Yeah! I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
At the moment the book is getting the typical Goodreads and Amazon trolling with a new release. Even after publishing 20+ books, every single release has had the troll types pounce immediately. They seem to like to rate every new book by an author a one or two star as if the story has so many typos they can't read it, or that it's so terrible and hard to follow it deserves the worst or second worse rating possible for a story. I always have to wait for the first hundred reviews to roll in for the trolls' ratings not to matter. Reviews like 'no sex or curse words' - 1 star (not this book but one of mine). 'Multiple characters with points of view that change with new chapters' - 1 star (this book). 'Weirdest book I've ever read' - 1 star (this book). It makes me wonder if they've read books other than the same old thing over and over. This story is far, far from the weirdest book I've ever read. Or like those other things never happen in books and make a story deserve the lowest ratings possible? Have they read fantasy with magic before with realistic characters that are human like and not just the typical hero type who does everything right? I just don't understand the process of releasing on this site or if many of the first ratings are other indie authors I'm competing with, or their family members, but I AM glad you and many others are here!
Sorry, I ended up venting as it's release week, but I do hope you enjoy the book! Finding readers who enjoy stories is why I write.
