Editorial Reviews

Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate is an epic adventure penned by Mr. Luminescence Goh. In this book, we follow Seraphina, Finnegan, Lyra, Lieutenant Victor, and their team as they journey through deep forests, high mountains, vast oceans, ancient ruins, and mysterious temples in their quest to save the world from the forces of darkness.

Finnegan is just an ordinary young man who comes across an extraordinary crystal while on Pulau Ubin Island. From then, his life takes a special turn. He befriends Seraphina, the beautiful yet mysterious girl he had a liking toward for a long time. Seraphina opens a world of magic to him. Soon after, a solar storm plunges the world into darkness. No country on Earth has access to electricity. Dragons, elves, mutants, mages, sirens, and ferocious animals, among other dark creatures, destroy everything in their path.

Will Finnegan, along with Seraphina and their new friends, be able to defeat the evil forces and bring back normalcy on Earth?

Luminescence Goh is a master world builder. He seamlessly integrates fantasy with real-world scenarios. His world is full of magical creatures. These creatures are well-developed. It is very evident that Goh did a lot of research while creating them. They are portrayed in such a detailed manner that I could actually visualize them. Also, I love how he draws inspiration from Greek, Roman, and other Old World mythology. Goh also sheds light on the environmental issues that we are experiencing today. From overpopulation to pollution, he touches on all the relevant topics. Mr. Luminescence Goh's writing style is very vivid. The way he sketched the battle scenes made me feel goosebumps. It is evident that he drew on his experiences from his time in the Navy.

Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate not only tells a captivating tale but also teaches us a lot of life lessons. Through the story of Seraphina, Finnegan, Lyra, and their friends, Goh underlines the importance of unity, perseverance, love, and strength. He also depicts the power of acceptance, redemption, and sacrifice.

The characters in the novel are quite well-developed as well. It was a treat seeing Finnegan grow from a naive boy to a resilient young man. Seraphina had my heart. She was willing to do anything to help those in need. I was truly astonished when her true identity was revealed. Lyra was a brave girl. Lieutenant Victor and his team were strong individuals who selflessly did everything to save their homeland. I learned a lot from Leonardo's character arc. The Oakheart elves, Lysandra, and Ezekiel imparted a number of values.

In the end, the author provides a detailed character guide, chronology, location descriptions, and a thorough explanation of the magical objects and spells. He also includes a number of questions for a thorough discussion of the book. I believe all this makes the book all the more special.

I have to mention that there are a number of errors and a tad bit of redundancy in the book. I am confident that a round of editing will easily fix this.

Overall, Mr. Luminescence Goh's Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate is a supremely captivating novel. Consisting of 365 pages and thirteen chapters, the book manages to hold the reader's attention till the end. I highly recommend it to fans of fantasy novels and adventure stories.

I just read the Chapter of the Story Book and here is my Foreshadowing: The blind man's cryptic advice adds an intriguing element to the story. The incorporation of magical artefacts and the hint at Finnegan's potential ability to manipulate internal energy adds an exciting dimension to the narrative. The revelation of Seraphina's origin and her connection to a different world adds a layer of mystery, keeping readers intrigued and eager to learn more. Seraphina's possession of a credit card with special privileges is surprising and humorous. Overall, the story has successfully set the stage for future developments. Keep up the momentum and continue to explore the characters' emotions and reactions to the unfolding events. Great job!

Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard: Seraphina and the Divine Mandate by Mr. Luminescence Goh takes us on an epic quest to save the world from dark forces.

Review Version 2 from TheChrysalisBREWProject.com
What seems to be a normal day at the museum turns out to be a day when the lines are blurred between the natural and the supernatural. The appearance of a mysterious shadow results in the theft of a valued piece and the death of a guard. Simultaneously, a group of friends embark on a journey to the Pulau Ubin Island. Finnegan, who is amongst the group, isolates himself, but he finds himself in a predicament as he falls into a ditch from trying to pursue a sparkling object that caught his eye. That sparkling object turns out to shape the rest of his destiny as he gets introduced to the realm of magic. He also gets introduced to Seraphina, whom he’s been eyeing for quite some time at the local bakery. Bound by friendship and later by the crystal, they embark on unimaginable journeys together. However, the real turn of events unfolds when a solar storm occurs, cutting off all electricity and introducing demonic, evil beings that wreak havoc across the world. With determination, Finnegan, Seraphina, and many others that they meet along the way strive to combat this evil from its direct source and restore the planet’s electricity and peace. In Luminescence Goh’s book, Chronicles of the Enchanted Vanguard Seraphina and the Divine Mandate, we see that this journey requires teamwork, friendship, and sacrifice. I loved reading this book from beginning to end. It was filled with many plot twists as it progressed. I love the fact that a lot unfolded without the length of the book being extensive. This book contained lessons that each reader can learn from. I learnt two lessons, the first being that everyone has a valuable role to play in the betterment of society, and that community and friendship require us to take a sacrificial stance. We see this throughout the book, as each character mentioned in the book contributes to the cause that they are fighting for. In addition to this, I love how the author took time to pay attention to each character, making the roles of each character seem equally important. The second lesson that I learnt was that humanity cannot ward off evil unless we rid ourselves of the internal evil that comes with greed and self-gain. We, humans, need to do introspection because we often pose the biggest threats to ourselves.
