I’m not really interested in superhero or supernatural themed books, so I’ll pass on this one. But I’m glad you found so much to like about this book despite the grammatical issues.

'Official Review: Aluria', by Tyler Cook, is an aid to deciding whether to read the book or not, as it elaborately describes the story of the book.

With all the several grammar errors throughout the book, it has served its purpose, I guess. Because according to this review, Tessa met Jason again and this time their narrow escape, with the help of Aluria, is still a win for me. I think this review makes it clear that the book satisfies.

Well, I read some part of it and is really kind of naive and innocent in a way. Truly heroic yes but I don't know if I can be convinced to like it all the way...

The story of the book is complex and when I say complex I mean that how could Jason sacrifice his teen in this story book. Jason took a wrong step

I found your review added to my reading of the preview. Jason and Tessa get kidnapped by Raiz and the adventures take flight.

I chose not to purchase the book. As I currently have seven books to finish this week.

Although this is not the book for me, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your review was helpful and entertaining...I'm still smiling. :-) Sounds like a great #BOTD for those who are lovers of the genre, superheroes, and action-packed scenes. Thank you and great job!

Aluria by Tyler Cook is a book that keeps the reader glued to the pages with the captivating story of love,sacrifice,boldness and determination being demonstrated throughout the entirety of the book. Though a fiction,the outplay of the story elucidates a picture of reality in the manner the author knitted out the story.
I score the Author and the book highly and I recommend to all classes of readers.
I believe everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. In as much as some reviews has been made in the negative,I still feel strongly for the book. I am a student of Literature myself,I appreciate the use of words and I appreciate creativity.

Good review of this book. Provided a nice overview of the story without giving too much away and left readers wondering what else happens along the journey. Also, provided some "food for thought" at the end of the review for readers to consider after they read the book.

I'm pretty excited because I love the Batman. Despite that, I hope the plot doesn't follow too closely to Batman's and that there isn't a Joker, Robin or a Justice League. I am hoping that since it is a supernatural entity that has merged with Jason, the villains would be of a supernatural origin as well ( Kind of like a combo of Constantine and Batman :D ). Regardless,I think this would be an a good read because the characters this book promises (or has the potential for) tend to be interesting and complex.

Who doesn't love a hero? I like that Jason made a conscious decision to leave and master his powers without putting anyone else in harm's way. Nice one and keep it up.

This book felt choppy,I would likely be able to fully indulge in it after a few chapters. The concept of supernatural protagonists is fun, I like how he gets his shared power and how he uses it to help his city.

This book seems like something I would perhaps enjoy from reading the review, after all, I like superheroes and sci-fi/fantasy, but the sample I read left me cold. Perhaps it gets better as you get further on in the story.
