A review by fromthebookshelfofdreams
The Chrysalis Key by E.P. Bali

4.0

A fantastic debut novel packed full of engaging characters that have been thrust together on a mysterious adventure.

I found myself very easily sucked into the tale that Bali has given us. Her world building was well executed, and descriptive writing style allows for readers to easily conjure up images and paint scenes within their minds.

The Chrysalis Key shines focus on the theme of friendship, and showcases how it strengthens and thrives amidst chaotic drama. Told in multi-POV, each character is given a truly unique voice and their very own set of problems to overcome and goals to achieve. I became quite attached to all of them, and hope to one day see some spin-off books for certain characters.

A captivating read from beginning to end. It is very easy to immerse yourself in Bali’s writing, and I am looking forward to the second book in the series.
