A dystopian fantasy that relates to the current situation sounds quite appealing. I would love to see how the story unfolds and the people in power respond to the threat. Thanks for the detailed review!

I like this book already. It seems to have a very solid storyline, and also at the same time have an underlying theme of love. hopefully the love story in the background ends well for the characters. You have written a simple and excellent review. I love it. Thanks.

This is a unique science fiction fantasy novel highlighting religious beliefs, a global pandemic, and how it served as a warning from the creator. The book is temporarily free on Kindle Unlimited and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

Humans often forget the importance of the reason for their existence and tend to destroy each other and their planet, violating the reason for their upbringing on Earth, and this will lead to the destruction of humanity.good review .

An intriguing dystopian fantasy telling a story of a pandemic-ravaged world is definitely a timely read, especially at a time like this when the world is still struggling to contain the coronavirus. I love that the writing style is praiseworthy. However, I don't think I'll enjoy it. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

Wow, can't believe that the author was able to stuff so many good things into such a short book! It sounds like the author also managed to discuss some important social issues in a meaningful way. Your review definitely makes me want to read this!

I do not read many dystopian books, but this one looks interesting, and I think I would enjoy reading about the characters of Ricky and Sarah as they struggle to survive in the chaotic world ravaged by sickness, death and human greed. Thanks for the good review on this book.

This is an intriguing fantasy book that spreads the message of love. The author's intention to bring some societal ills like rape, aggression, and covetousness to light in this book is clear. It is a must read.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

I'd love to know the ways that Sarah and Ricky employed to evade the people in power. The book seems like a wonderful fantasy novel with a relatable "Covid-19 virus" kinda plot. Great work!

Once I started reading this book, I just couldn't put it down. Thank goodness, it only had 160 pages in it.
That's high praise! Although with such good books, I often don't want them to end, and I wish they were a thousand pages.
Ms. Fostino uses the third-person point of view to tell the entire story, which made me feel I was witnessing simultaneous events in the book from a vantage point.
What an interesting way to see an omniscient point of view. I usually prefer a first person point of view, but you make a good argument.
I couldn't believe how much I feared for Sarah and Ricky's safety. I even fell in love with Sarah due to how brave and determined she was all through the book.
That happens. That's why I have so many imaginary boyfriends. :P

I'm not in a mood to read about a pandemic, but I enjoyed your review very much. Thank you!

The minute there is mention of the current pandemic in any book, I lose interest in it. But after reading your review, I think I'm going to give it a try. You mentioned how well written Sarah and Ricky's characters were and the addition of their backstories, which made me want to check it out. Thank you for your review.
