My Review

I received a free copy from the author for my honest review.  At first I was a bit intimidated once I saw the large cast of characters.  I honestly wondered if I would be able to keep track of them all.  In the beginning it’s a bit confusing but as you read on you see the characters beautifully interwoven.  There’s a great mix of action, adventure and romance.  I felt really bad for Samasin, as he was really unfortunate, anything bad that happens, happened to him.  He was fated for death even!  All in all, this was a wonderful story, rich in culture and adventure.  It reminded me of the adventure classics of old, like 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Treasure Island, or Robinsons Crusoe.  If you like adventure mixed with cultural history, you’ll love Trade Winds To Meluhha.
