Official Review: The Prodigy Slave, Book One: Journey to ...

[Aan Granados]

I like reading historical romance and it will be refreshing to read about inter racial romance in that era. Thanks for your review.

I really love historical romances, so I'm giving this a try. I'm hoping for the best. Thank you for the review.

This book sounds really fun and interesting. And, even though I do not read a lot of romance books. This is a historical and romantic book, and that piques my interest. Thank you for the review!

Sounds like a breathtaking romance story. I would like to know the kind of punishment that both Lilly and James are awaiting. And how will James' punishment alter Lilly's? I already have the book on my want to read shelf. I will read it. Congratulations on the BOTD.

The story of love, freedom and fate of a slave girl. I would love to know what becomes of Lily. Great review.

[Lucille27]

This sounds as an interesting proposal, although, it does not look like something I usually read. The romance seems to be a bit common place, so I am afraid of the portrayal of social differences here beyond just a mere -love conquers it all-. Anyway, your review was very clear. Thanks for it.

Lily seems true to be a lovely character with a dark story and a great gift. I don't know if this book is for me since I'm not into romances in historical fiction books. However, it seems to be a good choice for those readers who enjoy romance. It reminds me of a Brazilian soap opera I watched a long time ago. Thanks for the insightful review!

An interesting character in the form of a slave and her adventurous journey sounds quite intriguing.

A love story of a slave. This sounds so unique. This is also emotionally testing. I found the plot extremely interesting and entertaining. The act of the child taken away from the mother is a harsh situation, even by reading this review, I can feel that. I wonder what would have happened if I read this entire book. Thanks for the review!

Romance novels aren't completely my thing, though I did have a V.C. Andrews phase in my teens so at least this wouldn't be entirely outside my comfort zone. The switching accents could have been a neat little metaphor representing James and Lily growing even closer and rubbing off on the other, though judging from the mention of other characters swapping accents it's more likely a small error (assuming there isn't a running theme or logic to the switches).

This is an emotional drama about Lily, a beautiful slave, and her dream of freedom and love. It is interesting that she is a talented pianist. Congratulations to the author for writing this wonderful story chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

Thanks for the detailed review. I really appreciate your comments about dialogue inconsistencies; that kind of thing drives me crazy so I'm glad for the warning. I wonder if there are biases of white privilege evident in the writing? I also like how you described the plot without giving away key details. This encourages me to read the book even though I'm not big on romance.

I love a good romance novel, so the The Prodigy Slave sounds right up my alley. The characters sound relatable and well fleshed-out, and I can't wait to meet them. Thank you so much for your well-written and insightful review! Happy reading

[Verna Coy]

This book sounds like a great read for fans of drama and good character development. It’s a plus it had no errors, although the accent-switching might be hard to put up with. Thanks for a great review!

Sounds like a great read, but I guess 15 year old me better keep away from this for a while.
