Wow, from the review, this book seems to be a compilation of great stories. I was intrigued by the information given about Venus being a planet. Each story uniquely has interesting qualities, and I will like to read the book. Congrats on BOTD.

'Official Review: Star Bright' by A. F. Carcirieri, Jr. is an in-depth glimpse into the historical fiction story for readers. It provides the readers with important information related to the author. The point that the story highlights the influence that planet Venus has over mankind is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that each chapter is a fresh story with a conflict, climax, and resolution, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the readers learn a lot about history through the book and the book is a beautiful adventure through time!

I think it's nice how the author managed to make each story independent yet somehow connected to each other. I don't think this is for me, but I appreciated your review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

It appears that this work combines historical fiction with science fiction. Another thing that stands out to me is the author's inventiveness in developing lively characters and a new narrative in each chapter.

The concept the author chose to tell her story is interesting. Connecting different stories by a common factor allows for coherence and, in my opinion, is an attention grabber.

The different characters in each chapter part is what interested me in trying to reading this book. The length of the book, however, will be quite a challenge. Thanks for the informative review!

I like historical fiction novels when they are written right. Another thing I love is the planet Venus. I love studying about her beauty and learning the history of why she is called Venus. I guess I never really liked compilation of stories, but I would love to give this one a try.

Thank you so much for the review!

Well, I would say that is a very unusual format for a novel. I don't think I have every read one that was set up in such a way. I'm not sure that I would like it. Thank your review.

I adore historical fiction because they enable me to enjoy myself while finding out new facts. I’m interested in changes in Venus during the different time periods.

I commend you for finishing the long novel. It is a unique and interesting idea to place the planet Venus at the center of every story. I enjoy reading historical fiction, but I will have to pass on this book. Congrats on BOTD.
