Testimonials about Souryha: The Other Side

• This is a ‘must read’ book for all who embrace the adventurous side of life. It is an inspiring story, taking us beyond the boundaries of the known and into the mysterious and exciting world of the unknown. It encourages us to stretch our boundaries, to ‘think outside the box’ and be open to growth, adventure and mystery.

• Dear Yasmin, I just finished reading Souryha last night. What a story, how rich and evocative and steeped in magic. The prose is clean but underneath there is a deep knowledge running. I found it completely visual to read as I had with all of the Grimm stories and Greek fables. I could see the different shapes of the mountains and feel the changing turquoise lake as if I was there. It is a guide to trust the deep intuition and survive the dark places along the journey. Also, allowing the help to come from various places - hope, that there is help, is important. I feel nurtured by this story. Thank you for this.

• An excellent story! I've read the whole book and I especially enjoyed the second half. The treasure hunt at the end is great, and I want to read the sequel! It's quite mystical and spiritual as well, as the heroine has to battle some of the things that we face as humans (although usually in less dramatic settings). Kristin, UK

• Yasmin, I totally loved reading your book! I don't even typically like books in the fantasy genre but really enjoyed Souryha. It's well-written and so interesting. I look forward to the next book!

• By now I've read your book twice (in one week)!... I really like it and I feel I little like Teesmya sometimes...just going where the winds of the soul blow. I can imagine you felt that way at some point..." Rodrigo, Chile

• I thought this was lovely, one of those Fantasy novels that takes the genre very seriously and strives to create just the right effect. The first chapter is essentially a foundational myth to introduce the world in which Teesmya finds herself. The second chapter takes us right into the heart of your pitch and involves Teesmya finding out something about who she really is, her latent powers. Bren, UK

• I so much loved the book that I've already read twice. The first time it was especially the suspense of the history which held me in breath. The second reading was to look further into the philosophy which it contains. I await the continuation impatiently ... Chris, Switzerland

• I loved it very much, felt all the time fully connected because that's what the story is about.....
  I could fully connect to the book and especially dive in it which I love very much.
  Thank you for writing it! Luc, Netherlands

• I loved the book! I would like to read more! And the cover is great. Good work Yasmin! I hope that more will come. Angela, Switzerland

• You have created a visual and credible world. It is truly alluring and I loved that you started with the history of Souryha. We get to feel the tension and pain caused by misuse of magic. The story is captivating and poignant and it drew me in immediately. Your writing style is unique and gripping and it flows rather well. Shinzy, UK
