Fantasy books like this one usually have a very complex world. I'm sure the same is true for this book. I'm not a fan of the concept of an army of the dead though. I don't think it's something I would read, overall.

This seems like a fantastic action-packed plot that evolves quickly and intriguingly. I'd love to see the following events.

A New War indeed sounds worthy of a 5 out of 5 rating. It is the sort of book I would love to get lost in. It has inspiring themes like love and perseverance. And there's magic too! Great review

This book is definitely very unique. While I don't like fantasy novels, I've never seen one with a twist like this. Congratulations on book of the day!

There are several things to commend about the book, the theme, the fictional war stories, and the comprehensible write-up. The author did a great job. Congratulations on BOTD!

A New War is a captivating science fiction. The author did an excellent job on this one. From the review, I can see that the themes are very essential.

Army of the dead? Now this sounds interesting. What's the kingdom of Naataros like? What would Salal and Ahmid do about the suspected army of the dead? Interesting review.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy is definitely not my cup of tea, but even a glimpse from the review is enough for me to know that I am going to end up knowing about the story way more than I would like. My daughter loves political intrigue in a pseudo-historical setting and will talk my ear off sharing her impressions and thoughts))

This storyline seems interesting though I am usually not a fan of war stories. I will check out the book to see if it is something that would intrigue me.

The plot of this book sounds complex and intriguing. Will the Scandosians gain their freedom? To get the answer to this I'll have to read the book. But I think no one is meant to be a slave. Good review.

This review watered my appetite to read this book. I will read "A New War" by Alexander Farah to know if Fares will agree to fight for the King again. Thanks for the review.

There seems to be a lot of stuff happening in this book. Just from your review, there are so many names and places. I assume the kingdom of Naataros is where everything is taking place. I want to find out more and find out if the Scandalosians will get what they want. Great review!

This book seems very intriguing. I am a fan of old war stories where they used swords, arrows, and horses. The elves living among humans is another fascinating aspect; the author seems to have loaded the novel with mystical creatures. Thanks for this excellent review!

Wow, this book sounds well-written. I like the sound of the author clipping me, the reader, on my shoulder and taking me places I have never been. I also like that the story was written in simple English. Nice review.
