PRAISE FOR REIGNING FIRE
"A book that I couldn't put down. Clever mix of psychology, neurodivergence and fantasy and the blurred concepts in between.""Jasmine Kah Yan Loo clearly shows her understanding of not only her culture but humans in their entirety, both in their beauty and their tragedy!! Using her experience of working with the human psyche she has weaved together this beautiful story."
"This book broke and healed me in equal measure. It’s a story for anyone who has ever had to hide their fire to survive."
"The world-building is intricate and atmospheric, and the plot is packed with tension and mystery. There's plenty here for fans of fantasy and character-driver stories to enjoy. I'm already looking forward to diving into Book 2 and seeing where Loo takes us next."
"I loved this book, the writing, the characters, and the stories. I loved being able to wake up in the morning and fall into the world written by Jasmine K.Y. Loo. Books are a door to other dimensions, and this dimension was particularly fantastic to peek inside of."
