A romantic fantasy is definitely one of my genres. Thanks for this wonderful review.

Thanks for your insight. This sounds like a fantasy I would like, although I'm not much on romance.

When I read the description of the book provided by the author, I thought that the story's plot has a great potential. However, upon readong the first few pages of the book, I honestly felt betrayed as the characters seem a bit flat and not representative of the way people act in our society. Regardless, if the reviewer thinks that this is indeed a must read, I would gladly try to read a few more pages and my verdict might still be altered. Also, while it is true that grammatical errors may disrupt the flow of reading, I would not mind it as long as the novel promises to allow me to explore the depicted world as seen by the characters.

Wow! I am not so much an avid fan of sci-fi and fantasy stories, but reading Karen's review makes me think otherwise. The story seemed to have brought me to Orian while being glued to my chair. Splendid book and awesome review. Congrats!

It could be better than what I anticipated from the review. It's actually fun reading this cause I want to see it turns out. Half way through reading it.

This love triangle between Bekka and the two prince is quite intriguing. I wonder if Bekka chose one from them in the end. Congrats on a well written review!

Thank you for your honest review! That's a shame about the grammatical errors, but I do appreciate the sexual scenes being tasteful.

Love triangles are something I could never stand in a story, but from your review, this book seems to make the trope work. You've got me curious to see if it's actually done well. Thanks for that.
