Re: Official Review: Vigilatus by Brenda Heller and Jimmy Adams
Although persistence, consistency, and reliability are virtues, you are quite right especially if meant for what's "fair, true, just, and beneficial to all concerned." It's when we're already veering towards undue disadvantage towards others that we should start rethinking our path. No worries and thank you again for your wise words!kandscreeley wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 07:46I completely agree. We seem to keep doing the same things over and over while expecting different results - the definition of insanity. Thanks for your comment!Espie wrote: ↑08 May 2019, 21:53 With all the bleak realities of the war, one shouldn't help but wonder why it still seems that mankind has not yet fully learned the lessons. I do hope pieces like this could amply convince all of us to prefer the amicable options. Thank you for your thorough review.

This is so important! It's such a necessary part of a sequel, but it's so often dismissed or not done well. This changes the way the reader approaches the story in the first place, creating an atmosphere either of ease and familiarity or confused wariness. Thanks for your review, kandscreeley! I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much!Though this is the second book, the authors do a great job of getting the reader caught up to what's already happened.

Absolutely! It was honestly quite well-done. I am very much looking forward to the next book. Thanks!Lunastella wrote: ↑15 May 2019, 19:23 I usually don't read sci-fi or time-travel books but I'm fascinated by Nazi Germany, especially novels with well-developed characters. It's great that the author provides context for the German words because it can get confusing or tiresome otherwise.

It's great that the authors took the time to catch everyone up. I very much appreciated that. However, I'm not sure this is a very forgettable novel anyway.
