“Britta Jensen's epic world building shines and the story is full of mystery, suspense, and heart. I'm looking forward to more stories in this universe." Amanda Bennett, Midday Moonrise Blog
"A well-written narrative of disability, dystopia, and exploration, featuring a main character with partial sight. Eloia Born is both a dystopian narrative and a quest story; consider it a spiritual successor to Lois Lowry's The Giver and M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. We learn quickly that the people in Leanora's community are not blind by chance, but by design..." Nicole Dieker, Discover Reedsy
