Cassan Astor and the Desert Empress now finally has some reviews on its Amazon page.
After Pax Egyptus: Tales of Gods, Kingdoms, and Starships got so much praise in such a short period of time, I was worried when Desert Empress didn’t seem to be following the same path. But alas, all I had to do was wait. After all, readers cannot be expected to review something instantaneously, and reading a book takes time.
As with Pax Egytpus, the first reviews for Desert Empress seem to be coming in about a month after the release. Pax Egyptus, which was only released in April, is now at 23 reviews on Amazon, with a 4.4 rating, with most of its reviews coming in May. All of its reviews are either 4 or 5 stars. Desert Empress, meanwhile, only has two reviews, but they came in three days apart, which leads me to expect more soon in the coming days. Like Pax Egyptus, the reviews are 4 and 5 stars – in this case, one each.
Interestingly, the written comments on the book seem to be contradictory. One reviewer suggests that the characters were not fleshed out enough, saying, “I wish each main character is more consistently developed throughout the story,” while the other review says the opposite, saying, “[The] storylines have been well-developed and fleshed out. Especially, the character Hasani.”
Still, criticism or not, 4 stars is good! Let’s hope 4 is as low as it goes. This bodes well for future reviews (hopefully!).
