Uberreader’s review of Origin (Copula Chronicles, #1) by Venessa Kimball June 23, 2016 By Heather Danielle This is a very elaborate, complex, and cryptic story. It tends to be a slow paced and challenging read, but that does not mean it is not diverting. It does mean you do have to read for some time to appreciate the true beauty of this story. The characters are a slightly hard to understand initially but you quickly become committed to them and their cause. I would definitely recommend this book to any and all that appreciate a truly complex and complicated storyline. I want to thank Ms. Kimball, Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing for the free ARC of this book I received in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. P.S. anything in color is a link.

I have encouraged reading in people of all ages for decades now, but we will not discuss my age as I am a lady. ArchivesCategories |
