Sci-fi nooks have a way of keeping you at bay on what to expect. A fine blend of historical fiction and Sci-fi. Congratulations on BOTD!

It can be difficult to create completely unfamiliar storylines, characters and locations for sci-fi novels these days. Not that it can't be done, but sometimes what you've read enters your writing without you realizing it. The same is true of other fiction genres. But it can be done, and I agree that it can be disappointing to recognize these similarities. Thank you for a great review!

This book seems to present the adventures of a brave heroine. However, I think this story isn't my cup of tea; the fact that without the first part it is a bit complicated to understand the plot, so this time I'll pass Despite this, I hope fans of this genre and this series in particular will enjoy this book.

Latest Review: Sophistries of Summer Days by Jenny Lofters

Post by John Arun Kumar »

This is a fantasy novel. The protagonist Lilla, the last Lumerian and Sybil to Arch-goddess goes on an impossible task of for the Teryn goddess in order to save her people. Interesting story line! Reminds me of the queen Esther of the Bible who risks her life to save her people. A well written book and a good book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I'm not much of a sci-fi fanatic, but this storyline is giving me hope that this book will be different from my perspective of what a sci-fi novel is. Thank you for this well-written review of this book.

Adventurous book. Has its own unique setup. Lilla played her role as a heroine in this series. Though it's not a line of story I enjoy to spend quality time reading. Thumbs up to the BOTD. Nice review.

This review is quite well written. I enjoy reading about gods and their mysteries, but when romance is thrown into the mix, I'm lost. This is a concept that will never become cliché. once more, excellent review

I think I will pass on reading this since it's the second book in the series. However, the storyline is interesting

Thank you for the great review. It sounds like a book that anyone that enjoys sci-fi/fantasy books will look forward to reading this one. As I don't enjoy that genre, I will pass on this series.

A fantasy book filled with so many adventures, this is both interesting and captivating. The cover of the book itself shows the strength of Lilla portrayed in it.

Although I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews about this book, I'm not a fan of fantasy novels. Hence, a little skeptical but will definitely read the sample to see the fantasy world that has been beautifully built as per the reviewers. Thanks for a such a detailed review.
