In this fantasy, the world maker seems to be in total control of her planet as she moves the fourth moon from its orbit and uses it as a shield between the Yand and the enemy's spaceship. Fantasies that involve space adventures always find space in my reading list.

The review created suspense on if she gets control over her power and if the shield is impenetrable.

This is a fantasy fiction. Andri E Elia seems to be very imaginative and creative in developing the fantasy plot and characters. The protagonist Yanara is an interesting strong character. You have written the review so well. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I'm so glad you mentioned the laid-back approach of the book, as I felt that too. Yes, the worlds and characters are excellent creations, but I felt this was a bit too much preamble. Thanks for the review, it confirmed my thoughts too.

Great review! I feel like you have set a high standard for this book. It can be difficult to find a well-written book that doesn't lack detail when it comes to fantasy worlds. In my opinion, not many books contain pictures, so it will be interesting to see how this adds to the reading experience. I'm definitely looking forward to reading this book :)

This looks like an interesting fantasy novel. The unique plotline and characters sounds intriguing. The illustrations included in the book will make the characters more real for me. I would love to see what happens with Yanara. Congrats on BOTD!

This book sounds like a fascinating fantasy story that bends the fantasy/sci-fi barrier, perhaps even bordering on science fantasy. Since I’m a big fan of such genre-bending, this book seems to be right up my alley. The cover is also beautiful. Thank you for the helpful review.

"Yildun" by Andri E. Elia is a sci-fi book about a worldmaker and a celstial wizard. Unfortunately, she cannot focus her power and her acts result in horrrible consequences. Yanara moves Calypso, Yand's fourth moon, out of it's orbit to protect her planet from the fleet of spaceships firepower. This is an amazing fantasy that all should read. The character names are unusual but it reminds me of Star Wars.
