It was also apparent to me that Ms. Julander carefully edited this book, and I was hard-pressed to find errors.

My favorite aspect of this story is the use of strong female characters. Cleandra is intelligent and formidable in her own right, but her abilities are tempered by her concern for her home and the people she loves. Nymue is also powerful, and both young women are guided by other strong females. However, the women in this story are not empowered at the expense of the males; on the contrary, there are several male characters who contribute in valuable ways.

I enjoy this review and could prove you are a novelist.

A well-written and wonderful review. I find the book interesting and enchanting based on your review. But I'm gonna have to read it to form a full opinion. A strong female character is also what I love as well. Thank you so much for this review that I get to read this book. Have a good day, I'm going to read it and enjoy it.

Thank you for the smooth review. I like that the setting is infused with enough uniqueness to make it stand out while maintaining the familiarity of regular fantasy books. Talk about striking a balance!

Sounded a bit like Tolkien until you mentioned the strong female characters, which is a good component.

I guess this book is really a very good one. I am not into fantasy this time but I guess I would give this a try.

Great review!

Latest Review: "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" by William Combs

Post by Tony Nyakinda »

Wow! A novel with magic in it? This is a must read book. Infact it is difficult now days to find books that empower a gender not in the expense of the other. By the way this book sounds adventures, noting the use of descriptive and varied language to explain character is just my kind of thing. Love this review

The Green Lady may be the answer to settling gender equality issues. It's filled with great suspense and I want one already.
