I really love your book, the plot, the writing style, and the characters. I admire your talents, and I am patiently waiting for book 2 and your other books if you will be writing more.

I think your book 'Silver Guard' is one of the best books I have ever read. I loved every second of it. I love strong female protagonists, found families, deep secrets, bonds, and a devoted male protagonist. This book offered all of this and more. 
          
          You are an amazing writer. Ur writing kept me intrigued till the very last word. The plot, humour, aesthetic, and flirtatious banters were to die for. U created a very beautiful world with amazing characters. I always hope for the side characters to have their own significance in the plot and their own stories. You definitely did that. Ur female protagonist was fierce, intelligent and beautiful but she was also not perfect. She was stubborn and untrusting. This made her beautifully complex and human. I deeply admire that about ur writing. It definitely shows that u spent a great deal of time and effort on this book. And it worked.
          
          I really hope the second book is coming soon. I hope that in the next book Aurelia learns to trust the people she loves and lets go of her secrets a bit. And I wish the king has a bigger part in the action portion of the book. Like, I missed him in the ending of the book 1, when everything unraveled. And why do I fear that you are going to explore some chemistry between Calix and Aurelia? please don't do that. I love Aurelia and the king too much.

@IshaMehmood3 Thank you SO much for this! I can’t even tell you how much it means to hear that you connected with the story and the characters like that. You basically listed all of my favorite things too (strong female leads, found family, tension, banter), so hearing that it all landed for you is best feeling. And I’m really glad Aurelia felt human to you. That was so important to me. I never wanted her to be perfect, just real.
            
            Also, I love your thoughts on book two, I won’t say too much, but trust, secrets, and relationships definitely continue to evolve… and I hear you about Kaius having a bigger part in book 2. Definitely noted and in the works :)
            
            Thank you again for taking the time to write all of this. It genuinely means so much to me, and I’m so glad you’re along for the story!

I found your fantasy book Silver Guard to be very well-structured and thrilling. I wrote a fantasy book called Naima and I hope you will get a chance at reading it sometime if you’re interested. Good luck on getting more reads on your story.

This is truly an amazing book, and you are an amazing author. I’ve read so so so many books in my life, but this is definitely pretty far up there with some of the best. I love the unique storyline and the way everything flows so seamlessly. You’re going to get so far ❤️

@awesomesauce105 Thank you!!! To be completely honest, I spent so many years starting and stopping this book. So many years thinking about Aurelia's story and how I wanted to tell it. And I finally finished it, and it means so much to me to hear that other people have enjoyed it. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!

@RJSParker1 Aurelia stands near the desk, slightly leaning on it for support (because of her injured leg) What do you think?
