." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
"We purchased this book for our teenaged son. He is a fantasy-novel reader with high standards, and this book met all of them. He loved the rich characters and exciting storyline. The only disappointment was learning that it's a one-off novel instead of a series. Absolutely worth a read!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Review
