A Great Book Review

Not many people have read my books, and therefore I do not  regularly get book reviews. Thankfully, those who have read my books have enjoyed them, and I am eternally grateful for their kind words. 

"I had a great time reading this book."

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024

I finished Vanguard and went straight into Warfolkan, because I needed to know what happened to Wajue and those lovely elvish sisters. I was not disappointed by the adventure, the new characters, or the development of the story. It twists. It winds. It's just a great, adventurous read.

I personally like to upload the ebook into kindle and ask Alexa to read it to me while I'm walking my dog, cooking, or cleaning, or such. It makes great audio content. I'm completely transported, because Kafka is a master at pacing a narrative. I would especially recommend this book to people who have been reading fantasy for a while and want to rekindle that mischievous joy they experienced when they first discovered the genre.

Everything about this classic fantasy is a treat for readers, but I was charmed by the aquatic dwarves. They're my bros now and I'm looking forward to Sagacity.

I am truly humbled by this review.

Ice Age Drama

Winds of Change in the Ice Age

 

An international court of Shamans ruled that the Arctic High Mammoth warrior’s failure to adequately tackle the Dinosaur crisis is in violation of Amalgamated Cave-People human rights. The landmark Dinosaur judgment could have a ripple effect across the globe.

The Shamans Court of Amalgamated Cave-People Human Rights, in a cave somewhere near the Dead Summit Mountains, delivered its ruling against the Arctic High Mammoth warriors, in a case brought by more than 2,000 Flowers of Pure Snow women, the majority of whom are members of the Bitter as a Berry Tribe. They argued that Dinosaur’s undermined their health and quality of life, and put them at risk of dying. 

 

The Shamans ruled that the Arctic High Mammoth warriors had violated some of the women’s human rights due to “critical gaps” in its routine hunting expeditions to reduce the Dinosaur population, as well as a failure to train new warriors.     

 

This amounted to a breach of the women’s rights to effective protection from the “the serious adverse effects of human-eating-dinosaurs on their lives, health, well-being and quality of life,” the Shamans said in a statement.

 

It marks the first time the Shamans have ruled on Dinosaur litigation. Furthermore, there is no right of appeal and the judgment is legally binding.

 

The Arctic High Mammoth warriors will now have to give the women first dibs on the prime cuts of meat for 1 year.

 

Sheena, from the Flowers of Pure Snow women lawyers’ organization, Loves Shiny Things, said, "This result from the Shaman high court sends a clear message: warriors must take real action to keep women safe while they pick berries and fetch water.”

 

“Today’s rulings against the Arctic High Mammoth warriors sets a historic precedent that applies to all warrior hunter tribes,” Wolfman Jonger, a lawyer at Thunder That Rolls Over Clouds Network, which supported the case, said in a statement. “It means that all hunters must urgently revise their expeditions so that they are science-based and guarantees safety for the women. This is a massive win for all berry pickers.” 

In other news, a group of dinosaurs have hired a lawyer.
