Congrats on BOTD!
The subject of love and freedom is interesting and appealing to me. The plot will keep readers interested, and I can assume that they will be curious to find out what happens to Malia and her daughter as well as the kingdom of Naataros.

A nice combination of war, action, and adventure can be found in the book "A New War" by Alexander Farah, which follows the fictional kingdom of Naataros that is plagued by instability and political chaos. I want to read this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Although this is not the one for me, it sounds like today's BOTD is going to be a popular choice for fans of fantasy novels, especially those with strong themes about freedom, love, and war. Thanks for your thorough review; it was really helpful! :-)

A soldier holding a sword in his right hand and his left hand holding a shield makes the book's cover attractive, and I also like its title, which both hint at what to expect from the book. This book is my next read. Congratulations on being BOTD!

I'm not a fan of war stories as they feel cumbersome to me. Congratulations on BOTD though. I believe this will be a great read for fans of war stories.

With the humans living together with elves, it reminds me of “Lord of the rings”. Sounds intriguing. I like the relationship of the uncle and nephew. On my list.

As interesting as it sounds, war books do not appeal to me. But, since the book also talked about freedom, love, I think I'll love to read it.
Thanks for your review.

The unpredictable nature of humans & the persistence of the elves in their fight for freedom make A New War a compelling read. Alexander Farah's skilful storytelling takes readers on an epic adventure filled with rich characters & a well-crafted fictional kingdom.
