Re: Official Review: Rulers of the Galaxy by Tayma Tameem

Post by mrlefty0706 »

Rulers of the Galaxy is a science fiction novel with a plot bordering on intergalactic warfare between planets. One of the main characters, Salarin, wakes up in the middle of a battle with amnesia. Not able to remember who she is or her mission there, she tries to find safety. Meanwhile, the high minister of the Imperials is determined to take over Elemental's land. Things are in his favor, but a turn in events might throw a spanner in his well-built plans. Will he succeed? Will Salarin find herself? Find out by reading Rulers of the Galaxy.

Rulers of the Galaxy was an exciting book with surprises and twists. Tayma Tameem sure went all out in putting the element of surprise in this book. Bosco, who I believed to be just a raider, wasn't who I thought he was. At the time of writing this review, I was still in awe, trying to come to terms with all the twists and turns.

A wonderful book about intergalactic warfare between planets. Rulers of the Galaxy was an exciting book with twists and surprises. Excellent official review. Reminds me of Star Wars.

I am a fan of sci-fi but I do not like when the book starts slow. I do like that it has a lot of twists and turns.

It must have been a tough one for salarin to wake up with amnesia in the middle of a battle. I hope she was able to pull through. Congrats on being the book of the day.

Growing up, i have always been a huge fan of science fiction. I enjoyed letting my imagination run wild into worlds beyond our own. This book, to me, is a reminder of the simpler times. Times when i would sit for hours on end in front of the TV screen in admiration of the creativity and remarkable works of art. I will definitely enjoy reading this book. Thank you for sharing.

Generally, I am not a fan of science fiction books and to be honest, this book did not really grab my attention after the first few pages I read. However, I have read the review done by one of the online book club reviewers and have added it to my list of books to read as I have possibly misjudged it.

I love science fiction and am intrigued with the idea of Salarin waking up in the middle of a battle without knowing who she is or what her mission is. However, if the book’s first few chapters aren’t gripping—in this case, because the story lines just aren’t coming together—-for the reader, I’m not sure if it’s for me. Still, thank you for the helpful review.

Sounds like a protagonist novel. Salarin would be an interesting character to read.

I can understand that you weren't able to relate with certain characters. However, in some books it takes time to be able to link characters and really understand what they represent. That's when reading in details comes in. Congratulations on the book of the day.

I like the honest review. Salarin sounds like an interesting character to follow. The story of the new born prince in whose hands lay the fate of his planet and is being sort after by galaxias enemies sounds quite familiar. Interested to know how the story ends.
