An interesting review, if you are a fan of sci-fi/fantansy, then this is the right book for you.
I love the author's introduction of a pronunciation guide, so to enable reader pronounce the Hawaiian word in the novel.
Readers will find this book captivating.

Sounds like an enthralling read. I don't think the fact that one has to keep on checking the pronunciations and meanings of the words would be that tiresome if the book is as interesting as it sounds. I love fantasy novels and I would not mind finding out whether Boy and Sistah finish their quest. Really thorough review.

I am not thrilled by the marriage of a brother and sister, but this seems interesting. Thank you for the descriptive review.

Your review of this book is very detailed and informative enough to guide would-be readers decide whether to pick it or not. I admire plot and character development, as well as the addition of Hawaiian glossary explaining to foreign readers the meaning of certain Hawaiian terms.

I've never read a story based on Hawaiian cosmology, so I'm curious about the setup of this sci-fi book. However, I want to read the book first because some information don't have proper explanation here. Besides, the new words may confuse me and will lessen my enjoyment in reading this book. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This is a well-written and fast-paced sci-fi/fantasy novel. I liked that it is divided into different levels of heaven/creation in Hawaiian Cosmology. The book is truly intriguing that hooks the reader till the end. I think it's a great story and topic for young children to read, as they will not only learn from another culture but also have a great time doing so. Interesting combination getting the point across that united they can have better lives.
The review is superb.

Hawaiian cosmology is new to me but I do like sci-fi novels and this is one of them with creatures with no facial features.
Nice review

This book seems to be helpful for those that want to learn the Hawaiian language unofficially. The glossary and how to pronounce the word that the author included are helpful tools.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

The plot if this book sounds adventureous and intriguing. Destpite the need to lookup words at the end, I'll still like to explore the adventure of Boy and Sistah. Congrats on BOTD

I like the storyline. Some mystical creature trying to assist Boy and Sistah to unite all of the islands in the Ocean World. I anticipate an enjoyable reading time. Congrats to the author on being the BOTD!

There are a bunch of things to learn from this book. A few of them are the Hawaiian language and how to pronounce them. It also emphasised the importance of planning.
