To Barbara:  Thank You!  With most sincere and heartfelt feeling, Thank You!!!!  Barbara has given me an amazing,  AMAZING 5 star review for Echo, Volume 2!  My palms are coated with light sweat as I type this, and though that may be TMI, that’s to let you guys know that my gratitude is such that it actually manifests in the physical sense.

Every writer has those moments where they sincerely question themselves about their story, and with volume II I have had more than my fair share.  And I have hated volume II, oh have I hated it.  Tens of thousands of words in I was like, hold on, I’m still writing about one giant battle!  (I also suspect that during that time I wrote 2, I accounted for nearly half the traffic to thesaurus.com looking for synonyms for words like burned, destroyed, explode, shot, melted).  But WAY more satisfying than Barbara’s positive review was the idea that I got to entertain her-at least for the time it took her to read Echo-and that she was willing to reciprocate with these amazingly kind words.  Not gonna lie, gets me a little emotional!  Thank You Barbara!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Here is her very generous (probably lenient, haha!) review:

“First you must read Volume 1 of this Series before you touch this one.

Volume 2 takes you through a very short snapshot of the ending of Volume 1. If you can read them one after the other without time in between, the action flows like blood after having your head blown off. The story has such a great main character, Crusader Atriya, that you become very engaged with his next move, his next challenge and that small spark of humanity that is leaking out of him. The writing continues to flow and build on the whole concept of good-bad, wealthy-poor, wrong, wronged or how wrong can someone’s day go? The ebb and flow of the supporting characters leave you constantly wondering if the next sentence would be the end of Atriya. I love the description of the weaponry, the suits, the adversaries and the fighting. The first made me question where I was being lead and this book made me wonder just how bad he was going to suffer.

Well done Kent!”
