What a great review! I definitely want to read this book after reading this and the sample. I am not always one for sci-fi but this one sounds so interesting.

A good reading pleasure kind of book that is at the same time educationally rich, is exactly the kind of book I wouldn't want to miss.

I'm not sure how I feel about the aliens but still sounds like a great story anyway. Nice review.

You gave a good summary of this book. The Earth was destroyed and two planets are at war with each other with a possible alien attack. The description of the Arpathians' treatment by the Iberians sound difficult, especially for Andreas, who is in the military and has special psychic powers and yet, he does not know who to trust and why people are using him. The book sounds like it was well written with all the different plots, twists and turns, and character development.

The protagonist won me over in the sample pages. This sounds like an excellent sci-fi/fantasy adventure. Thank you for your review.

The title itself is intriguing. The plot sounds action-packed and full of adventure. It is also interesting to read about the hierarchical systems which govern this world.

Firstly, excellent review, as always! I don't usually go in for military-based sci-fi, but this one has firmly grabbed my attention. Andreas is set up as a relatable and endearing character from the very beginning, and the author smoothly pulls you into being as curious about who he actually is as he is himself. I already had this one on my reading list, but I may just have to push it to the top now!

While I do enjoy science fiction, I do not enjoy combat-focused literature.

I like that this book is complete and can be enjoyed on its own. It sounds like the author developed a complex society within this whole new galaxy. This book sets up the world and culture with a complete story, yet opens the door for others stories to be written within this same well-developed world.

I found this review to be only mediocre, even if they took into account the editing errors in the rating. The first issue I had was the reviewer saying there aren’t many well written sci-fi/fantasy books. The second issue I had was the lack of story specific words, from the races to the abilities.

Just the fact of the two planet people are at war with each other sounds good then to ad aliens to it makes it sound over the top interesting.

This was in my list of suggested review opportunities and I wasn't sold for the same reason you were saying- sci-fi/fantasy books are all too often written horribly. This review has piqued my interest.

The plot seems really intriguing. The characters seem well-built. Can't wait to dive into this sci-fi fantasy. Congrats on BOTD!

This book is rather long. My main attraction was the strong female characters. Master is a lovable character. The political intrigues and conspiracies were nicely handled maintaining tension through out the book.

For those looking for a book that mixes Science Fiction and Fantasy, extraterrestrial wars, all wrapped up in a plot that you just can't put down, it sounds like this book is for you.
