I'm being exceptionally brave by posting my book here. Also, I don't take criticism well AT ALL, so please be careful.

Hi Kuraudo, thank you for posting your novel. I've only just started reading it; I'm on page 10. I think it's interesting so far and well-written.

Out of curiosity, is the language of the Song of the Yuntarah a fully developed language?

Also, how long did it take you to write the book?

The Yuntarah Song is made from a language, but instead of speaking it, you sing it and can use magic with it. Every word has an entire phrase or meaning attached to it. [There's a dictionary at the end so you can translate the song, but there's also spoilers so it might be good to wait until the end.] :)
Writing my book took me three years. Somehow it seems both a long time and hardly that long at all. 8)
I'm so glad you like it! :cheers: :D

I've read the beginning of the novel and I think you're doing a great job. You should have it published. You could make millions.

^Aww! Thank you! Sweet pea hugs! :heart: :D I'm working on contacting a publisher I found, but if worst comes to worst I might try self-publishing.
