"The story offers philosophical and mystical aspects through the characters.
I loved the whimsical sketches as each character sprang to life
in the story that followed. I loved how the story unfolded,
connecting the different lands, particularly the good and evil characters.
I often found myself reading the verses aloud, both because of the poetic nature of free verse and how the story became an epic poem for me.
The Fantastical Poetic Stories of the Alchemist is a great read, with remarkable charactersand a fascinating and thought-provoking story of the Elixir of Life."
