My Review:
I have never read anything like this before. Its originality breaks new ground and leaves the reader wanting more. The premise, world-building, and characters create an unmatched story.
The world-building is filled with details and takes the story into new areas not seen in fantasy books. The universe the author conceives is original and believable. I know it’s a total fantasy but trust me, you’ll be a believer too after reading this book.
The action scenes are well thought out and pulls the reader in. A couple of times my breath caught. Good job.
The characters are well written with their own backstory. The characters are easy to follow thanks to the deep POV.
The story moves at a nice clip with enough to keep readers entertained for hours.
An original story you won’t soon forget.

Author Biography:
I think I have unique and interesting stories to tell and likewise a storyteller in general, I think have a lot to say about life in general and I think I could even quite possibly teach the reader a thing or two.
