Great review. I'm not big on YA, so I'll probably pass. Good to know the ending surprised you and kept you entertained.

This is not my preferred genre, and I do not think this is the book for me, but I want to say that your review was excellent! After I went to Amazon to read the plot description, I still felt like I had no clue what this book was about. Hello? They need to replace it with your review!

I also like how you mentioned this book would be good for readers over the age of 16...so good to know! I'm a high school teacher and I don't always have time to read every SINGLE book that I post on our classroom Book Recommendation Board. Often, I rely on the reviews of reliable sources before I post a book that I think my students might enjoy. I consider you a reliable source, so thank you very much!

Romance isn't particularly my genre but sounds interesting. Great review, loved your synopsis.

Nice review! This doesn't really sound like my kind of book, but I like that the author constructed such an elaborate fantasy world.

I wish the author could find another way of writing this.

This is awesome. Fantasy, romance. Travis and his friends,Bekka, Vallas, Randar. The characters are intriguing. A chance to delve into the book's Orian world. Everyone has to read it. Am amazed and i can't wait to read the full book.

Great review it gives wonderful insight of the story and the adventure that is sure to come in a romance novel.

I'm interested to dig and read about this world that Karen Glista has created. Taking it to my shelf

Thanks for the great review! This sounds like a good story for young people who like fantasy. It's interesting to hear that the female character has Marfan syndrome. I think there are a lot of people with disabilities that could relate to her character.

Interesting plot point of having someone close to death transported into an online game world. Thanks for the review.

I won't say much really.... But someone should have told me what I was loosing out by not having an interest in fantasy creatives. I would help you rather case you're just like "me before" then see what you'll "thank me later" for just recommending... But before that lest I forget thanks Karen Glista for the wild exposure to fantasy creativity, but next time reduce my stress of grammatical errors. Thanks again

'Embellished' by Karen Glista is a wonderful, well written fantasy, full of adventures and romance. You'll certainly love the well developed and diverse characters, as well as the plot twists. Although satisfied, I wish there were more action in the story. Romance, fantasy and adventure fans will find 'Embellished' their preferable book.
