They didn’t even know how to pray! The author blamed this on their being ‘cerebral’ in their approach. But seriously, isn't three years a long time to remain blank?
😀 Not if they had other interests, like girls or women. It is said that a deep focus only on the Cupids Arrow could cancel other vital functions. Perhaps, this created the blank. Thank you for your original review, but I think I'll skip this one.
You really made me laugh! :lol2: And I guess it's possible... Hormones can cancel neurons, I suppose. :P
:lol2: Shhht! 🤫 we don't want the neurons to hear us! They might feel offended.

But if the author wanted to achieve this, he should've created a much more believable and compelling narrative. Not all stories have to be page-turners and I understand as readers sometimes we suspend disbelief but the points you make about prayer, ADHD, etc. make it seem like a lack of attention to detail from the author.
Thank you for your very honest review but I'll skip this one.
My very thoughts exactly. You don't make something so unappealing then turn it around the last minute. What stays is more the unappealing!

Thanks for stopping by and giving feedback.

At first, the premise sounded quite promising, but as I got further along your descriptive review, I could see the stars fizzing out. Thanks for the fantastic review.
