Born in 1993, British Fantasy Novelist Daccari Buchelli focuses on the darker side of human nature, with just a sprinkling of old school magic. Raised in Eastern England, he currently composes novels aimed at young adults. Realizing his love of language as a young child, Daccari spent all hours of the day reading and writing. Having Aspergers Syndrome (though only being diagnosed in his early twenties), he often struggled to identify well with his peers and often felt lonely, until he picked up a book. Fantasy Novels brought him into a sublime world of colour and creation, where he remains caught up to this day, as he works on the genre he most adores. When away from his trusty ball point pen, Daccari enjoys art and music, retro video games, as well as curling up with a good book and a nice cup of tea. 

5 stars.

Reviewed By Gracie Bradford for Readers’ Favourite

In Phoenix by Daccari Buchelli there’s plenty of action, lots of mythical and magical twists and turns. The setting occurs in Peradon, a once united land of religious faith with four ruling families.

Somewhere in the plot a division takes place, creating the Earth Realm, the Flame Realm, the Frost Realm and the Air Realm. Each realm takes on a life of its own. One has to read the book to understand the diabolical differences in the people and world of each realm. I found the Frost and Flame Realms to be the most fascinating.

If you want to read about a ruthless father, let me introduce you to Emperor Jugan who used his powers for evil versus good. The main character, Violetta, is torn between two handsome, on edge, sexy gentlemen, bringing the love angle into this mythical journey.

I generally do not read a 397- page novel, but this fantasy had enough suspense that kept me turning the pages. The poem at the beginning of the book - “Lady Arsonist” by Alex Scrine - lends a nice touch, stimulating the curiosity of content. Each of the 29 chapters tells a story that draws the reader into the role of the character. Each scene is riveting, with descriptive and vivid language. I had to read the entire book to bridge the title with the content, which keeps the reader engaged, wanting to find answers. Although a fantasy novel, it introduces into the plot a strong love story of evil versus kindness. Each character has the power to manipulate some aspects of the seasons, something which I think takes a remarkable mind to craft this story.
