Books about reincarnation are not usually my cup of tea. They leave me a bit confused and they contradict with my personal beliefs.

Reincarnation has always intrigued me. So a story about past lives sounds really good. Elise sounds like an interesting, three-dimensional character.

Sounds interesting. What fun to travel around the whole world in the imagination. I'm sceptical about psychics although I love psychoanalysis. Only by reading the book I will know what the author is up to.

This book sounds very intriguing. I may take a look at it. I like that the author made the character someone you can both like and dislike because that’s so much more real to me.

:techie-studyingbrown:
What I love about reading well adjusted reviews is the feeling of wanting to know more; reviews should only scratch the surface and get you interested, not deprive the potential readers of self-discorvery. Keeping that in mind, you did a superb job of accomplishing it. 👌

A full picture is filled with a mix bag of good and bad. I did prefer reading about the minor critique and personal opinion, this helped me prepare for what I'm about to delve in. Ranging from our protagonist _ who has a flare of personality not a stereotype _ to the wider picture of world building.

Yet I do wish you had talked more about the world building, and superficially elaborated on it. Perhaps it's just my own preference, as romance isn't my cup of tea and the review seems to focus a lot on it. A little more about the world and the psychological aspect would have increased my interest.

Above all, an incredible review! I love the clarity and flow of words

Psychological thrillers always offer something new for entertainment, and this story has ingredients like psychic powers that enter the mind of another person. Thanks for a great review.

Your inclusion of certain descriptive terms such as “previous lives”, “psychological thrill”, “psychic powers” and “travel literature” have somehow combined some of my favorite topics of reading in one book. I cannot wait to read! Heading to the top of my reading list for sure. Thanks for the thorough and intriguing review!

It sounds interesting for Elise to travel to different countries and experience different cultures, customs, and traditions. I am guessing she does all the traveling in her different lives in different times.

This seems to be an interesting book which helps people to understand the true nature of others by diving into the depths of the human mind and psyche. Besides it give a great opportunity to travel together with the protagonist to Afghanistan, China, the Tibet, Paris, and Egypt and learn more through the vivid description of the diverse geography, the countries, the cultures, and the traditions. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
