Well, it does sound like an interesting fantasy novel filled with a lot of suspense and action. I already downloaded the book, so I'll read the first chapter to see how it goes from there. Thanks for the review.

Very long and detailed review haha. But good. For a fantasy it sounds interesting, for some reason when you throw prophecy into a adventure it adds some appeal to me. I downloaded the free pdf file and look forward to reading it when I get the chance, although digital books are new for me, for some reason I find it harder to focus on than a physical copy, but none the less I look forward to it.

Also I'm new to this group, this type of detailed review was a good example for me for when I finish up my first book for this review group ( end of the last great kingdom) and write me first review.

This is exactly my kind if book. The idea if two warring factions set to be united by an innocent young girl fascinates me. I find that the premise instills bravery in younger readers.

Thanks for the review. It is interesting that this book does not have a table of contents as I always like to look at that too and see how many chapters there are. I also think that it gives you a sense of where you are at in the book when you look at the names of the chapters if there are any. This does sound like quite an interesting book and I might be tempted to read it even though I do not normally like fantasy novels.

Thanks for the review. It give a good insight into what the story is about. It sounds more like fantasy than science fiction.

I love the whole idea of a child of prophecy and the whole Patch Man bringing the girl back to life with, well, patches just seems cool! ;)

Thank you for your thorough and genuine review. I also felt that the cover is a bit misleading. As per your recommendations, I believe this is not the book for me. The battles, action, adventure, magic, wars, nudity, sex and the creatures would not be my cup of tea. Your review is very well done though.

Nice review: I like the idea of patch man having super powers to bring the girl back to life. I think this book should get 4 out 4 from me.
It is a really nice Sci-Fi book.

I agree. The premise is really good. It's just the gore that scares me off. :oops:

Sounds like an interesting novel, right up my alley considering it's fantasy. It's too bad that I don't have the time for a 400-page book right now, but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you for the thorough review.

I was lost at "uses his abilities to patch her back to life." I enjoy magic sometimes when I read, but this book sounds like too much of a fantasy novel for my taste. Thanks for the informative review, though! Glad you liked the book.

Good review. So far I am enjoying this one. I love the sci-fi and the backstory that is told is wonderful at filling in the blanks about why each person behaves as they do.
