My sister is in Hawaii right now, so she might be interested in reading this book! Very intriguing!

I'm slowly coming to like fantasy books, and this one does sound interesting with the characters going on a quest. I don't like reading books where I constantly have to check the glossary for the terms used, so this one might not be my style. Thanks for the informative review.

I am not a big fan of sci-fi books but I like the plot and storyline of this book. The two main characters in the book are on a quest to unite all of the islands in the Ocean World. Read the book to find out whether Boy and Sistah succeed in their quest?

Sounds like a colorful story. The names are a bit too simple for my taste but that's my personal objection of course. Great review.

I don't know much about Hawaiian mythology. The complex names and the genre don't appeal to me. Having to look up words or phrases constantly while reading sounds exhausting. Great job with the review.

Sci-fi is not my favourite genre. This might be too confusing for me so I’m skipping this book. Thanks for your review!

I'm not comfortable with the culture on the island where the natives marry their brothers or sister. This union goes against my beliefs. I find it dreadful and as such, I'll pass on this book. Your review is well-written by the way.

What an interesting plot and concept. I think the cloud-city is very intriguing. While I know nothing about Hawaiian culture, I think the complexity the author produced is great.

It seems like the Sistah and Boy are up to a magical journey as they join forces with the tall ones to unite cloud city they got into and for all to have better lives. I’m looking forward to digging this novel to know about the two main characters and the Kane brothers.

Looks like an interesting sci-fi book. At first I thought it was a children’s book but when I realised it’s for everyone, I picked more interest in it. Nice book.

Such an excellent and thorough review. The plot and storyline seem interesting but I'm not into sci-fi books so I'm skipping this. Congratulations on BOTD.

The book has quite an interesting storyline. The inclusion of the summary of the first book and a glossary encourages first time readers like me to pick up this book. Beautiful review.

Although looking up for Hawaiian words at the end of the book is very distracting, I find it thoughtful for the author to put such for all thebreaders to not be left behind. I also haven't read about their mythology before and the cloud-city urges my curiosity to read this. Thank you for your review. I will look forward in reading this.
