Thanks for the great review! Although you gave the book a high rating, I am not really into sci fi/fantasy. It sounds like a very interesting book, though. The author did a great job on this storyline and series.

Though I am not a big fan of fantasy, this honestly looks quite interesting, if a little verbose. I think it would take some time to get into and enjoy this book, but once you are caught up on the names, settings, characters, creatures, etc, it is captivating and hooking. Looking forward to reading this book and exploring the world of Yanara!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel following Yildiz who is recovering from being in stasis for three hundred years and finds strange scars on his body and a possible love connection to a woman who might have been his lover years before his stasis. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Congrats on BOTD. This is the third book in the Worldmaker series, which continues to follow Yanara and her experiences.

Well-developed characters and descriptive scenes fill the pages of today's BOTD, which is Book 3 in the Worldmaker of Yand series. Readers of fantasy are going to love this novel and will especially enjoy the added elements of mystery, as it adds a bit of wonder to the story. Thank you for the helpful review! :-)

Thank you for your informative review. I'm glad that it was easy to follow even when it changed from the present to the past. Also, I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much. Though I'm not one to read science fiction books, it does sound like a book and a series that those who enjoy that genre will be glad to read it.

It sounds like a thrilling book, and one that readers are able to read as a standalone, despite being part of a trilogy. The author is obviously skilled at character development and world-building, and I think thr writing will resonate with sci-fi/fantasy enthusiasts. Thanks for the lovely review.

This was a great review, I like that you wrote about the emotions you felt and why you rated the book 5 out of 5 despite the errors you found

Elia's third installation in this series sounds exciting and filled with adventure.

That book is full of mystery as someone being found out from a pod in which he's been caged for years sounds enthralling. Congrats on the BOTD.

Although this book appears to be intriguing, I am not interested because I do not enjoy fantasy stories.

I have to admit, I haven't read the first two books of this series, which makes the plot feel complicated when you describe it. Your review speaks about how this could be read as a standalone which is amazing, so maybe I could give it a try. I like how descriptive your review is.

This really isn't my favorite genre, I read the first chapter, and I already picked up on how she has more affection for her wife than her husband, and that bothered me too. I'm going to pass on the rest of it. Thanks for the honest review.

I haven't read any of these books yet but the more I read the reviews the more interested I get. It's seems like it's packed with suspense and mister, which is right up my alley. Thanks for a great review.
