"This novel is an immersive experience, rich in mythical landscapes and layered with intriguing, interconnected stories. [...] Where the book truly excels is in its fusion of mystery and fantasy, with twists and turns that constantly surprise the reader. [...] The House of Shi offers a brilliantly crafted blend of action, mystery, and fantasy, all backed by strong technical execution. The short chapters, multicultural depth, and well-structured narrative make it a highly engaging read for both younger and older audiences." ~~ Literary Titan, 5-star review "Anyone who has read The Night of the Moon [Serpent], Book 1 of the World Beyond series, will not be surprised at the level of excellence of The House of Shi. Amaia S. Li brings a different level of suspense, engaging conversations, and language to this book. I love the use of flashbacks and how the author carries the reader along with every scene. I also love the way David's and Anna's stories are told independently of each other and the perfect harmonization that comes at the end. The themes of youthful exuberance,love, decision-making, and regrets are also explored." ~~ Adanna Ora for Readers' Favorite, 5-star review "Li is a master at turning things on their heads, of making you question how real the current reality is. Not only are characters shapeshifting from human forms to animal-like creatures, characters who we thought as lost forever could still be found and trustworthy friends toe the line of foes. Nothing is what it seems; you'll be flipping these pages hastily, desperate to see how the next conundrum will unfold." ~~Jaylynn Korrell for Independent Book Review Twelve-year-old David Luke knows that he has the power to transform himself into an amaru, a mythological Peruvian dragon—if only he could figure out how. But being a dragon means trouble ahead. Strange worlds, mysterious creatures, and more danger than he ever counted on await him. In his quest to realize his powers, protect his mother, and save his father's life, David is thrust into the Land of Eternal Dusk where he cannot trust his eyes, never mind those he encounters. It is in this dimension that lies between the World Above and the World Beyond where once again he must confront Dr. Máximo Rojas, a powerful sorcerer bent on forcing the amarus to do his will. Though David must find the way to tap into his dragon powers before he can thwart his enemies, he's ready to face whatever he must—even Rojas, his most dangerous nemesis—to make sure all he loves is safe.
