Where to start? Absolute cinema! That’s right, that’s the very first thing I have to say about this story. But what more can I say, you might ask? Let Atsutashi tell you everything you need to know.😎

First, let’s talk about the pacing. Not too fast, not too slow—there’s always something happening to keep you eager for more. The setting is well written, drawing you into the world alongside the characters. Time simply flies as you read.😲

And what more can I say about the characters than that they are simply lovable? I adored the MC and the side characters from their very first appearances. You get to watch them grow, they can make you cry, but most importantly, they’ll take root in your heart. Everything they do will resonate with you deeply.😍❤️

As for the worldbuilding, I loved the vivid descriptions. I could easily imagine the places and how the characters moved through them. Uriel’s unique touch gives the world a distinctive flavor, leaving you wanting to explore not only the setting itself but the whole world beyond!🏜️

Finally, the part you’ve been waiting for: the story itself. Incredible. Entertaining. Beautiful. Emotional. And those are just a few words to describe it. You’ll live through the journey and the emotions it shares with you. You’ll cry, you’ll laugh, you’ll find moments irresistibly cute—but you’ll never be bored, I can assure you. From start to finish, the story flows seamlessly, balancing and transitioning between key events without ever breaking its rhythm. The prose and vocabulary, enhanced by rich descriptions, make it all the more powerful.🤗

I devoured 'Half-Elf Messiah' and will definitely be looking forward to more if Uriel decides to write another volume. It’s without a doubt one of the best novels I’ve read from the contest, and I’ll gladly recommend it to anyone who wants their emotions stirred in every way—and who’s searching for a great story by a great author.😁
