This is an interesting and informative review. Sampling the first few pages, I personally found it difficult to make sense of the dialogue between Stardust and Yanara. I also struggled with the endnotes explaining some of the terms. But for a more patient fan of fantasy, I think this book would be fun read as it was for the reviewer.

The underlying plot of this book is pretty unique. Unfortunately I am not into polygamy and fantasy/mythological novels do not interest me. Congratulations on book of the day!

It is the third book in the series, and I found the plot too complicated. It may be because I have not read the earlier books and only sampled one of them. One thing I appreciate is the author's creative mind to have written this book. Readers who enjoy sci-fi fantasy might enjoy this book, but it is not for me. Congrats on the BOTD, though!

As this is the third part in the series, I'll probably be lost on the plot with Yanara and her spouses. I'll pass on this book.

A magical science-fiction fantasy book "Worldmaker of Yand - Eltanin" by Andri E. Elia, which follows Yanara, whose mother was Stardust, a well-known queen. This book looks entertaining to me.

I don't like past and present storytelling but I guess it doesn't matter because I don't read books in a series out of order. Great review.

I have been wanting to pick up this series for a while now, every time it is featured as BOTD I am reminded. I am so glad to hear that this book would work as a stand-alone, but I will definitely be reading all of them!

I love the cover of this book. It's beautiful! This series is one that I feel for sure needs to be read from book 1 onward. This is book 3. I think i'll really enjoy this series. Wonderful review.

Congrats on BOTD!
It is simply amazing how the author creates vivid situations and gives them life. Beyond all expectations, the book's world-building and rich descriptions are simply extraordinary. The names utilized in the book, though, present one potential issue I notice.

I know much about Kingmaker, but never heard anything regarding Worldmaker. Only the God himself, but that would be blasphemous to take the Lord's name in vain. I am not sure I will enjoy such storyline, but alien invaders are interesting to me, so I thankfully accept the gift and congratulate the author on BOTD!

Another book in the Worldmaker series is "Worldmaker of Yand-Eltanin" by Andri E. Elia. Nice book, as the protagonist, Yanara, is faced with another quest that she must embark on with her children. The review is simple and captivating.

This is an engaging, clear sci-fi novel (book three) that follows a suspenseful storyline about a mysterious character. It is set in a different planet/world but the author does a remarkable job at describing this new world as the backdrop in vivid way. I'm interested in finding out the end of this novel. Congrats to the BOTD!
