I think Ahmid being beheaded by the army of the dead is downright spooky! Not sure I can handle this stuff. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

I have already read many stories about armies of the dead. However, the story is elaborate. The civil conflict that is present in the Kingdom of Naataros makes me curious. Also, the cover is a 10 out of 10. Thanks for the review.

I’m glad you were able to enjoy this because to be honest the sample really put me off… The language seemed really wooden and unnatural and the writing style generally didn’t speak to me at all, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you liked the book. The fact that it is easily understood and that it was edited very well are two big pluses. Sadly, I'm not a fan of the science fiction/fantasy genre so I will pass. I'm sure there are many who will be fans of this book and genre.

Compelling presentation. Sadly I'm not a fan of political fiction and so I'll have to pass on this one. But congratulations on being listed as Book of the day.

This seems to be an interesting fictional book. I hope the king can gather people as soldiers who have a mind to save the kingdom irrespective of the number of wars they have to fight. I'll be adding this to my bookshelf. Thanks for the review.

A New War is a book for readers that enjoy a great fantasy in a kingdom of heroic warriors that fight to keep their freedom from political arrest within
Naataros. The review shows how this adventure is full of dishonesty, chaos, and a resounding human sacrifices to live in peace, no matter the dangers or consequences that lie ahead. Congrats on BOTD!

I'm usually all in for an action-adventure novel, but this one is not connecting with me. Just from reading the OBC official review, it seems that the storyline is a bit complex and the book introduces a host of characters. I'm going to pass but I know others who love otherworldly novels will embrace this book.

The themes of freedom, love, and the unpredictable nature of humans in A New War have caught my attention. The protagonist, Barak Fares, torn between his retired life and the call of duty, adds depth to the story.
