Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by dragonet07 »

Fairytale-esque fantasy is most often a win for me. I wonder if the author drew inspiration from the Hans Christian Andersen tale The Snow Queen like the makers of Frozen did. Hopefully, this will have a slightly more uplifting (or at least less misogynistic) ending than a lot of his tales did if that’s the case. (Loved Frozen, have a more complicated relationship with Andersen.) Based on the raving review and strong premise, I have high hopes. Thank you for the helpful review.

The Plot of this book sounds promising, I am intrigued by the fact that it has strong female characters as pritoganist. Hoping to see a good magical system. Overall the review sounds promising

This does seem like an intricate tale embellished with magic and fantastical worldbuilding. I like how the characters complement each other. Thank you for the detailed review.

This story has a lot of similarities with the famous Disney story, Frozen. Although this one has a twist to it. Nonetheless, it has got an interesting storyline, and the cover page is very colorful and attractive.
Thank you for this beautiful review.
