Thanks for the review. I really enjoy books that are well edited. I have heard lots about a Loadstone and it would be really interesting to read about it!

The book is out of this world from the crack in the rock. The unnamed language coming out of the crack and the frighten town. The wild magic is enough for anyone to run. Nice review.

It seems like a really interesting book! I absolutely love sci-fi/ fantasy books and will definitely add this to my reading list. Great review by the way!

Thanks for the honest review. I am not very fond of sci-fi fantasy considering that I am on the side of religious reality. But I have read few pages just for curiosity. Maybe I will finish it later as the review seem to invite my attention. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

That is so odd. This is actually one of my readerly pet peeves. Some authors can pull it off, but it's rare.
Despite that, I'm intrigued :)

This sounds like a great book. I only like certain types of books in the fantasy genre and I wasn't sure I'd like this one. Then I read the first couple of pages and was hooked--it sounds like I'd love it!

Thank you for the thorough review! Not typically my genre of choice but I have been known to make exceptions - it is useful to have such a detailed review to help me decide if a certain book is something I want to commit to.

This genre' isn't usually something I would want to read. The example on Amazon and your review makes me more interested. :techie-studyinggray:

What an insightful review! If I were not up to my ears with the pending assignments, I would have dived into this book immediately. Anyway, this is in my "to-read" bookshelf.

Great review! I don't think this book is for me. I don't mind the blood and guts but I am not a fantasy or sci-fi fan. However, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
