Critical Reception:
The characters in Habilis: The Aura Seed are as compelling as the world they inhabit. Each one is distinct and memorable, adding layers of depth to the story. Their relationships are authentic and relatable, emphasizing the power of camaraderie in the face of adversity. " -JayisGames

"Habilis: The Aura Seed is a marvelous read that has its readers experience the thrill, excitement, and fear that accompanies one on an adventure... I am excited to read the second book and hope that readers of all ages can enjoy this book as much as I did." -Gina, GoodReads

"Habilis: The Aura Seed might be the ultimate night-time book, with it's various cliffhangers and diverse story-telling. My son would often ask us in the morning what we think will happen or if we think the characters will make it out. This kind of immersion into the story is exactly what we were hoping for him and the introduction of chapter books." -EmptyCharacter
