I would love to thank the author for providing me with a review copy of this book. First of all, I must say I really enjoyed it. There's so much passion in this story, and I'm sure it's a great prelude to a full-length epic fantasy novel. As with "A Place To Go", another book I read by this author, this book is not very lengthy, and I just can't help wishing there were more to read. The setting was chosen very well by the author, but I wish there were more details of it here and there. The same refers to the characters, who were well done but I didn't have enough time to get to know them better. My favorite part in the book is where Naia bumps into a sea dragon and then tries to escape it. Here I managed to really get bonded with her, with what she felt at the moment when the sea monster could kill her at any moment, and I was on the edge of my seat reading and fearing of what might happen to her.I'd say this book is not for YA but older readers as there are a few erotic scenes (that I didn't see coming in the first place). These are really well done I should say.I'd definitely read more, and I'd advise the author to give it a try and flesh out this story and "A Place to Go" into bigger stories because they have a chance to become real gems.My actual rating of "Warriors of the Atlantean Empire: The Ensuing War" is 4.25 stars. Thank you, Cheryl, for the great read!
