Even though I'm sure this is a lovely book, I've very much had it with Covid, and reading about a plague-ravaged world is not in the cards for me right now. Nevertheless, I congratulate Ms. Fostino on BOTD.

I have mixed emotions on whether I want to read this book or not. While I usually enjoy dystopian novels, this one appears to hit a bit too close to home with it's similarities to the real-life current pandemic. I think it may be one I would enjoy several years from now rather than during our current situation. Thank you for the informative review.

'Official Review: Plume of Fire' by Marie Fostino has a potent introduction! I like the way in which the reviewer explores the issues, the book raises! The point that the author emphasizes the need to love and care for one another and this is how the Creator wants us to live on Earth is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the point that the author clearly intends to bring some societal ills like rape, aggression, and covetousness to light in this book as mentioned in the review is remarkable for readers! Nice to learn that the author's impeccable worldbuilding ability in the book is enjoyable to read!

Surviving the pandemic isn't a childs play, and it will take Gods intervention for love to reign over all. What and intriguing story.

Plume of Fire reminds me of Genesis in the Bible, wow!. Marie got it and the way the massage focused on people's attitude. People are not willing to change why not?.
Thank you so much review team for the insightful review. The book is so interesting, I went on read the sample chapter.
Thank you #BOTD

I think that this pandemic has inspired many people to reevaluate their relationships to others and in society as a whole. I also believe that this pandemic has inspired authors to do the same, but through the medium of books. I like the mixing of genres with the Biblical references throughout the novel as well as the elements of science fiction. I do think that many religiously unaffiliated or atheists would enjoy this book because of its connection to the present day and the apocalyptic themes.

God trying to destroy the world through covid-19 is an interesting viewpoint. Although, I believe that those who were really affected by the devastation of the virus may find this book a little bit insensitive.

This dystopian fantasy novel seems to be pretty unique. Sarah also seems to be a good person who spreads love and kindness. It also has some references to the coronavirus pandemic and some biblical references too. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

It's great that the author was able to convey a captivating narrative and a memorable group of characters in such a short amount of time! This sounds like a really interesting dystopian book based on recent times.

Most times, human beings prove to be incorrigible as regards living a God-standard life. I love Sarah and Ricky for having decided to take their race seriously no matter the opposition from others. Thanks for the review.

Sarah's personality is really attractive as she's described as brave and determined. She's definitely my idea of an ideal woman and to think of the fact that she's compassionate?? That's worthy of note. I'm a Christian and I love fantasy so this book is definitely for me.
