I've seen this book floating around; I'm happy you enjoyed it so much. That's an enlightening comparison you've made between this and the fantasy world you had been exploring. Thanks for your fresh take.

I loved this book as well. I like the way you describe the plot, separating the three women. I really like the way the author showed different perspectives without having to over explain. Thanks for the great review

"Fascinated by the chaos that make up families!" You just put these words in a remarkable tone. Kalayla is indeed a must read book.

Latest Review: The Elf Revelation by Jordan David

Magic in the mundane. I like that. I've certainly read my share of non-magical stories that are full of magic. Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for your review.

Latest Review: Thunder and Lightning, They're Not So Frightening by JD Schmith

Post by Wesusa »

Great review! It is well-written, and brought me to the conclusion that this book may not be for me. It evokes too many thoughts of other very similar types of media I did not enjoy.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

Latest Review: Love and Marriage by Arthur Hartz

Post by Adrian Rondon Salazar »

I can not agree more, the calm that this book gives is incredible. Also love how the author indicated the season. In short, a beautiful book but I would have liked to know more about the story of Lena's son, Mark. I loved your review, thank you.
