Looking out the meaning of Hawaiian words can also be a distraction for me. I much prefer laying out meaning every time the word appears. Thanks for the well-written review.

The opportunity to learn the Hawaiian language is enough credit for the author. This book will be good for people that like mythology.

Fantasy books are not exactly my cup of tea, but this sounds great! I think that it’s really thoughtful that the author has included the summary of the first series at the beginning of this one. This will further help readers with understanding the general story. Congratulations on BOTD!

The plot of this book is interesting. I also love how it educates readers about Hawaiian language and its cosmology. The idea of unification of separate entities for the betterment of their fate is a beautiful one to explore. I also like that the pillars of social mores were not eroded despite this been a fantasy fiction set in unlikely worlds. It may represent our own imaginations of norm from our earthly experience but those are possible elsewhere too. Mali'o and Lohelohes are the helpful companions we all hope luck helps us find in our endeavours and darkest times.

You have done an impressive review. I totally love it.

Boy and Sistah must have been through a lot in their quest to unite the Ocean World. There's plenty of adventure and fantasy to get and keep the interest of young readers. Kudos to the author.

The book is quite interesting, most especially the themes of the book; unity and campaign against illegal immigration. The cover of the book is also exciting. Congratulations to the author on being the #BOTD!

Congrats to the botd. I really don't like this kind of storyline, though the author did a great job to explain the Hawaiian language he used and a summary of the first series. Nice review.

This book seems to incorporate an interesting storyline along with good world-building. However, I believe I should try the first book before coming to this. Thanks for the review!

While this looks like a creative storyline, it is definitely not the type of book I enjoy reading. Turns for the informative review through. I am sure sci-fu fans will enjoy this book.

This fast-paced fantasy science fiction novel sounds fantastic and alluring. Although this has the complexity of words and the use of sentences in Hawaiian as conveyed through the review it won't be a problem for me to give it a try. Thanks for your review.
