Kudos to the author for giving this book a second round of editing to remove the errors, happy to read it has its results. Not being too much into sci-fi and romance, I am not the right audience for this. I must say that it is not the polygamy element that keeps me away from reading the book.

Though I dislike polygamy, the well-develop characters fascinated me as well as the storyline. Yanara's interesting story seems enjoyable to read about as if her people will be put back together. Besides, I like to know what are the supernatural powers of Snowfox, Hawklord, Asimia, and Wolfpack. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

The two plot points which the story revolves around are very interesting. It would be fascinating to learn how Yanara and her people would adapt to their new home while also being on edge by the fact that K'tul might be able to locate them.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This book seems a bit controversial to me. I think I'll pass it. However, I believe a lot of people would be interested in this kind of storyline. Nice review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

Interesting plotline with a touch of weird. Seeing how they survive the war is probably my greatest attraction to this book. Good review

This is an exciting and captivating work of fiction. I like the author descriptively created the world and the characters that they are well developed is a great feature of a good hook that I like to read and I hope they cross path again.

Heard amazing things about "Worldmaker of Yand-Polaris" by Andri E. Elia - a gripping story of survival, family, and love in a post-war setting. Can't wait to dive into this sci-fi adventure. Congratulations on being BOTD!

This sounds like a very different sci-fi novel than the dozens that are out there now. World-building is difficult, but your review makes it seem like the author has succeeded. I also like the idea of a family staying together throughout their difficulties.

The story is interesting, I like the premise of the galaxy recovering from a war. But I don't like the polygamy part. So I guess I skip this book. Thanks for the review.

Much as I love romance novels, this one is not quite what I would hope for. However, the story promises to be intriguing and unique. Thanks for the good review.

Pal, isn't this a weird book. And I believe saying this does not sound weird but it is just the truth. The romance will add to the fun of reading "Worldmaker of Yand - Polaris".

What I did not like about this book was the fact that Yanara had two spouses, a male and a female. I found this unnerving because she loved and cared for her wife more than her husband. I felt bitter for her husband, Frost, and I believe he deserved better because of how he loved, cherished, and clung to Yanara.
I completely agree, which leads me to believe that polygamy in the real world must be quite an unfair thing, too. But the importance placed on family is still a valuable lesson.
Great review!

I understand that this is a fantasy novel, but the story seems a bit too fantastic to my liking. I need some realistic elements to hold on to. The title is attractive, though.
