That was an awesome review you make us aware of the basics of the story and the story line and I'm impressed you considered letting us know of some content that might be uncomfortable for some readers.

It sounds like this is a pretty complicated and unique story! I really appreciate books with diverse viewpoints, so the homosexual relationship here is a positive, not a negative, for me.

It's quite obvious you enjoyed your time with this one! I love the concept of alternate realities and the legends weaved into the mix. It's commendable that this first time author was able to grasp a not-so-original plot and create from it, a masterful page turner. Thanks for the concise review.

Thanks for the comment. I really did enjoy this book. The plot is 'not-so-original' as you mentioned but it is always worth it when an author knows how to make it come to life in the reader's mind.

A Sci-Fi book revolving around underground cities, intrigue, and alternative realities sounds intriguing. A mysterious being watches the two alternative realities he created, bot jar unhappy with their lot. Realistic characters, different perspectives, and good writing is the signs of a good book. It is to the author's credit that the book was well edited. I am not sure it is for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

Your enthusiasm for the book is contagious and I appreciate the honesty to say that it didn´t captivate you in the beginning. It´s not the kind of book I usually read but I enjoyed your review and the character development seems interesting. Thank you!
