Jason Side Identity by Ibrahim Shabazz Book Review
“𝓔𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓸𝓹𝓮𝓷. 𝓔𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓬𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮.”

Who am I, and what have I caused?
I've been asking myself that plenty of times. Well now I know I'm a Demigod, so that changes things; if anything,
it adds more weight to this. Now there are Monsters hunting me and I have to escape across the country with two
Demigods to get to safety. That's not even half of it. What about the calamity of the fighting between the Gods?
And Levaveus? How do I fight in these circumstances? I can't forget any of this. Not even for a second.
How will I take accountability in this world, which should not even exist?
I will do what I must.

Ibrahim Shabazz blends philosophy and adventure in his entertaining fantasy book, Jason Side Identity. The protagonist, Jason, is a young boy raised in foster care. His life takes a total turn when a mysterious acquaintance appears at his school, followed by monsters and demigods. On understanding that he is a demigod, Jason starts his quest to find out his roots. Besides, he also needs to fight against the monsters to keep his world safe.
Jason Side Identity is a story of self-discovery and acceptance. The author does a marvelous job of answering philosophical questions while keeping the plot an entertaining adventure. The work clearly shows Shabazz's rigorous and extensive research behind the creation of a magical world that deals with universal human emotions. It is a thought provoking read that pushes readers to think deeply. I loved how Shahbaz deals with the identity crisis so sensitively that it makes us question things and analyze our purpose. The chapters are very organized and well-structured. Each chapter begins with a title that imposes a philosophical question that pushes readers to walk on the path of self-realization. The story is written from the first-person perspective of Jason, so we get the entire picture of his mind. Thus, readers roam around the fictional world of Jason in the shoes of creativity Shabazz has provided us.
The book deals with a wide range of characters. The characters are well developed. I loved how the side characters are also dealt with care. They actually contribute to the plot and make the story more enjoyable. The author slowly but efficiently builds the world. He takes ample amount of time to create a unique world where his creativity would run free to provide a wonderful experience to readers. His characters and plot may be fictional, but they actually represent real-world issues. His God, demigods, and monstars are actually symbolic representations of people with varied sets of minds. With a diverse range of characters, a skillful writing style, and easy but elegant language, Jason Side Identity is a treat to all urban fantasy fans.
