This book looks like something different, especially when combining the human and animal worlds. It highlights aspects that are a problem in real-life such as abuse but also manage to teach the reader about marriage, friendship, and motherhood. It seems like a good read. Well done to the author!

Although it only consists of 121 pages, it sounds like it packs a punch. It's good to know that the story flows at a steady pace and displays good writing. I enjoyed reading your insightful review!

Wonderful review!

I really like the idea behind this book, the combination of human and animal world. As a person who loves animals this appeals to me. I like that this is a shorter book as I look for those to read in between larger books. From what I’ve read so far I like the writing style of the author so I will likely read the book in full.

Great review. Upon reading this book, I found the writing style easy to follow. I am fascinated to see where the story roams. In the beginning, you really see Maggie struggle between herself and her obligations. Her daughter is a good example. Maggie wants to be a better mom, but just lacks the energy. Most moms can relate I am sure. It will definitely be one I finish.

I do enjoy stories that merge human lives with the animal kingdom, so while disappearances and abuse components don't pull me in, the anthropomorphic melding might. Thank you for providing such an informative analysis!

Authors with this kind of imagination makes reading so enjoyable. Intertwining the human and the animal world this well deserved an applause. Good job.

This book sounds like a great blend of fantasy and adventure. From everything highlighted in this review, I think this story would have been more enjoyable if it was told from multiple perspectives, including Hannah's and princess Kazi's.
Nice review.
Live and let live, baby.
