A lost world was founded and came to know that it's similar to our world in terms of racism and all is something I don't want to read at all.
A great author communicates to readers through books. - Anil Gupta

“Aurumia” by Robert Millon is a story about a bizarre expedition of three men. The first character is a young man named Stephen, who asks for an investment that would enable him to explore the unknown lands of a lost civilization. The author is the narrator and Bob insists on going along with Stephen and Bob’s friend George and they set off on their expedition. What will they find in the lost nations of Aurumia and Sklabosia? Will they survive their trip? I was intrigued by the author satirizing our American politics and the only party that can participate in elections is the CRAP party which immediately made me think of the Republican party and what Trump will do to America if he wins in 2024. An interesting tale and a very good review.

Aurumia by Robert Millon seems to center on exploration, politics, and being oppressed by those in higher positions. Congratulations on BOTD!

Expeditions are always full of suspense, twists and turns. I will read "Aurumia" by Robert Millon just to know what the three explorers discovered In Aurumia and Sklabosia.

Steve, Bob, and George embark on a journey to the mysterious land of Aurumia and Sklabosia, a land where those who went never returned. I would love to know about their discoveries in the land they went to explore.

Great presentation. Sadly I'm not a fan of fantasy fiction and so I'll have to pass on this one. But congratulations on being listed as Book of the day

The plot of this story is reminiscent to National Treasure. I love a book that takes me on a journey of discovery and leave me wanting for me. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

It seems like a complex story, somewhat confusing from what I can see, since many things are not clear to me, but I would give it a chance. Thank you

Aurumia seems like an interesting book with a captivating storyline. I like that the story has an element of satire to it. The author uses a lot of puns through out the story to make a point. Hopefully future editions of the book will be better edited. Congrats on making botd!

Despite the editing flaws pointed out, the reviewer's enthusiasm and insightful analysis have me intrigued to explore "Aurumia." The social commentary and the author's criticism of modern capitalism make this book a must-read for those seeking thought-provoking narratives.

The satirical portrayal of the fictional nations, Aurumia and Sklabosia, is a stroke of genius. The way the author uses puns to highlight real-world issues like racism and political absurdities adds an extra layer of depth to the story. I'm hooked!
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

The reviewer's comparison of Sklabosians making themselves into a carpet to show respect, to our world's bizarre customs, had me chuckling. It's fascinating how the author draws parallels between the lost world and our own, revealing the absurdities of human behavior.
