In this sci-fi fantasy, the supernatural abilities of Yanara and her children seem fabulous. Yanara can bend the Sun, and the intriguing idea of moving to a different moon seems fantastic.

I enjoy when authors come out with a second edition, I think it shows a lot about the author taking the ideas accumulated and implementing them. The concept of this book is great, and getting rid of those pesky errors elevates it to fantastic! Thank you for your re-review.

Thank you for your great review. I'm so glad they listened to you before and fixed the errors. I'm also glad you enjoyed the book. While I could tell that the book is well-written and described so well that the reader can picture things in their head, this is not a genre I care for. I hope others will want to read it, but I am going to pass on it.

The ability of Yanara to bend the sun is an intruiging one. I would love to discover how that happened. The book explores polygamy, science, bisexuality, supernatural and a woman as the powerful being.Thank you for a well written review. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

This sounds like an interesting science fiction—maybe science fantasy—novel. It would be intriguing to explore the after effects of war on a people in a speculative fiction setting. The polygamy wouldn’t bother me at all, although I would want to read the first book before I read this one, so I’ll hold off on this book until then. Thank you for the helpful review.

I enjoy sci-fi books, but I am not sure if it is the way the review is written or the book itself that I am not interested in. I feel that it has too many blank spaces and plot holes to be a novel.

I don't believe in polygamy, but I do know of many people who say it is an enriching life. While it is not for me, and I don't think I would enjoy the book simply because of that, I think those who like sci-fi and strong family relationships will enjoy this one. Thanks for the review!

I think that I would get confused too with all of the characters names. I'm not sure this one is for me. I'm curious: how do you end up reviewing the same book twice? Great review btw.

The book sounds fascinating, am intrigued by the culture in the plot storyline, It's an intriguing concept to consider having two spouses. She loved her wife more than she loved her husband, as you pointed out. I hope she finds a way to balance it. Thanks for the review.

I'm not an ardent fan of war thrillers, so ill pass it on to people who resonate with it. Nonetheless, the plot seems engaging and suspenseful. Thanks for sharing and congrats on BOTD.

A science fiction novel with a mix of fantasy. It focuses on a female protagonist who tries to juggle raising her family and leading her people.

The aftermath of war isn't always a memorable one. It takes a lot of things for one to put his or her life together. I hope the story ended with Yanara and the family members putting back their lives in order after the war. Congrats on the book of the day.

This seems like a whole lot is going on and that it could get a bit overwhelming but also seems like it keeps you on your toes!! A perfect sci-fi fantasy novel for fans of that genre. Congratulations on BOTD!
