Wake up
This simple text is an invitation that will change Indigo’s young life forever and bring into question everything she believes to be real. She must reclaim the Gift that was taught to her as a child and use it as a key to unlock the Introverse within her. There she must navigate a place both magically beautiful and lethal; the power and beauty of Paragon Tower hides a dark purpose, the ethereal forest harbors blood-thirsty creatures that take wing in the night and anthropomorphic vines that pull innocent victims beneath the ground. Throughout her journey Indigo forges deep bonds with the people who dwell in this strange world, a handsome archaeologist and his ungainly dog Bones, a girl who must hide her multi-hued skin from the world, and a tall, dark stranger who appears in Indigo’s dreams night after night until she awakens to find that he is all too real.
Indigo discovers that the Introverse is the place within her where past and present unite to reveal her unique destiny and who, or what, she really is.

Introverse is a creative adventure with some very cool details and characters with interesting backstories.The writing needs some polishing, however. It slips in and out of tense. Numerous phrases like "she noted, she knew, she saw, she noticed" weigh it down. Along with various typos, there are many, many errors with commas. Yes, comma rules are quite subjective. But not all of them. For example, the vocative comma is pretty cut and dry (Let's eat Grandpa vs Let's eat, Grandpa). Some readers won't care about all this, but the combined overall effect is distracting—and distancing—for people like me.
MINOR SPOILER ALERT
The coincidences are a little hard for me to swallow, but then again, if it's all in Indigo's head and nothing is really real, maybe that makes sense.
Unfortunately, I feel like Indigo isn't quite an active-enough participant in her own adventure. She is rescued over and over. She's also led everywhere by different people, messages, and signs. Because of this, I wonder if she really makes enough decisions and does enough to save herself to truly achieve the inner strength and self-discovery that she claims. Even near the end, when Baxter is trying to haul Reese up out of the cave during an earthquake, Indigo just sort of peers over the edge, waiting for Baxter to save him. It takes forever for her to start helping pull him up. If all the other characters are just facets of herself, then she does show a lot of initiative, but I still would have liked to see her core character develop more.
END SPOILERS
The novel shows a lot of creativity. The stories of Coral and Jade Rose are engaging, and the world has a nice feel.
There's also some really enjoyable banter, especially between Reese and Indigo. Here's my favorite: "You don't have to do this for me." "Don't worry. I'm doing this for me." And the way he calls her "mosquito"…priceless.

Introverse Paragon Series Book 1 edition by Jeanine Lipp Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Like many popular YA novels these days, this one centres on a young woman with unusual powers; Indigo has the ‘gift’ of being able to travel to an inner landscape or ‘Introverse’ where adventures are had, friends are made, enemies recognised and life-lessons learned. The writer has created a palpably real world of pseudo-medieval towns, lakes, forests and caves. She inter-mingles the known world with some curious imaginary animals, fruits and phenomena; there is no doubt that the Introverse is a vibrantly interesting, exciting and intriguing place to be. I think YA lovers of fantasy will lap this up.
Which is no accident. This semi-allegorical novel is specifically and carefully aimed at YA readers, particularly those who are coming to terms with bereavement, the consequences of past choices, remorse or other emotional trauma. The scope of possible issues is wide (too wide?), and the novel, commensurately, is quite long and rather complex, with stories-within-stories, sub-plots, back-story and a fully-realised geo-political landscape that Indigo gets lost in and where readers might, too.
Paragon’s ruling council insists on perfection in appearance, economy, efficiency, commerce and obedience, coming down very hard on those who fall short of these impossibly high standards. In their unyielding laws and cruel punishments we are encouraged to see the pointlessness of blaming ourselves for things we cannot help, how a constant sense of failure stifles personal growth and social compassion. Other characters and relationships - both healthy and unhealthy - explore the dead weight of self-blame and unforgiveness as well as the liberation and healing which come from compassion and personal acceptance. Truly there is much here to discuss and from which to draw important lessons. I think this book would be great for parents/carers and teenagers to read alongside each other, garnering insights as they go. Indeed I’d recommend that it is read that way. I think that, for some readers, the symbolisms and parallels will be a tad impenetrable, confusing minds already troubled.
Unfortunately I found the writing at times far too simplistic, at other times rather laboured. As a heroine, Indigo is very passive. Lists of rhetorical questions became wearisome after a while.
My overall impression of this book is that it has thrown its net out a bit too wide. Slimmed down, or divided into several more focused volumes I think the lessons could be easier to learn.
Great read! Full of adventure and imagination. A quest of self discovery for a young girl learning to love herself and others as she meets interesting characters along the way.
Introverse is a truly enjoyable romp through the multi-dimensional realms of Indigo's inner worlds as she is presented with and overcomes her own painful obstacles. Both friends and foes in the tale are nicely crafted and elevate Indigo's internal struggles to find herself, her mother, her way and her own gift. There is just enough young-blush eroticism for the YA audience and a healthy dose of fearful anticipation that keeps the story on pace and provocative.
