Rebel Planet hooked me immediately. Lyons writes with such clear, cinematic detail that every scene feels as if you’re watching a movie.
And the ending? Absolutely perfect. I’m all about last lines, and this one landed exactly the way I hoped it would.

Through Chronicles of the Grim Reaper, I found a new way to help—through words. Writing became a quiet way to offer understanding and comfort to others, and in the process, it gave that same peace back to me.

I completely agree with Harry—standing where they once stood fills you with wonder. What must they have felt, staring out into the unknown? The beauty of Sagres still calls us to explore, to question, and to discover more.
