Review of The Oracle II ~ Doubtful Rays of the Sun by Joanna M. Pilatowicz

Date: 19 September 2019

Written in third person POV, the Doubtful Rays of the Sun by Joanna M.Pilatowicz is the second book in the Oracle Series.

The blurb is as follows:

Jasmin, a young artist seeks a brighter future in the Netherlands where she is just an Immigrant, but she is longing to be an Expat. Among the challenges of living abroad are both the mundane reality and the nightmares that accompany her at night. She dreams about a priestess Sarah from ancient Egypt, an Oracle, who as a result of her search for immortality, is cursed. Through astral travels, Jasmin watches how life on Earth was influenced by alien races. Sarah’s magic mirrors portray the origin of humankind where non-human beings rule the world. So-called gods look like mythological creatures – hybrids.
Jasmin’s self-doubt and low esteem do not allow her to believe that reincarnation exists or that she could exhibit psychic or telepathic abilities and lucid dream.
How could she believe in Ea – an engineer of a man, the Annunaki race, vampires, demons or angels belonging to myths and legends. And above all that Sarah could be her, in an earlier life.

Following her intuition, Jasmin looks for employment as a dancer across Europe. Thwarted by etheric forces attempting to shape her reality through dreams and daily existence, she pushes through her fears, not willing to be “swallowed up by life.”


Review:

When you read the blurb, you will think that you know what's this book is going to be about. You might make your own assumptions.
But trust me, this book is nothing what you might have thought it is going to be about. Be prepared to expect the unexpected.
I feel like that this was a very well thought of book and the writing is clean and scrupulous.
I don't want to spoil the story, so I am not going to give any details, but I can definitely say that I could relate with Jasmin so much since I am a girl living in a different country away from my birth country. There were few instances where I immediately felt a connection towards her.
At first, the parts and bits of Sarah seemed to be a bit confusing to me. But rest assured, as the story progresses, and you start getting to know things, it all makes sense. The two timelines are somewhat muddlesome, but only in the beginning. Later, they become quite interesting.
'Gone with the wind' is one of my favorite movies and I actually squealed when I came across it's tiny reference in the book.
It doesn't at all feel like you are just reading a book. You actually feel like you are experiencing the story.
So, definitely give this book a try if you want to read something that is anything above what you are anticipating.
I will give this book 5 Stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



About the Author:


Joanna M. Pilatowicz is an adult's coach, dancer, dance teacher, choreographer, author, abstract painter, and recording artist. She has lived in Poland, The Netherlands and currently resides in Germany.

Her master thesis, "Expansion Through Dance," explored the concept of using dance as a healing media, positively influencing not only body, but mind and soul as well.

Life in the Netherlands inspired her to write her first short stories, in Polish language, hiding some of observed reality behind the veil of fantasy. As she says, "Passing the borders of reality, I would say I am entering the world of fantasy, dreamland, and paranormal; however it is all still connected to everyday life."

"I was always drawn by what's invisible to a human eye. At the same time, probably from a desire to understand my own Self and motives more, I started to write diaries which unfolded in an unexpected way. So I just followed it."

"The supernatural creatures in my books and paranormal aspects present there are my own ways of expressing my reality, linking non - fiction with a feeling world as well as adding some sort of higher force to it."

"It is my own metaphor for different roles from our so-called subpersonalities that perhaps want to share their story with us, in order for us to grow, explore, experience or have a more fulfilling life. I do my best to follow these inner voices, giving them space and grabbing their message."
