Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate by Luminescence Goh is a fantasy novel with a strong plot and incredible characters. The story begins with Finnegan discovering a mysterious crystal at Pulau Ubin Island. However, he had no idea his life was about to change forever. He found the beautiful Seraphina at a beach, and she opened a new world of intrigue, mystery, and magic to him. However, before their relationship could develop, a solar storm destroyed all electricity and changed everything forever. Suddenly, the world around them was overwhelmed by magical creatures. Dragons, mages, strange animals, and more roam free. It was up to Seraphina, Finnegan, Lieutenant Victor, and Lyria to team up and save the world from these dark forces before it was too late. But were they enough to fight the evil forces that had taken root on Earth?

From the moment I read the first chapter, I knew I had to take my time with this novel. Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate had everything I could wish for in a fantasy novel without being too much. It had elements of mystery, great characters, and incredible background building without being over the top. I liked Finnegan more than Seraphina. While Seraphina was definitely a key player, Finnegan was the glue of the story, holding it together. His development was the most impressive, and I loved it. Author Luminescence Goh’s narrative style pulled me into the story, and I felt like I was right beside these characters as they faced dangerous situations. The chapters were rich with details, and the vivid imagery transported me right into the scenes. I highly recommend this novel!
