Intriguing! I love to read a fantasy book though its a shame about these spelling errors. Maybe I will try checking them out if there's any edition (after editing and proofreading). So I'll have to pass for now. Thanks for the review.

Carbynarah is a world at war with itself. The powerful armies of two neighboring kingdoms, the Shakarine & Warteen, are threatening the Yemenee kingdom. The book has dragons too? Absolutely incredible for you to read & recommend to other like minds for them to enjoy & relate with

At 600 pages, it most likely needed the length to get everything across! Unfortunately, it's quite easy to let those pesky errors slide on by. But dragons and magic and war, Oh My! :) Sounds like a great epic fantasy!

Thanks for your review. I agree, it seems like quite an exciting story but one that would really benefit from tightening up the language and more detailed editing.

Great Review...very detailed, I enjoyed the review and I enjoyed the sample of this. I love the fantasy magic stories, Wizard and elves and things like that, and this doesn't seem to disappoint. 2 thumbs up to the author, I will be seeing if they have other stories to choose from.

I like this book because I could see how a series would develop as battle preparations develop. I agree that a map of the area would have been good in order to have a mental layout of the land as the story progressed. I also think that your rating was appropriate considering the numerous grammatical errors. My favorite part is that the king's daughter becomes a strong and independent warrior.

Thank you for your review. I'm curious about the surprise ending, but I'm not sure about the names. Carbynarah sounds like an Italian dish.

The widespread editing errors are unfortunate since it seems like it would have a perfect review if fixed. While this book seems to have a lot going on, fantasy is not my genera.
