Love it.

I like stories about alternative worlds. And you'ver created a good one here: a whole different realm populated by fairies. Terra is an easy to like main character. As soon as these strange people discover her, your reader wants to protect her from coming to harm at their hands or by the task they give her to fulfill. It's a good read. Burgio (Grain of Salt).

This is very well-polished prose, easily enjoyable fantasy. Props to you for your use of evocative descriptive language. You involve the reader in each scene, surrounding the reader with the happenings of the story. I have no nits... the text is tight, the narrative is smooth, and the natural tension created by Terra's displacement hums through the narrative like a steady tone. Ch 1 builds a momentum that makes it impossible not to venture into chapter 2. I'm glad I found this tonight. Happy to place on my shelf. Cheers, MJ

Love it.

The author is an expert at creating mood and setting. I felt I was there with Terra, herself an enchanted being. I look forward to reading to the end.

Dear Kasie, You have another wonderful story - reminds me of Enchanted which is one of my very favorite movies. :) Your paragraphs & dialoge are nice & crisp. :) Am backing this one, too. :) You've already back my 2 memoir books. :) Thank you. :) Love, Susie :)

Your book is well written and your use of short paragraphs keeps the pace of your story flowing nicely. Your use of imagery is excellent, your character development of Terra is solid and all of this coupled with your descriptive writing style makes your finely crafted fantasy a pleasure to read. Backed.

Your short pitch is interesting and has potential, however, I wonder if Terra is actually too old to fit into this storyline? She is obviously an intellect too and doesn't appear to be particularly dreamy - I think perhaps the main character should be younger and more dreamy. I think too, your book will be aimed at a younger audience, so perhaps a older character would not be so appealing? Once I got over this obstacle, I enjoyed your book which was easy to read and I was certainly entertained. Best wishes - Paula (Cuthbert: How mean is my Valley?)

Kasie, What an enchanting romantic story. Your imagery is beautiful. How I wish I cold be there, I was a little ealous of terra, to still believe and be trusted. You have alot more here then just fantasy, you need to add more genre's this has a very large market.

There is a poetic lyrial feel to your writing, even though the first chapter was somewhat long I found myself happy that there was so much interest to bring us in to this magical circle.

There is humor, love, romance and a good storyline. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of work I will add to my comment when I finish, so happy it's a complete work Backed with a HUGE smile Patricia aka Columbia Layers of the Heart

I found a few typos like though instead of thought in 3rd paragraph. I really like your story and I love anything with fairies. Backed it with pleasure.

Kasie, do you know this is a GREAT BOOK, It a MUST READ. I will read more and back your book later, shelved.
Would you like to give a thought of Bamboo Promise?

Hi Kasie, As fantasy and romance, this is a fun leap into Shakespeare’s fairy world – with the addition of Maclyn. His personality and seduction came off well and then Puck’s joke. The writing helps identification with Terra – it’s like the donkey but luckily, she goes through no negative change? A nice take-off! Shelved – Katherine (The Swan Bonnet)

Reminded me of Gaiman's and Vess's 'Midsummer Night's Dream'...a doth of the cap by you, purchance? Loved it!!
Backed!
A look at Sicilian Shadows would be greatly appreciated.

If you back my work, you may want to approach BJD (a big supporter of my work) for a read of your book.

Great story, great pitch...Backed.

HI Kasie! Your book is an adventurous story that will appeal to a wide audience. There is light-heartedness in your tale, but it is combined with maturity. I backed your book immediately after reading it! :-)

I recommend you add Fiction and Romance as genre categories for your book. This is just a suggestion, but because your book is almost 100,000 words in length, you could break it into two books - the first half being book 1 and the second half being a sequel - so long as there is a good break point / ending you can add to the end of the first half of your current long-form book. Having a short first book will aid greatly when you seek your first book deal because publishers like shorter-length first books to save printing costs.

I am glad to back Magic's Guardian, and to call you my friend! You're the only person I've met on this site who read Journey to the West - all 100 chapters of it! :-)

Yours Truly,
