Great review! I love how the author has developed the political landscape and characters in 'On the Precipice'. The rivalry between Lord Regents and the election season backdrop sound like they make for an exciting read. I'm particularly curious about how Liston's mentorship of Raelynn will unfold.

I was skeptical reading the book just by the title and just the sample seems to be tough for me to indulge further. Quite a complex narration and concept, but in awe for the author's creativity and talent for unimaginable storyline.

One can find some world building and politics topics in the book "On the Precipice" by Brianna MacMahon. The book tells us about Imperium, a planetary civilization that split from the Core due to differing church beliefs.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

An astute reader of "On the Precipice" will be able to draw parallels between the high-wired, contrived politics of our world today and that obtainable in Imperium. Thanks to the review team for a wonderful job.

This sounds like the author put a lot of dedication into this novel. Books that start slow often get overlooked because the reader doesn't give it time to understand. However, it takes skill to pick up the page and immerse the reader. Although this isn't a novel I would normally read, I am interested so I did download it to give a try.

I always marvel at the world building in novels set on another planet. The political aspect sounds pretty much like Earth, some politicians just fight to better their own positions while others do more for the people. Thank you for your informative review.

Politics is always exciting and quite juicy. Humans are social animals who love to participate in politics. The author has expanded politics to the universe. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

"On the Precipice (New Caelus Book 1)" features a fascinating story of political intrigue and rivalry in the independent colony of Imperium. Raelynn, a recent graduate, is mentored by the Lord Regent of Diplomacy, Levine Liston, sparking tensions with the Lord Regent of War, Cyno Banner. The novel's world-building, character development, and political drama make it an immersive and engaging read. Sounds captivating! Thank you for the review.

"On the Precipice" by Brianna MacMahon is an outstanding science fiction book. A planetary civilization named Imperium split from the Core. The reason for the split was different church beliefs.

Thank you for a detailed and engaging review.
"On the Precipice" by Brianna MacMahon.
The Imperium sounds rebellious and exciting. I am confident, though, that the split from the core has rubbed shoulders on the wrong notes, considering the difference in beliefs. The best way to confirm this , no doubt is by exploring this book for myself at some point.
The Lord Regent plotlines , depicted from the review sound engrossing.
Congratulations on BOTD!
