The Power of the Emerald Ring, has received a 5 Star award from the book review service Readers’ First. Here is the review from reviewer KC Finn:

The Power of the Emerald Ring: A Dragonstone Story is a work of
fiction in the fantasy genre and the second book in the Dragonstone
series. It is aimed at children and young people new to reading and
was penned by author Mark M. Even. Follow the adventures of
Mandy Mandez and her family as they discover their ability to
harness magic under the tutelage of the wizard J. T. The story sees
Mandy and her family trying to determine the best way to use their
powers for good, despite the presence of an evil wizard seeking to
hoard all the wealth and power that they can. What results is a
highly engrossing magical fantasy tale that is sure to keep young
readers turning pages from cover to cover.
Author Mark M. Even has crafted a spellbinding work of children’s
fiction with plenty of charm and innovation to offer its readers. One
of the most essential features of this work is the talent the author
displays in worldbuilding through such details as the magical
powers that Mandy can wield and how these powers can be
adapted, or even abused by those with evil on their minds. The
book is highly accessible and dramatic without being frightening,
making it a wonderful reading experience for solo readers. I could
also easily see its bright and inspiring message being a lovely
classroom read too. Overall, I would highly recommend The Power
of the Emerald Ring to fans of classic fantasy tales, imaginative
children’s fiction, and for young independent readers everywhere.
