To further enhance "The Great Migration: Book One of the S'orne Saga," deepening character arcs and expanding the rich world-building details could be beneficial. Elevating the stakes, both personally and on a larger interstellar scale, alongside more vivid descriptions and complex antagonists, could intensify the narrative's engagement. Incorporating side stories or perspectives and clarifying scientific elements could make the universe more accessible and enrich the thematic exploration, making the saga not only more immersive but also thought-provoking.

To enhance “The Great Migration,” by Steve Ramirez, consider adding a glossary or appendix for characters and creatures, a character index for quick reference, maps and illustrations to enrich the setting, a streamlined narrative for easier initial engagement, and more background context early on to set the stage, all of which could make the book more accessible and immersive for readers. This is just my thought.

"The Great Migration: Book One of the S'orne Saga" is already a rich and immersive reading experience. However, to enhance the book further, the author could consider incorporating even deeper exploration of the characters' internal struggles and motivations, providing additional layers of complexity to their development. Additionally, further delving into the socio-political dynamics of the universe and exploring the ramifications of the characters' actions on a larger scale could add depth to the narrative. Finally, incorporating vivid sensory descriptions to fully immerse readers in the fantastical world of the S'orne Saga could enhance the overall reading experience.

To enhance the book, I feel that the characters should all be given a clearer identity that readers can relate to.

I think the characters could have been little distinct. I couldn't memorise the characters so that could also have been done.
Language was a little complex too.

It is always helpful when a book's world building is properly developed without overwhelming the reader and definitely a map will be appreciated!

I felt like the overall plot did not benefit from some side stories, like death of the young prince in the other city, entire part involving Princess Dorinda and the death of the protester during the equinox festival. It felt irrelevant and detached from the rest of the plot.
