I am intrigued by the ideas of "worldmakers". I like that the lead is a strong female character who needs to learn how to use her extraordinary powers. I also feel that pictures are a nice addition. Congratulations on the review!

I love fantasies, and I'd love to follow Yanara's adventures. I'll check this book out.

The plot of this book is excellent and different from all other books I have read, it sounds realistic. And I must commend you for a job well done. Your review is excellent.

Who or what is Yand? I thought that Yand was a "planet" or similar, but I do not understand what their standards mean something about Yanara's age. Either way, the book seems interesting and I love fantasies.

I like fantasy novels; they are my favourites. The number of details put into constructing this magical world is amazing. I'd love to give this book a try. It sounds interesting. Your description and summary of the book are amazing. You did an outstanding job. Excellent review!  :tiphat:

I read the sample and wow - this definitely feels like an interesting sci fi fantasy. And yet the characters still drink coffee for breakfast! That made me chuckle. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

This reads very well as an intricate story of other planets and fantasy worlds. I like how the characters are introduced and how they relate to one another. They have wings, can teleport, can set their swords on fire, could do the same to daggers, but don’t have any at the moment we meet them . . .
This appears to be the first in a series of books and is the second edition therefore, *Yildun* by Andri E Elia, seems to be quite popular and I think it is going to be an enjoyable read!

I've sampled a couple of chapters, and I've taken to Yanara and her team as they were rescuing a family of foxes. I hope Frost will rescue the kit's parents too. I agree with the reviewer that this is a fascinating story. But I do not feel that it has more preparation than action - for me it all feels perfectly well-balanced.

Yanara's story somehow reminds me of "Avatar.'

Thank you for the great review.

This sci-fi has a strong female character at its core. Yanara is the worldmaker, which is a pretty cool character. However, the plot doesn't interest me that much. Congrats on BOTD though!

Fantasy books can sometimes be overwhelming. Judging from this amazing review, I think the book will be a worthy read. The plot is thrilling, and I would love to see how a woman births a winged baby.

This sounds like a very interesting fantasy concept! Manipulation of worlds and planets reaches beyond the typical fantasy book that I read, so I would definitely like to try this one. Great review as well!

"Yildun" by Andri E Elia seems to be a book with an interesting story. I will this book to know if Yanara succeeded in moving the Yand's fourth back to its position.

With a beautifully crafted plot that will capture the reader's imagination, this fantasy book is packed with action, adventure, and suspense. It should appeal to those who like science-fiction and fantasy novels. Well-written review.
