I’d need to take a look at the first book, but this really seems like something I’d enjoy. Thank you so much for the review, you really made it sound great.

It's an intriguing thought to consider having two spouses. She liked her wife more than her husband, as you pointed out. I don't believe that two persons can be loved equally. Great review!

Nice review. I have read a small part of this book. It makes a lot more sense after your review. The spouse references threw me. I had not read far enough to know this was a male and a female spouse. Thank you for the review

Since this is a work of fiction, it's normal for me to see characters with more than one significant other. Science fiction and fantasy are full of possibilities, and I guess in the OBC review that there's no acknowledgment for "compersion". Polyamory is not my thing, but if others are happy with it, who am I to judge? I like the humorous take on things, so I'll give this book a chance. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This is a positive review of "Worldmaker of Yand - Polaris" by Andri E. Elia, which follows the story of Yanara, a worldmaker, and her family rebuilding after a devastating war. The reviewer praises the clear descriptions of characters, engaging narrative style, and sneaked-in humor. The novel portrays a strong balance between family and leadership while being kind and compassionate. The reviewer didn't like the fact that Yanara had two spouses, which might disturb some readers. Overall, the book is recommended to fans of sci-fi, fantasy, and romantic novels, with a 5 out of 5 star rating.

This fantasy novel sounds spellbinding, engaging, and difficult to put down. I have to be sure to read the first book of the series before reading this one. Great review!

What a weird combination to have a wife and a husband. I am against this so I will pass on this book. Thanks for the informative review!

The outstanding re-review of Worldmaker of Yand - Polaris brings a new family group with different dynamics to the front in this sci-fi book, the second of a trilogy. This sounds and reads as absolutely fascinating, and I am sure it will draw me in to the entire trilogy. Thank you for taking the time to re-review so I am able to get to know this author and dapple in the sci-fi genre again. Your review lets me know I will be captivated throughout the book. Thank you.

A sci-fi novel featuring a strong and compassionate female protagonist seems intriguing. I wonder how Yanara and her people will recover from the aftermath of the war. Congrats on BOTD!

This sounds like a very complex and well-developed fantasy plot. I am intrigued by the world-maker and the characters’ special abilities. Thanks for your detailed review!
