"In the Heart of the Linden Wood" by Ekta R. Garg is a moving story of love and redemption. It tells the tale of King Christopher of Linden, who is on the brink of a great disaster and must muster the courage to face his fears and heal his kingdom from within. Along the way, he gains unexpected travel companions who must face their own challenges.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed reading "In the Heart of the Linden Wood." It takes readers on a journey that explores different facets of human relationships. The book probes the themes of love and loss, friendship, and trust. Throughout the book, Garg uses emotive language to draw the reader in. There is also good use of literary devices, like imagery, to draw the reader into the story. For example, the sentence "The ripples changed shades to the color of corn silk" creates a clear image in the reader's mind.
 
Garg has created complex characters who have various struggles that they must overcome. The writing is expressive and powerful, bringing life to each character's dilemma. I appreciated that each character had independent thoughts and opinions. They were not mere followers of the king's journey. Rather, they both challenged and supported his decisions, creating a dynamic and moving story.
 
Throughout the book, the author has included changes in perspective that create diversity in the story. However, these changes in perspective often happen suddenly in the middle of a chapter. This can confuse the reader and disrupt the reading experience.
 
Overall, this was a well-written and heartwarming book. I did not notice any errors in the book, which speaks to professional editing. While the changes in perspective within the narrative could be confusing, they did not impede my reading experience. Hence, I would rate this book five out of five.
