The idea might be interesting but I think mixing all these fictional creatures and historical events is over the top and too overwhelming however the author seems to have it under control. Good job. The review is also well done

There is more to the story especially with the title of the novel. However I want to arrive at the same understanding point with the author so l would love to continue reading though the introduction of the books is intriguing. Great review.

The Temple Of Truth and Lies by James Duvall is a historical fiction book that talks about magic and mystic creatures. This would be a good book to read for those who love historical fiction.

I appreciate the BOTD!
They appear to have taken an exciting route to Pangorn Island. It will be intriguing to see whether they are able to defeat the strange monsters they came across and find the required object. fantastic and unique character names.

This book was beyond captivating and seized my interest. It was history and a fairy tale with the most modern unique storyline twist. Storytelling is key to keeping the readers engaged, and the first few chapters accomplish that. I can't wait to read on and see how the book finishes. Like the book, your review was captivating.

To be honest, I have not read many historical-fiction books nor am I a fan of them. But the review you have given is so amazing. I'm really impressed. I feel like your review totally justified how much you enjoyed reading this book and why you think we should give it a try. How do write reviews like this?? I'm genuinely curious because it pretty much covers everything we need to know before we decide to read a particular book. The narration of different scenarios, the attention to smallest of details, etc...wonderful! I'm not a historical- fiction reader. History as a subject has always been intresting but also boring at the same time for me. But this review convinced me to give this book a try. Thanks for this splendid review! I really appreciate your words. And as for the book, adding it to my tbr shelf right away!

This is a fantastic action-adventure story that the author has written. Without a doubt, the magic and scary creatures would heighten the fascination.

Thank you for your thorough review! I haven't experienced many novels who transition between first person and third person perspectives in such a drastic manner, I am excited to see how this broadens my understanding of the world Duvall has crafted.
