Raising a Hero

by T.S. Lowe

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of their unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car crash.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother, a beginner god who needs help raising the hero of his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her an opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a semi-ageless body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to finally have someone to baby. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

vou fazer uma #resenha seria desse livro pois estou atoa 🩷

eu acho que a escrita deixa muuito a desejar. achei ela divertida e fluída, mas tinha uns erros de gramática que até eu que não sou fluente percebi, alem de parecer mt com escrita de fanfic, faltava só o N/A pra escritora comentar no meio do livro. além das referências no meio do livro sem qualquer tipo de contextualização, que quem n tivesse aquele repertório simplesmente NÃO IA ENTENDER. outra coisa que é bom comentar, é a falta de tato da autora de escrever sobre temáticas mais sérias com sensibilidade, tipo quando ela falava sobre estupro e pedofilia, faltou um tato maior :/ ela falava sobre como se não fossem top 10 coisas mais sérias do mundo, em um momento do livro até usando pra descrever a aparência física de um personagem. achei que faltou também um desenvolvimento do relacionamento da prota, e dela tentando mudar os próprios preconceitos e formas de pensar etc. a construção de mundo achei divertida, tinha algumas falhas mas quem nunca né ! achei o debate religioso legal também.

overral: é um livro que entretém, definitivamente. eu li 1300 páginas em tipo 5 dias né. mas acho que faltou uma sensibilidade maior da autora pra escrever sobre as temáticas que ela abordou com tanta frequência na história

I definitely recommend the author

Possibly start a completely different book series the author has a genuine talent definitely family issues that border on uncomfortable pop up a great deal as far as world building and a genuinely good idea for the protagonist solid just interpersonal skills for the protagonist are awkward and uncomfortable entirely too much especially involving the hero I very much encourage the author to continue right especially thousand plus page books too many authors write 200 Page books and write a never-ending series which just becomes annoying but I definitely respect authors that write books that could be written into trilogies great deal more than authors that are just trying to milk their readers out of money so I may genuinely just buy this book to encourage the author to continue writing I would like to read the second book in the series if it ever gets published but I would actually recommend just starting a new book series and leaving out really awkward interpersonal relationships I will definitely follow the author

This was an amazing read from start to finish

Wow! The amount of time and dedication to this book world is truly inspiring. I couldn't put it down. It was absolutely engrossing. I went through all the feels. This was an epic story full of engaging characters and dazzling world building. I absolutely recommend. I fell in love with these characters, everyone of them. Alas, I am going to suffer a book hangover so hard right now.

Long but good

Very reminiscent of old fashion Epic Knights Tales with a Isekai base—it’s LONG but GOOD. Kind reminds me a little of Tolkien. The main characters have depth, challenges, struggles, realizations, and finally HEA. Definitely a good read, just plan it for a weekend rather than an evening.
