Dave’s various paranormal occurrences, Anna and Professor Hamilton in-depth knowledge of parapsychology make this book of great interest to me. I would also enjoy reading how Dennis W. Rhoades develops the various themes in the book.

I'm a big fan of fantasy and I'm very intrigued with the story, however from the review it can be said that this book has some negative aspects. I feel like the errors along with the needed improvement for the character development and build up might stop me from reading this book. However the premise of the story seems to be pretty exciting. Congrats on BOTD!

The review's depiction of Dave's role in the book made me conclude the book deserves a try. It will be so interesting to see how the author brings out all of Dave's paranormalities. Congratulations to the BOTD author!

Thank you for giving an honest review of "Sentinel of The Light." Not everyone can write a flawless book the first time, and this book needs improvement. You told your audience what you disliked about the book and why you took away two stars. That was your honest opinion. Reading only the sample, I could not tell the flaws or the accolades of the book.

The narrative takes off with a bang and gains momentum from there. Both the side characters and the magic system stood out due to their distinct qualities. The main character was excellent. Strong emotions are enjoyable to me, especially when there is steady advancement. Looking forward to the next book! Congrats on BOTD.

Thanks for the review. "Sentinel of the Light" by Dennis W.Rhoades revolves around Dave who is affected by unsusal paranormal activity. Dave doesn't believe in this, but his friend Charles is confirmed. The plot is interesting from start to end , showing how true friendship saves one live.

Interesting to stumble upon this review for 'Sentinel of the Light: Awakening.' Seems like a mixed bag of positives and negatives. The initial hook and exploration of friendship and paranormal themes sound intriguing. But there are concerns about predictable elements, unresolved subplots, and issues with character depth. The reviewer's rating of three stars, while acknowledging potential, points to room for improvement. Might give it a try for the themes, but the caution about pacing and character development is something to consider before diving in.

Dave's paranormal journey and the intricate relationships in Sentinel of the Light: Awakening, intrigues me. The blend of friendship, deceit, and the paranormal creates an enticing plot.

The book does start off with a fascinating set of events, with Dave having recently recovered from pneumonia, starts experiencing paranormal events. From the sample, the use of magic also looks interesting. Thank you for the insightful review.

CHARLES seems to be a good friend from showing efforts with Anna to get help and solution for Dave. I would love to understand what parapsychology is and how this helps.

Regarding the selective character development and unresolved subplots, it's worth considering that this might be intentional, especially if it's the first book in a sequel. Further development of Dave's character and resolution of subplots may be in the cards for the upcoming sequels.

Your review was excellent and spot-on. For instance, as I aimed to generate interest in the sample pages, your insights clarified why a 3/5 rating was given. Your review has prompted me to reassess my perspective on the book. While I will maintain my honesty, I genuinely agree with the points you raised.
I value the learning process through feedback. If you have a moment, I'd be grateful for any thoughts on my work to help me enhance my skills. :tiphat:

I always enjoy paranormal, magic and fantasy genres. I was captured from the word go while reading the sample, it sounded so interesting. I'm curious to see what Dave's unique abilities are and how he got them. Thanks for the review.
