Book Reviews of Tinna's Promise
Book Review: A Really Great Read!
Summary: 4 Stars
Tinna's Promise is a reality completely unto itself. The people, races, and cultures that pepper the world Miranda Mayer makes are so solid you believe it. The Araki people are vastly different from the Thran or the Nimrath, and that's what makes the book so wonderful.
It's a very female empowering story. Tinna, part Gypsy, part Thran has not only been raised in an Amazon-like culture, but breaks free from it to roam, explore, and experience new things. Unlike many books I've read where the heroine only says she's self-sufficient - Tinna shows that she really, truly is.
Rhoa, the young woman who slowly grows up, is a sweet contrast from the mature Tinna. And what I really liked was that Taneth, Tinna's counterpart, was masculine, but not a violent man. His responsibilities as Wiseman in the village of Thamatoch are just as interesting as Tinna's adventures, and his quest of being part of a community a noble one.
