There are various themes such as survival, resilience, hope, and the fight against oppression. These themes resonate with most of us.

I liked the adventure in this book most. The book started with a bloody scene that got me so interested. My thoughts at the beginning of the book involved who would survive and who would not. Then after their return, the book lulled with the introduction of a new scene, and picked up pace again with the suspense of the presence of the s'ornes. This book was generally interesting. However, I didn't like how unorganized the scenes were.

The cover is not too appealing but the contents of the book are commendable.
Science fiction lovers will like this book as the world building is quite vivid and transpors you to a different dimension.
I don't know if I should say this but this quote has become my favourite after reading it. Especially since I'm a dog lover and I've always found them cute and joyful. I'm always curious as to what's going through their mind.

Say it. Scream it. Put it on your bio. After all your are unknown. Even if you weren't. I have always loved the way quotes helped me feel closer to the person who wrote them because in that moment we felt the same thing. Anyway, I am a crazy dog lover too.

Overally It was excellent, as I rated it 5 stars out of 5 stars. The author's world-building is remarkable; he develops a colorful and intricate cosmos that piques my interest in S'Orne's rich history and culture. Bellona, King Cortez, Sergeant Cordero, and Laena are well-developed characters who add emotional depth to the story. The struggle for truth and survival makes the story compelling and relatable.

The book was good. However, it starts off with the camp getting hit. While reading I had many questions in my mind. Who attacked the camp?, Where were they? Where are they going? Who are the people at this camp? Attacked by what? I think more flashbacks could have been used in the book. However, most of the questions were answered at the end of the book. The cover was different...not bad. Because of the red and yellow colors, I had guessed tribes were involved. The lesson I learned from this book is leading people is a responsibility. If things go wrong on your watch, you have to receive the consequences. It was still a good read!

There's some exposition but it's included in ways that make it part of the story such as a tutor's lesson to a princess and some other students, so the pace doesn't slow down too much. I'm not a fan of low-tech civilizations and in this novel the initial impression is of a fantasy story.

Fate made an old dispute come to light again. A book with very good descriptions that transport you to that incredible place where the events take place. Our protagonists live great adventures in the midst of so much action. As for the cover, I find it interesting but it doesn't tell me much about the book.

Based on the compelling universe, rich character development, and intricate plotline, I would give "The Great Migration: Book One of the S'orne Saga" a solid rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Ramirez demonstrates a genuine talent for crafting an immersive sci-fi experience, drawing readers into a dynamic cosmos filled with diverse cultures and political dynamics. The protagonist, Keth, and his companions are deeply engaging, and their journey through the galaxy is both thrilling and thought-provoking. While there were moments where pacing could have been tighter, the overall strength of the storytelling and the depth of the themes explored make this book a highly enjoyable read. I eagerly anticipate diving into the next installment of the saga.

“The Great Migration: Book One of the S’orne Saga” by Steve Ramirez offers a captivating narrative with complex characters and an imaginative world. The book blends elements of science fiction and fantasy seamlessly, creating a rich and immersive reading experience. Ramirez’s writing style is engaging, although some readers may find the initial complexity challenging to navigate. The cover and title are intriguing but could provide more insight into the story’s themes. One of the greatest lessons from the book is the moral complexity of leadership decisions.
