I think reading this book will be an opportunity to study the planet called Venus since I know nothing about it. I would also love to point out that I love what inspired the writer "love for history." Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

This one's a unique story collection with planet Venus in common and each story is related to other in some way. It really is a wonderful take on history where Venus bears witness to. Thank you for the wonderful review!

This historical novel sounds like a great book. The arrangement of the separate stories so that they eventually intertwine is an interesting format. I find it interesting that each story involved Venus. I look forward to discovering the significance there. Thank you for the great review!

I like the author's experiences which he has compiled down as historical fiction. It would be great reading some of his philosophical views on life. Thanks for the great review.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I’m not particularly interested in the French Revolution or the goddess Venus and I generally don’t enjoy historical fiction, so I think I will pass on this one.

I enjoy reading historical books. But i am not sure how the author links the French Revolution with Goddess Venus together into a coherent form. I think i will pass on this time. Thanks for the review!

As historical fictions ain't really what I love, I'll pass it on to those who might find interest in it. I believe it's a good book judging by it's rating. Congratulations on BOTD

This is nothing short of a passionate work from a passionate author. It's interesting to see how to author talks about Planet Venus with so much zest. One would think he lives in Venus and not Maine.

It will be lovely to learn more about Venus reading from different perspectives. The author must have had several experiences regarding the topic.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

This seems like a very interesting book but sadly I do not like a book with different stories in it. I prefer it being one story and the plot does not seem to interest me. I loved the review though.

Words can't explain how much I love historical novels. I have never read any historical work on other planet, but this would be an opportunity for me to read one. Nice review, congrats on BOTD.
