review 1: I liked the story. Ms. Zamin has the makings of a good writer IF she can find a good editor. I found myself mentally inserting "of", "for", ""to", and "with" where prepositions had been (unintentionally?) left out.Vocabulary was also a problem. There were several egregious errors; the following were annoying enough that I made note of them."Silver LIGHTENING laced through them, a silently flashing filigree." LIGHTENING is a verb form; the noun, meaning a bolt of electricity, is LIGHTNING."... attempted to STAUNCH the flow of blood." A loyal friend is STAUNCH; the verb STANCH is used when referring to an effort to stop a flow of blood."... soothe her ROLLICKING stomach." My best guess here is that the author meant ROILING stomach.Very late in the book I also saw "...o... morene of the MAN ..." and "... a group of HORSEMAN ...", obviously errors in the plural forms.The book ended quite abruptly, on a cliffhanger, making me think there might be a sequel sometime in the future to tie up the loose ends. This book was not bad for a first effort, but there is definitely room for improvement.
review 2: Horrible book. Plot made no sense and too much twists to make the story plausible let alone enjoyable. Story unsuccessfully tried to merger Romanish society with mythical Atlantis where Atlantis was real...hell even the heroine, Calista didn't even think Atlantis was real so how could the reader?Only finished it was it was free through Barnes and Noble, plus I wanted to give it a chance even despite the poor ratings. Clearly this author needs to go back to literary school to learn how to craft a better story. less
