This sounds like it could be an interesting sci-i story. Though, I am not sure that I am a suited reader for it. The cover of it looks really interesting. Yet, none of the descriptions about the book has jumped at me to make me want to pick it up and read.

A novel addressing displacement, terrorism, war, ethnic cleansing, political suffering, and other issues is covering serious, realistic themes. Sci-fi is not a genre I usually read, but I think I will have to try this one. Thanks for the compelling review!

Sounds like a very interesting read. Even though it may appear to be a bit difficult to keep up with the names of places and characters without getting a bit confused. I would like to give this book a chance and add it to my reading list. It’s understandable that these type of stories leave unexplored areas, there’s a lot of information to take care of in the building of the story.

Thank you for this review!

Thank you for sharing this excellent review. I agree with you that the first chapter is overwhelming and hard to follow. You have however conjured up my interest with talks of beastly pathogens and gender changing mutations...

Science fiction is an imaginative genre that does a lot of world building. I think that I could really enjoy this.

I agree with what the reviewer said about science fiction:
"They say science fiction holds a mirror to reality, a reflection embellished by scientific and technological elements perhaps but a reflection nonetheless."
That justified why I enjoy reading science fiction books. This book sounds intense to me with the world building and full-fleshed out characters. I will definitely add this to my tbr but I need the right mood to read it.

The trading negotiations between Nasin and Mak Eta reveal many social, political, religious, and economic conditions in their two nations, Tabira and Lir. The sci-fi plot acquires satirical tones reminiscent of the drawbacks in our own society. Thanks for your review!

Stories about apocalyptic sounds interesting but unfortunately I've not witnessed one before. An average reader may encounter difficulty reading this review. Seems the words and sentences are not simple. Good review though.

Five nation coexisting on a plane of existence sounds intriguing. Having a good plot and distinct characters makes it more inviting. It has an engaging premise and important themes. I'll definitely check this one out. Thanks for the review.

I think I like the book for promoting international cooperation and understanding among the various nations mentioned in the novel. The excellent word-building is also something worth looking forward to. Thanks for the wonderful review.

After going through the review it looks like this is an exciting sci-fi novel where the author has built a different world altogether which is utopian and religion is banned in it. This should definitely attract a lot of readers of sci-fi books.

The book sounds intriguing. But I am not interested in a plot with bizarre characters. So I will pass it on. Great review.
