Patch Man
I am not a fan of novels in which characters are imbued with mythical powers. However, the review has set my curiosity raging. I would like to know the kind of world Var and Meesha and the others live in. Hence I will love to read and explore further this world

Sounds like it could be interesting. I wonder if there might be a few too many characters to keep track of!

War and prophesy and kids is a pretty common theme in sci-fi novels, but this one seems to be a pretty good version instead of the same old thing you'd come to expect. I don't expect to fall in love with it, but I'll definitely try it and see!

Congrats on the review! I might like the fantasy aspect. But I don't think I'd like the adult scenes. Other than that, it seems like a very adventurous read.

I'm a huge fan of the fantasy/science fiction genre and this story already sounds so exciting. I'm curious as to how Patch Man and Meesha go about saving the world. Great review!

Thanks for your review! I would love to learn more about the dynamics between the Patchman and the young girl. I'm curious about his powers as well.

I'm not sure how I feel about the prophecy aspect of the book, especially since it involves such a young girl, but I'm interested enough in the outcome that I think I'll read it. SciFi/Fantasy is a genre I usually enjoy. Thanks for the informative review!

The review is well detailed. Great review, though I don't think I would check the book out. Here are so many books on prophesies now in the fantasy genre. Great review, still.

This fantasy novel sounds like a lot of other ones I've heard, so I'm not sure that this book is for me. Although I have to say after reading your review, I personally don't think the cover art seems misleading but maybe there's a plot reveal in the novel that explains your opinion. Overall, great review!

I’m interested in some of the sci-fi aspects of this story, especially those involving peripheries. Further, I enjoy character driven books and these characters sound well drawn.

Although I'm not generally into Science Fiction type works, the review you've provided has piqued my interest in Patch Man. The maturation you've described on Meesha, the little girl, throughout the story, suggests that the author has successfully blended a "coming of age" story with an exciting, action-filled narrative. I look forward to checking this book out.

About half of the review is a summary of the plot. I'm thankful for that because it gives me a large idea about what the book is all about. However, I hope you would've put more specific information about what was good or bad about the book. I honestly am not sure what made you give it a rating of 4 out of 4 stars, so I can't really take your word for it. Thank you though!

'Official Review: Patch Man', by Rick Stepp-Bolling, is a lengthy one, and inculcates an interest in the story of the book.

The review is concise and thorough. it not only tells the premise of the story but gives very vivid descriptions of the characters. Although sci-fi is not one of my regular genres to read, this review definitely makes me want to read Patch Man in its entirety.
