This is such an attentive and descriptive review! I enjoyed the fact that you mentioned your own reactions to the book while you were reading it. I love reading books that can evoke strong emotions. That just means the author did an exceptional job! Upon reading your review, I might have to give this series a try. Well done!

The Worldmaker of Yand is a fantastic series filled with magic and wonder, with "Eltanin" being the thrilling third installment. The reader is held captive by its convoluted plot, which involves Yanara's mother, Stardust  harboring second thoughts about her long-lost lover Yileen and Yanara discovering a beautiful stranger who looks like her husband Frost. Thanks for your review.

I admire the author's effort to create an independent story from the previously written series. Yanara made efforts to find the missing stranger and her identity. I am curious to know how successful her mission was. Congrats on BOTD.

I appreciate the detailed evaluation. Due to its complexity, science fiction generally gives me trouble, but after reading this insightful evaluation, it seems that this is different. I anticipate reading it since I can already tell that the plot is intriguing and compelling.

I appreciate how thorough this review is. I can tell from the review how magically rich the book is since I have a hard time picturing how someone could be imprisoned for three hundred years, and the magical element of the novel seems to be what I am most interested in. The author deserves praise for a fantastic plot as well as an attractive book cover.

I commend you for acknowledging the author's effort in providing context for events that occurred in previous books, as this can present a significant challenge for readers who are not familiar with the series.

I am obsessed with sci-fi genre so it wasn’t a surprise that I finished & binged this book in one sitting. Dreams about dragons and superstitions 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The author brought magic to life with its characters. Yanara is my favorite. This is the first book I’m reading in the series but I got a hold of what’s happening because it was so fluid and easy to grasp!

I enjoyed the book and I would love to hear and see more of Frost’s daughter. She’s fast becoming a second favorite.

Even if this third installment (in a series) can be read as stand alone, I'd rather read the first book first. Fans of mystery, science fiction, and fantasy will enjoy reading this book. The illustrations add to the charm of the setting of the story, and I like the detailed description of the characters' personality and background. Congratulations on the BOTD.
