Oh, too bad. Maybe the plot suffered because of the length. It's good that it was a short read for you.

Thanks for stopping by my review.

I do not prefer books that are poorly edited. I don't think I would read this book. Thanks for the review.

Sometimes it happens, we start a book with lots of hopes and then it just crashes. But as always I liked reading your views.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

Metzra is a world his mother told him about in fairy tales when he was child.

I am sorry you had to go through this experience. As a librarian with over a quarter century of experience, I understand the disappointment when a book does not live up to expectations—especially after spending time, effort, and funds on acquiring and reading it. You showed determination in completing the story. Thank you for your honest review.

I'm having a difficult time picturing a horse-snake. Is that a horse with the head of a snake? Or perhaps a snake with the legs of a horse?

Your review is rather entertaining. I know it can be difficult to write reviews for books that just don't "cut it."
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

I am sure the author will make use of the information you gave him/her to make the book better. It sounds like with proper flesh ,the book will be interesting. Thanks for the good review.

Oh, wow! The book has a mysterious cover and a good title. The plot sounded so intriguing as well. Too bad the author did not hire an editor or review his writing. It also seems like the storyline was not completed. I hope he learns from this one. Thanks for the honest review!

That was quite the honest review. I would still read it though, to try and see if I understood the thought process

"Metzra" by M.U. Phoenix

I love the thought that the book Metzra is a short fiction book that can be read in one day. I know a lot of people who can definitely relate to Raivy's mother passing away :cry: When my grandmothet passed away 3 years ago due to cancer, I would not talk to anyone but God. I stayed to myself for a very long time and even stop eating for a while :oops: So I can definetly relate to Raivy. I agree with the author that this is a book thar you would think long about after reading this book, as the ending is to be continued...

Oh, no. What a bummer! I really dislike books where the point of the story is unclear and you have to question why you read the book in the first place. Due to the errors, the stilted dialogue, and the plot holes, I definitely do not plan on reading this one. Thank you for your honest review. Hopefully, the next one is better!
