About the book

“Four Feats” invites readers into the unknown, where every page is a step into magic, peril, and destiny. In a world cursed by the Blue Moon, four immortal kings remain trapped behind the mirror, awaiting their liberator. That savior may be Antoine, an ordinary boy who accidentally breaks the boundary between reality and legend. Each feat he faces is a battle with shadows of the past, each choice a challenge to eternity itself. This novel is a whirlwind of emotions, where passion burns like fire and mystery cloaks like mist, keeping hearts racing and imagination wandering through realms where anything is possible.

    For fans of Carlos Ruiz Zafón (especially The Shadow of the Wind) or Haruki Murakami. The atmosphere of an ancient hotel, mystical mirrors, and the enigmatic Lucius create a perfect blend of the real world and the beyond—where magic doesn't "hurl fireballs" but instead whispers in the mist.

    I can't decide whether this is philosophical prose, a coming-of-age novel, an existential parable, or an intellectual allegory. The text operates on the level of symbol rather than event, which makes it twice as interesting.

    When I was reading the novel, I was particularly struck by the question of identity and memories. Antoine's reflections by the mirror ("Who am I? Are these my memories?") strongly remind me of the dilemmas faced by Dick's characters (or in the movie "Blade Runner"). The question of whether biological origin makes us "real" is central to both works. However, Orianets weaves these questions into a magical, almost mythological context of the "looking-glass world," while Dick operates within a grim futuristic detective story.

    An interesting topic of technological control over birth. Lucius's discussions about artificial wombs and "ideal" genes directly reference Huxley's "incubators." Both works raise the question: can happiness without suffering be genuine? At the same time, there is a difference: Huxley depicts an already formed, stable society, while in "Four Feats" we see the moment of choice, when the characters (Sophie and Antoine) reject "convenience" in favor of "humanity."

    Due to the small number of likes, I thought it was some kind of rubbish. But I started reading it to the kids because they asked, and I was pleasantly surprised. Very interesting adventure fantasy. We read it over the weekend.

    Chapter 1. This reads very inspiringly and calmly, with a sense of hope. Watching his dream gradually take shape makes me genuinely root for him.

    Jane DoeThank you for your feedback. I'm glad the first chapter touched you! Indeed, the atmosphere in it is warm and motivating — from Antoine's childhood drawings to his first steps in the big city, where the dream of the future takes clear shape. And this is just the quiet beginning of a great adventure, where hope for success intertwines with everyday challenges. Have you moved on to the next chapters yet?

    If you are drawn to books in the spirit of Paulo Coelho, Bernard Werber, or Anthony Peard, but with a modern aesthetic, "Four Feats" might be a discovery for you. A novel about the struggle not with evil, but primarily with oneself. About how to find your "self" when the world is falling apart. And about why the hardest feat is learning to love.

    A powerful epilogue that combines romance, philosophy, and drama, emphasizing the triumph of love over chaos. It instills hope, leaving the reader with a warm sense of life's cyclical nature. The style is poetic and emotional, perfect for the genre of adventure prose with sci-fi elements. The text encourages reflection on humanity in the modern world, making it not only entertaining but also thought-provoking.

    A blend of myth and modernity. Here, shadows dance on the walls, the sea whispers eternal secrets—and nearby, you hear youthful slang like “bro” or “vibe.” The style is poetic, the chapters short, with mandatory cliffhangers—storms, rituals, disappearances. This keeps the rhythm, but at times it feels oversaturated: fantasy, urban fantasy, sci-fi, melodrama—all mixed in one closet where it’s easy to get lost. The main themes are self-discovery, the meaning of choice, and responsibility. The author offers a new vision of heroism: not in battles, but in the ability to do the right thing, even when alone. The ending—about parenthood, about a clean slate that still carries the legacy of the past. It’s an optimistic note, but for our time, it’s almost a fairy-tale escape. “Four Feats” reads like a good fable—light and beautiful, with depth hidden behind its imagery. At the same time, it lacks the “salt of life”—those wounds that never heal. Therefore, this book is more a mirror of our dreams than of reality.

    Serhiy ZhadanThank you for your insightful feedback. You captured the pulse of "Four Feats," where myths dance with modernity. And I’m glad that this fable became a mirror of dreams for you — even if it lacks a few scars of reality.

    Fantasy that doesn't escape from reality but leads to it. Different heroes. Different feats. But each one is a path to oneself.

    Myths clash with reality. "Four Feats" is about love, revenge, faith, and hope. All in one book!

    SerhiyThank you! Your review is like a sharp dagger that strikes straight to the heart! Short, but fiery: "Myths clash with reality" – it’s like thunder on a clear day, instantly gripping the soul. And then – love, revenge, faith, hope – everything that makes us human, gathered in one phrase, like treasures in a chest. Alive, emotional, it calls to open the book and dive into it headfirst. I like it because it promises an adventure.
