I'll grab it. Sounds interesting. You should put it on Storygraph. It's pretty easy. Lots of people are trying to get off of Goodreads.

Yours were surprisingly not as difficult to pronounce. They were just VERY strangely spelled. But you know what you should do wharn you complete your book? A pronunciation guide. Just in case.

My first time reading your WIP. Wow the relationships sound very GoT. πŸ₯¨ πŸ˜‚ I'm not a high fantasy person for one main reason. You might find it to be a strange reason. But why are most names not pronouncible? And

She doesn't deserve 2 b written into ur book unless u make her 😈 Sounds like she doesn't deserve having a creative kid (no matter age) like u. Just keep pushing ur creativity whether she appreciates/approves of it or not. Every1 needs the joy it gives them+the possible joy it may give some1 else.

When a person believes that a 79-year-old felon with 34 convictions, six bankruptcies, a love for dictators, and imaginary β€œbone spurs” will lead this nation to greatness, it is a clear indication that the individual has profound psychological problems. In other words, they are batshit crazy.

Can she start a new life somewhere else in the middle of a town of people who are politically polar opposites of what she has always been?

And loved them. So I needed to take a chance on this political novel.

This poor nurse who has always been sympathetic to the downtrodden, is getting tromped on herself this time. And she no longer has her friends to help her. Now what is she supposed to to do?

As a US citizen, I have been watching the turmoil that is happening in real time. I was so curious to see how this author in particular was going turn the life I am seeing flash before my eyes, into a dystopian novel. I have previously read ACs Korean dystopian series Juche+loved them.

A crumbling democracy torn apart by political polarization, the news replaces by propaganda, social media flooded with vici7trolls, people losing access to health care, the political leadership owned by major corporations and special interest groups, rampant corruption on every possible level, life-shattering cancel culture on either side of the spectrum, hate crimes against minorities... And an unsuspecting nurse caught in the middle of it all.

Same here. When my mom was 13, my grandpa scored a lifetime subscription for #ReadersDigest for some crazy small amount of money back in the 1950s. It lasted 79 years. He had no idea he had found the deal of the century.
