I'm glad you e...Thanks so much for the review!! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope your brothers will too! <br /><br />I have gotten mixed feedback on the first part of the book. I'm chalking it up to me still learning how to write (as you said) and loving action-y stuff. :D <br /><br />And I'm quite fond of that certain endearing hawk. :) Thanks again!! Hope you enjoy the second one even more!

I definitely think my brothers (younge...:) Perhaps. I definitely think my brothers (younger and older) would enjoy the beginning a lot me than me as well. Must just be more a guy thing.<br /><br />I agree. I really feel Claire Banschbach did a good job with her world-building, :)<br /><br />No, it's all good. Yeah, I think a diverse audience could enjoy it... some maybe not quite as much as others... but all in all, it's a great book!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting! :)Shantelle Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671416965777525382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469039199145284278.post-17593400101157252972015-02-13T21:12:15.359-08:002015-02-13T21:12:15.359-08:00Definitely think you gave an honest review!
I ag...Definitely think you gave an honest review! <br /><br />I agree the beginning started a bit slow, but I did enjoy the first half more than you did (chalk it up to my being a guy perhaps?). Certain things did feel skipped over, which I think that might have been a choice by the author to keep the intro from being longer than the primary story. That said, would I have liked to know more about the time between point a and point b? absolutely. All in all I greatly enjoyed the feel of the world established in part one. <br /><br />The story really did become something special in part two though, the ladies in the story not just being flat stereotypes often used in fantasy was a bonus for me, and when my daughter is a few years older I think she will enjoy them as much as I do. Tried to avoid giving anything away the way you seemed to as well, my apologies if I hinted at too much!Johnnyhttps://johnaduggan.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
