Island Eight by M.Z Medenciy


Summary:

In a world on the verge of repeating a cataclysmic history, Sophia, a Salinian entertainer, unknowingly holds the key to the world's salvation. She intentionally overlooks their king's tyranny to ensure her happiness, but not even the gods can protect her when the eyes of the castle alight upon her town. After narrowly escaping death with the aid of a mysterious man who whisks her away to once-forbidden lands, Sophia is unwillingly sucked into the brewing war she had so desperately evaded.

In Island Eight by M.Z. Medenciy, Sophia embarks on an unprecedented journey where she encounters new dangers through magic-wielding Fae, discovers a resilience within her she never thought possible, and uncovers a history of the gods and their planet that will change the lives of all forever.

 

Review:

I finished the book a few days ago and have been struggling with how I’d review this book. And I have to say I was very disappointed with this book.  One it’s miss classified. On NetGalley It says Mystery/Thriller, Sci-Fi & Fantasy and it’s not a Mystery/Thriller if another classification is needed it should have been Apocalypse World as that is what this series is.  Second, throughout the book, there are multi-editing errors.  Sentences that are missing a word. If the book was self-published, I’d overlook those errors, but this comes from a publishing house.   On the plus side, the book is well-written, and the characters are well-developed and believable.

Conclusion:

Would I recommend this book to others?  NO

Is this book priced correctly?  No overpriced.

Is this book a full-length novel or novella?  Full-length novel

Would I read other books by this Author?  NO


 I received this copy free for my honest review from NetGalley
