Ophia’s Sister-Soul (Parting the Veils) by Seth T. Mullins is a haunting and philosophically rich fantasy that traverses parallel realities, spiritual awakening, and the emotional landscape of loss. On the one side, we're with Colleen Addison, who is reeling from the death of her twin and haunted by visions of another world. On the other is Esperidi Mon-Sequana, a Dreamer in the world of Ophia, which is a place plagued by imbalance and scarred by forgotten trauma. As their narratives unfold in harmony, each woman embarks on a journey that is both internal and epic. The bond between them stretches across planes of existence, pulling them together through dreams, rituals, and grief-wrought insight. With blood rites, fractured gods, and mythic resonance, Mullins delivers a fantasy that reads as both fable and elegy.
Author Seth T. Mullins has a real skill for transporting people into the themes and emotions of his story, and that makes the novel as much about the soul as it is about the plot. I was struck by the way Colleen's and Esperidi’s narratives mirrored and informed each other, like dream and waking reality entwining together. The world-building is lush, textured, and full of symbolic weight, while the prose itself often borders on poetic. Rather than relying on typical fantasy tropes, Mullins elevates the genre with meditative themes about purpose, identity, and the cost of spiritual neglect. Overall, Ophia’s Sister-Soul is an intimate, myth-infused fantasy that invites deep reflection and offers something rare in taking grief and wonder hand in hand, and I'd certainly recommend it.
