You have given readers a comprehensive overview of the book by a well-read reader such as: Ramsay's friends turned farmily, Ramsay complimented the Gazaunsee's unique skills and and tricks with humorous details in it. With the learns about leadership, relationships ... which is highly informative and educational ...

Latest Review: Orinthia by Most Everyone

Post by Qwerty Writes »

I enjoy reading books with wholesome funny, unique characters. It was different from what I expected with the main theme being leadership. I know a lot of books focus on love but I was glad that Ramsay stuck with his passion, though it still lingers that he and Irina didn't work out. Your review was perfect and I liked how you chose to describe its main message. :lol2:

My oh my, from the names ( ramsay and irina) to the adjectives used in the story. You the reader, are held spell bound to the montage of events. You simply can moved as you are emotional paralysed with a voltage of imagination you simply would submit to understanding their world. Though in a farm setting, you can envisage the sudden dark hue that looms over that farm. This book is definitely for readers who loves imagination. It is also good for improving your writing skill. I love when the author described ramsay distant memories, you can see the inner wars contrasting the real wars fought with his comrades. The author drives home a heavy truth to every man exposing what true wars are, which is choosing over ones egocentric adventures or humbly following with the beauty and monotone of family life. It's also beautiful to note that irina and ramsay lost their battle before time.

It appears that bravery, commitment, adventure, and heroism are all combined in this epic tale. Themes of self-discovery and pursuing one's passion remain relatable despite the fantasy.
