Excellent review and summary of the novel. Leaf/Brimstone sounds like an interesting character and the plot sounds exciting. Thank you for sharing.

I am not really up to "dark fantasies, epic battles and magic", as a reference to Christina Rose's review. But her official review was captivating enough that I would try to read the book and see if it was as exciting as she made it sound to be. Great review!

Thanks for the review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I think I'll have to pass on this book due to the violence and allusions to sexual encounters. I hope those who read enjoy.

Sounds interesting! A book that I read of the same genre is good neighbours and I liked it very much! According to this review I hope that I like this book very much.

I am going to give this book a shot, I like the genre, and it'll be fun to join the #BOTM forum for this book. I'm glad you liked it, too bad about the errors. Maybe the author can fix the issues, and get a new review done since the story is so strong. Thanks for the review!

Staring a book with a question makes a reader to be alert because one would want to answer the questions he/she was asked through the content therein. Congrats on being BOTD. .

I had read its sample before but couldn't read it further because of one thing or another. It was very intetesting. The author has created a new world, with a lot of history about Sulphurium. It felt Game of Throne-ish. I look forward to reading it.

A poor and unwanted boy who makes a name for himself? That's quite a read. Thanks for a great review.

I'm wary of the sexual content, especially in a children's book. Thank you for the helpful review.

Sounds like an adventurous coming of age story with the added suspense of learning magic and clearing your name! Thanks for the great review!

I'm a huge fan of epic (and dark) fantasy. This books sounds so amazing. I love the idea of a hero rising from nothing. Always makes for a great story. Thanks for your insight on the book.

Great review. I must say the author had excellent and captivating writing styles. When I once read this, I find myself sucked into the story. I'm not an avid fan of dark fantasy but it sure lured me in. I'm glad this book get to be Book of the Month (December 2017).

A colorful, imaginative fantasy novel that is well-written and well-developed can be difficult to pull off without overwhelming the reader. It sounds like this one hits the mark! Thanks for the review!
