[Following is a volunteer review of "Romance Trilogy Book 1 - Endless Echoes of the Soul" by M. R. Avis.]
"Romance Trilogy Book 1 - Endless Echoes of the Soul" by M. R. Avis tells the tale of the forbidden love and romance between a moon god priestess, Amina, and a Nilevalor warrior, Ahmed. As a priestess, Amina is to have no sexual involvement with another man. As the commander of the Nilevalor warriors, the king has asked Ahmed to marry the princess, Elara. Meanwhile, in a previous lifetime, Amina and Ahmed were involved in a romance that faced challenges. In the present lifetime, their love is threatened by societal obligations and enemies from a previous lifetime. Will they eventually be together in this lifetime?
I enjoy reading romance stories, even though I can't entirely agree with some of the outcomes. However, the mere fact that people are willing to go to any length, including dying, to show how much they love someone stimulates me. This book perfectly tells a romance story that keeps readers glued to their seats from start to finish.
Each chapter of the book (except Chapter 17) was told from either Ahmed's or Amina's point of view. This first-person narrative style helped me see the story from each main character's perspective. Also, not focusing on one character's POV provided a balance to the story being told. For instance, I could use Ahmed's dreams to get some missing details from Amina's dreams of their past lives.
I liked that I was not confused about each character's name and role in their present lifetime and previous existence. It was easy for me to know that Ahmed, the commander of Nilevalor warriors, used to be Seth, the king's cupbearer's son. I also did not struggle to connect Amina, the moon god priestess, to Nerti, the king's daughter. Even their adversaries were not difficult to identify, both in the present and in the past. Although I would have enjoyed encountering some difficulties in making these connections, I didn't mind how easy the author made it, as it helped me flow seamlessly with the story.
This book was not a complicated read, even though it constantly moved from the present to the past and back again. However, there were surprises the author sprung in the book that made me scream. Just when I thought I had figured out the story's main villain, the author switched things up. There was an unlikely villain in the story. I'd allow readers to find out for themselves.
I did my best to find a fault in this book but couldn't. The author knew what to do and did it excellently. The editors also did a fantastic job of making the book free of grammar and spelling issues. I have no choice but to rate it a 5 out of 5. I recommend the book to lovers of ancient romance stories about forbidden love.
