I like historical fictions. I am curious at how the author made the connection between those stories and Venus. The length of the book though....

This looks like a good book for people who enjoy historical fiction. Seeing that the author was able to incorporate real life events into the way he wrote the book, is fascinating.

This book is relevant to readers that love historical texts set in utopia, which is ideal for adventure. Thank you for your thorough review.

This is really one of the oldest historical book in human life. Speaking of the past, the present and the future. Very unique of it's own, thank you for the review

This seemed like a book that is all over the place. It is too long. But you gave great points in its favor so I'm sure another reader might enjoy it. But I will pass on it.

I am not a fan of most historical fiction books. This anthology circulates around a mythological goddess and the planet Venus. I don't think this book is for me.

I don't think I will be reading this book. This is really not the type of story I would be interested in. Although the story is accurate in why satan was banned from God's presence it is really not my taste.

This was a surprisingly interesting reading. I also liked the fact that each chapter tells a different story. It was a good surprise. And the fact that they all have something that links them together sounds great. I think it makes the reading more captivating and the curiosity high.
Great review!

Definitely adding this one to my reading list. Mythology's always been so interesting to me and the extent of its influence across time often goes under appreciated.

Reading about unique characters is very interesting. I have not really known much about venue, so this book might be a good place to start. I will be picking up this book soon. Great review

I find it interesting this collection of related stories that have to do with the planet Venus and the goddess Venus. Also, it seems like an opportunity to learn about history, particularly the French Revolution.

I can see from the review that this book is a fusion of several stories with interesting characters. I want to learn more about it, but I'm not a huge fan of history or reading such lengthy volumes right now.

It’s sounds like an intriguing history book. I wish I was big on books like this, I would have read it. I like the idea of goddess Venus though.

I’ve not seen many books formatted in this manner than explore one concept throughout human history. It sounds intriguing and I hope to learn something about Venus’ influence! Congrats on BOTD!
