Congrats on BOTD. However, I don't think I like Yanara's polygamic marriages, not to mention she is biased toward one of them.

I love and highly appreciate the portrayal of strong family bonds and the balance between family and leadership exhibited by Yanara in this well-written fantasy novel.

I understand your discomfort with the polygamous relationship depicted in the book. Overall, your review has piqued my interest, and I look forward to reading this sci-fi/fantasy novel.

It is difficult in today's world to maintain a balance between family and work with kindness and compassion. Maybe this book can provide some ideas on how to do this better. Thank you for your review.

Your review was well written. Initially the story was a little confusing, as there was no introduction to the characters or the background. However, it got a bit interesting when Mandolen was helping Yanara and Frost recover from their injuries. I liked the creativity and imagination of the author in writing this book. Congrats on the BOTD!

Yanara's character is attractive as she is portrayed as a strong and powerful female being who can play many roles such as mother, spouse, heroine, leader, etc. I like narratives with a reader-friendly tone and a touch of humor. Sounds interesting.

Very informative book review. This book is very intriguing, and I am amazed by the artistic ideology of this book and how all the characters have a role that the others can't play.

Sci-fi/fantasy isn't my preferred genre, so I'll give this a miss, I'm glad the author has introduced polygamy into the book as it's not something that features in many books like this.

I found your review very interesting and engaging. It does not sound like a book I would read though. Sci-fi is generally not my favourite especially galactic ones. I will read a few pages anyway to check for myself.

Latest Review: Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible

Post by Bettny Andrade »

Intriguing and captivating are two perfect terms, more than enough to arouse my curiosity. I love fiction, and fantasy, so this book is right for me, I really like it when they highlight the value of family ties regardless of the way they express it, as long as it is consensual, and with respect.

Thank you very much for your review, it is excellent.

The storyline of this novel is extremely fascinating. As a fan of fantasy novels, this book is my cup of tea. The characters seem to be well developed. I'm not a supporter of polygamy, so I don't know how this will affect my enjoyment of the book. Thanks for the amazingly detailed review!

I don't like poly stories. And I think this is the second book in a series so I don't like to read books in a series out of order. Anyway, I will skip this one. I like a strong heroine who balances work and private life well. Great review.
