As part of my journey with my debut novel, Wonderment Within Weirdness, I wanted to see how professional reviewers would respond to my book. To do that, I commissioned a review from Self-Publishing Review (SPR), a site known for giving honest, in-depth takes on indie works.
I’m excited (and a little nervous) to share the full review here. Transparency is important to me, so I’ll note upfront: yes, this was a paid review — but that doesn’t mean it’s a puff piece. As you’ll see, they don’t hold back, and that’s exactly what I wanted: thoughtful critique, honest impressions, and a professional perspective.
Here’s what SPR had to say about Wonderment Within Weirdness:
“Wonderment Within Weirdness by Jaime David is a sci-fi screed with hidden wisdom amongst the madness… Despite some narrative stumbles, the author’s comic book style makes the story both visceral and accessible; the raw passion of the author is clear, and this manically strange adventure is in turns insightful, perplexing, and entertaining.”

Whether glowing or critical, I see every review as part of the process — a way to learn, grow, and better connect with readers. For me, this is just the beginning of getting Wonderment Within Weirdness out into the world.
