It could be so relatable. Though I am not a basketball fan, but this book seems to be written in an interesting manner. Lastly, thanks for the review!
Thanks for stopping by. I agree with you that the book is relatable.

I like that the book doesn't solely depend on the previous books of the series making it easy for one to understand. Thanks for the interesting review.

Right? I didn't even realize at first that it was part of a series. Thank you for your comment.

I read book three of this series, House of Eire, and it was very entertaining also. I was wondering when the next installment would be released. With all of its prophetic accuracy, this one seems like it was made for 2020! It also appears that the author is very concerned about social issues.

Thank you for your well-written review.

Yes, I agree that the author is concerned with social issues; however, the book was written recently, so the author's prophetic ability is questionable. Thanks for stopping by.

I loved the two quotes you included from the book! I am curious to learn how the author incorporated Gianna into this series. Great review!
