Sounds like the author put a lot of effort into skillfully crafting the world and characters; it is unfortunate that the same care was not put into the punctuation and grammar.

The official review of Embellished by Karen Glista made the idea of playing a fantasy game a lot more interesting. I want to read this book.

From the cover of the book, i noticed it looks exactly as i imagined the book will be enchanted. i always love reading books with a plot where there is conflict between two great forces, lineages or tribes. the representation of the lady in the front page really tells exactly what is written in the book and that is a big kudos to the author. and if i were to have the physical copies of all this stories in my library, then this one will be top of the books.

This review makes the book sound like an interesting mix between a love story, a classic fantasy epic, and Jumanjj. What an interesting combo.

Your review added to my understanding from what I gained in reading the preview of today's book of the day. Bekka in the story gains the ability to live life free of the Marfan disease which has plagued her for several years. I did purchase the book based on your review and the preview.
Great job.

Seems like a very interesting read with the varied races and culture and numerous characters. I like stories without so much cliché. Thanks for the excellent review!

Errors are certainly a problem, and hopefully the ones left in this book aren't too distracting. I wish I knew whether the time in the fantasy world was temporary or permanent, and I wish I knew more about Marfan Syndrome and how it affected the protagonist.

Thanks for the great review. The love triangle between Vallas, Bekka, and Randar is an interesting theme and the world of Orian is very well created which brings us to an enchanted kingdom.
