From the sample pages, I love the genre of the supernatural, myth and magic. The book is well written and with an enticing plot. The depictions of characters and the settings are great just like you've reviewed, great job.

This book of magic and fantasy from the ancient mythology is freshly baked from the oven. I love how the characters were given roles. Cleandra is my favorite character because of her un0redictable powers and I find Nymue intriguing.

This sounds like this is another excellent addition to the high fantasy genre. The market is ripe with strong contenders in this genre but it sounds like this one stands out.

Oh wow! This is a book I'll have to read. I love fantasy novels, and well-written ones are rather scarce, so your wonderful review made me crave for reading this book :)

It's good to know that the author made unique changes in the generic mythical characters (like wolves and elves) that we know. Add to the fact that there seems to be a lot of strong female characters here, I would very much love to read this book. Thank you for your review!

Cleandra's story in The Green Lady sounds interesting. Generally, I like depictions of strong female characters; it's good to know this female protagonist is represented that way in the narrative. I think this book is a must read for me. The review is well-done.

Right from my childhood, I have always loved fantasy books. Ancient realms of myth and magic are part of my nature.

The story described in the review is reminiscent of King Arthur.

Give the author a rousing ovation, and do your best to read the book.

I like you say there's balance in this story 'cause it's unique but familiar at the same time and I'm curious enough to find out by myself. I do not like cliffhangers but if a sequel is coming, no problem, then. Thanks for this great review!

This is not usually the kind of book I read; however, after reading this review, I have to say I'm now considering giving it a try. I love books with strong female characters and this sounds like it would fit he bill. Looking forward to reading this.

It must be interesting to read this book with all those elemental magic, myths and shapeshifting. With its fast-paced plot and its great number of twists I'm sure the book will keep you standing on your toes up to the end. But I hate cliffhangers, I like to read stories with a complete ending. I've downloaded the first part of the story (thanks for making it free) and will be waiting for the continuation.

What an excellent review. It clearly outlines the plot and the focus of the story. This book doesn't appeal to me but that is is no way a reflection of its quality and it sounds a must-read for anyone that enjoys the fantasy genre. :techie-studyinggray:
