Woldmaker of Yand- Yildun by Andri E Elia is a captivating tale, set up on the planet Yand, orbiting around a star Yildun. The inhabitants of this Yand planet are empathic, and winged humanoids. The protagonist is Yanara, a world-maker with the power to manipulate celestial objects. She is 300 years old and has a complex personal life involving multiple marriages.

Yanara’s planet is threatened by the K’tul, an intergalactic invader. Her powers are crucial for the planet’s defense but have significant risks and consequences. The narrative begins with Yanara receiving a summons to a party, leading to reflections on her past, her powers, and her relationships. The story explores themes of duty, power, and personal sacrifice.

For one of the missions, the team, including Yanara and Mandolen, flies to Snowdrift Pass to investigate a K’tul camp. The team then attacks the K’tul camp, using arrows and swords. They face fierce resistance, including from a K’tul mage. Despite injuries, they managed to defeat the K’tul, but that was not the end, there was more to unfold in the future.

As the story progresses, the story gets immersed into Yanara's World and commences on missions to spy on K'tul ships stranded in orbit around fragments of Yand's shattered moon, Calypso.

Yanara struggles with rage and grief over the brutality they witnessed. They also face the challenge of controlling their powerful abilities to avoid further destruction. Yanara’s interactions with their family members reveal complex relationships and the pressures of leadership during a crisis.

Andri E Elia is a very capable writer and she created this masterpiece, which is very interesting and it is so perfect that does not have a scope for improvement. The story keeps the readers bound to the story, and the author's ability of world-building of the planet, Yand in the story is mind-blowing, and also, offers convoluted details about the diverse species inhabiting, the planet, Yand. Also, the creation of the noble character of Yanara is amazing, who is dedicated to training young mages and fortifying Yand's defenses against potential threats.

I would like to give this book, a 5 out of 5 score, for providing a flawless experience of reading, as there were no grammatical errors or typos found. The book was professionally edited. I would like to recommend this book to everyone, as the book has an amazing plot and makes the readers bound to the story till the end.

Thank you.
