You will love the world-building and detailed character descriptions.The Battle for Andalon is on and all Hands are on Deck!””In this dystopian vision, author T.B.Phillips has created a page-turner - a book that is challenging to read, but a very rewarding one. The writing style is cinematic, the pace is good, and the characters are captivating. I especially like the female heroines, who are feisty warriors. There is plenty of contrast in the depiction of characters and they feel real because of their human flaws. The epic sea-battles are especially convincing, since the author draws on a world he knows well.The best thing about this book is the detailed world-building. There is a sense of mystery and a world beyond the book, a magical or spiritual dimension which is explored by the emotants and their animal familiars. Co-existing with this idea of magic and prophecy, is the reality of political machinations and a brutish world where duplicity reigns. The book is thought-provoking." - Suzy Davies, ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
