Thank you for the re-review, well phrased with a simple choice of words. The plot of the story is amazing, being a sci fi based story yet it seems much more than just the genre! There is a clear insight of the author's genius! As the story manages to traverse many facets including a version of the world where distinct beings with discreet powers are living; and endure a war to survive for their families and their faith in their world! It's quite intriguing that even the bearer of majestic powers which cast him as the creator of a world is shown to endure a tragic and painful ordeal! I have it added to my bucket list!!

I enjoyed reading this re-review of Worldmaker of Yand-Polaris by Andri E. Elia. The author seems to have done an excellent job of portraying the characters and their personalities, making them feel real to the reader. I also appreciate the fact that the book has been well-edited and corrected of any errors. Overall, it sounds like a fascinating and captivating read that would appeal to fans of sci-fi and fantasy novels.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

I don't fancy the idea of Yanara having two spouses of different gender, and treating them unequally. The plot does sound fascinating but I'll pass on this one. Congrats on BOTD!!

I agree with the reviewer that the concept of family in this book is portrayed beautifully. Yanara's strong family bonds with her spouses, children, and people show her ability to balance leadership and family responsibilities while remaining compassionate. However, the reviewer's discomfort with Yanara having two spouses is understandable, as it might be difficult for some readers to relate to or accept. Nonetheless, I appreciate that the author explored this unique relationship dynamic.

I guess having two spouses is a perk of being a leader. The plot of the story is highly fictional, but the narration still makes it realistic. Yanara bending the sun to save her people is not something we will live to see, haha. Great review, by the way.

The concept of having a male and a female spouse is what I find most interesting in this review.

Looks like this is a novel about supernatural person called Yanara and her children. The plot doesn't sound appealing but still going to read it.

The first-person point of view used in this book seems to have worked well in giving the reader a closer connection to Yanara, the main character. The vivid descriptions of the characters and their pets, along with the illustrations provided, were helpful in bringing the story to life. I can imagine how the engaging narrative style and subtle humor could keep the reader glued to the book until the very end.

"Worldmaker of Yand - Polaris" by Andri E. Elia is a sci-fi book that takes place after the war that K'tul brought down upon Yenda and Yanda. Yanara, a renowned worldmaker, has a hard time remembering what happened after she used her supernatural powers to bend the sun to save her people. This is a fascinating story with unusually named characters and a focus on family. To learn the details of the war and what happened to Yanara and her people read the book. Good review.

From previous books/memoirs I have read and stories also, I think the aftermath of a war is often more devastating than the actual war itself on most people. Most people are traumatized beyond therapy which is depressing. I really hope Yanara and her children can move on and find the peace of mind the desire.

Congrats on the BOTD!
Well-written, thorough review. When Mandolen began aiding Yanara and Frost in healing from their wounds, things really heated up. I enjoyed the author's inventiveness and imaginative language in this book. romance and science fiction combined. romance and science fiction combined. I appreciate that it has movie potential.

Truly, the effect of the war has not always been something to experience. That is why it is better to live peacefully than to engage in war. Nice review!

I'm not a fan of supernatural-themed books so I'm going to pass on this one. Plus, the names of some of these characters are hard to pronounce and that's going to irk me. Contrast to the author for having the BOTD.
