Reviews for the Colliding Line Duology
For Mortal Sight
“A unique blend of fantasy and literary elements.”
– School Library Journal
“An absorbing fantasy about a teenager’s struggle to discover her destiny.”
– Foreword Reviews
“With frequent references to Milton, Mortal Sight is a promising beginning to an intriguing series.”
– Lorehaven Magazine
“Delightfully spooky with characters you can care about.” — C.C. Hunter, New York Times bestselling author.”
– C.C. Hunter
“Mortal Sight was everything I wanted and more. In her brooding debut, Sandra Fernandez Rhoads hits familiar, beloved notes of the urban fantasy genre while bringing a unique melody all her own. My humanities-loving heart geeked out over the art history and classic literature references, while the action-packed plot twists kept me turning pages well past my bedtime. I can’t wait to see what she does next!”
– Lindsay A. Franklin, award-winning author of The Story Peddler
“Absolutely riveting from start to finish! An ode to the arts wrapped in a fast-paced, friendship-fueled, YA urban fantasy adventure, driven by a spunky protagonist you can’t help but root for. Make this your next binge read. You won’t regret it!”
– Gillian Bronte Adams, author of The Songkeeper Chronicles
“An unabashed piece of Milton fan fiction, MORTAL SIGHT concerns a heroine who at critical moments finds prophetic guidance in verses of Paradise Lost. It’s compulsively readable, especially its fight scenes. I highly recommend it.”
– Prof. John Rumrich, University of Texas at Austin
For Realms of Light
“Realms of Light propels The Colliding Line duology to a breathless, dazzling conclusion. What Sandra Fernandez Rhoads began in Mortal Sight is expanded, enriched, and deepened in Realms. I loved it.”
– Lindsay A. Franklin, award-winning author of The Story Peddler
“Rhoads uses the best of fantasy fiction to cleverly blend in Paradise Lost. A fast-paced story driven by intimate portrayals of characters, rich settings, and a vibrant plot that leads to a surprising yet satisfying conclusion.”
– Angelica Duran, President of the Milton Society of America and Professor at Purdue University
“Realms of Light is a beautiful, clever ending to this duology. New friends, new enemies, and new mysteries await in this bewitching tale!”
– Gabriella Graves, Disney Channel actress
“The dark, fantastic adventure that began in Mortal Sight yields new and surprising revelations in this thrilling sequel. Rhoads is a YA fantasy author to watch!”
– R.J. Anderson, award-winning author of The Flight and the Flame trilogy
