Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022   Jessica Kemery has a bio at the end of her entertaining novel, The Suns of Ocaña, in which she lists some of her favorite things which are also my favorite things: caffeine, pets and family. Reading her novel transported me to another world where two suns, two moons and a dense fog swirl around a world where magic, monsters and creatures intersect with Princesses who like to take matters into their own hands and really do not like to wait for the male characters to come to their rescue. The novel follows the life of Bryn, a Princess of a Kingdom called Vale. Her family has a secret, and she needs to find it. In the process, she gets in touch with the magic around her past and within herself. Her best friend Nyla is a take charge and assertive person who always stands by Bryn. They face down some evil characters and take care to stay kind and positive during their ordeal. The novel was short at just over 200 pages and was quick reading. It was an enjoyable read and I really appreciated the fact that there was no profanity or graphic scenes. It was just a fun introduction to Kemery's world of Ocaña. She did some rather nice world-building, and I am looking forward to the next one in the series.   5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, highly imaginative, fast-paced and engaging.

The characters are all deep, well-developed and interesting; the plot has many unexpected twists that keep the reader interested and engaged until the end.
