Publisher’s Book Summary: Thirteen-year-old Enelope Noe is a Chimera of legend. It makes no difference that she doesn’t resemble the three-headed monster most people expect. Enee is a Chimera—a Chimera on a mission to steal a priceless Grail Stone for a chance at a better life for her family. But as Enee approaches her goal, she gains a power unheard of among Chimeras. Or is it? Suddenly, the world is not what Enee has been led to believe. A history of forgotten horrors unravels the truth behind this newfound gift, casting doubt on everything Enee has been told about who she is. But if Enee accepts these abilities for her family’s sake, can she bear the cost of uncovering a destiny far greater than anyone thought possible?

MY REVIEW
Book Review: The Chronicles of Noe: The Chimera and The Grail Tree by Corlis C. Fraga
Okay, so I just finished The Chronicles of Noe: The Chimera and The Grail Tree by Corlis C. Fraga…. and honestly, I wasn’t ready for how much I’d end up loving it. I went in thinking it’d be a straightforward fantasy adventure, but it turned out to be so much more layered and emotional than I expected.
The main character, Enelope “Enee” Noe, completely stole my heart. She’s messy, stubborn, loyal, and makes all the wrong choices for the right reasons — which, let’s be real, makes her feel pretty human. When she steals a Grail Stone to help her family, it sets off this wild, magical chain of events full of secrets, history, and danger. But what really got me wasn’t the magic (though it’s so cool) — it was the emotion. You feel her confusion, her guilt, her hope.
Fraga’s writing is beautiful but not pretentious….. it’s the kind that sneaks up on you. The world feels mysterious and ancient, but grounded in real feelings. By the end, I found myself just sitting there, thinking about the choices we make for the people we love, and how much courage it takes to face the truth. If you like fantasy with heart…. something that’s equal parts adventure and emotion then this book is totally worth adding to your TBR. I’m already counting down for the next in the series.

What a compelling review, you’ve captured how The Chronicles of Noe: The Chimera and The Grail Tree by Corlis C. Fraga takes a classic fantasy premise (stealing a Grail Stone!) and flips it by putting a Chimera girl at the heart of the journey. Your breakdown of how the story unfolds, layering duty, power, identity and secret histories, makes me want to dive into it immediately and see which surprises await.
