My Two 5-Star Reviews from Readers’ Favorite for Karrin: Warrior Woman

Whenever I publish a new book, I always send it to Readers’ Favorite for 3 Express Reviews.  That way I get a feel for how readers will react to my story.  I’ve never received a Hattrick (three 5-stars in a row), but I think those would almost be impossible to get.  But I did snag two out of the three.  YAY!!!  

As stated in reviews for my other three books in the Excalibur Saga series, each story can be read as a stand-alone.  If you haven’t given them a try, Why Not?  They are in Kindle Unlimited so you can read them free if you’re a member. And Amazon usually gives you a 30-day free trial anyway.  A win-win for all.

I like my science fiction to be less technically driven and more emotionally driven. Karrin is just such a character-driven story. Sahara Foley has written a tale of adventure, love, and survival that transcends the setting of science fiction. The author introduces some weird and wonderful creatures into her world but always underlying everything is the deep love and affection between the characters, despite their many physical and emotional differences. I think I was particularly drawn to this story as it used the notion of panspermia (seeding of life) as one of the basic precepts of the story. I love the idea that perhaps all life in the universe has originally come from some powerful, supreme race that has seeded the galaxies and created many diverse and fascinating life-forms – humanity included. I particularly loved the relationships developed and nurtured in this story, especially between former enemies and also between races seemingly so different yet still capable of feeling powerful and abiding love for each other. I haven’t read any of the earlier books in this series but that wasn’t necessary. The author was extremely adept at dropping gems of information into the narrative that explained what had gone before and why a character now reacted the way he/she did. This was a wonderful read and one I can highly recommend, not only to all science fiction fans but also to a wider audience. Ultimately it is a beautiful love story that happens to be set among the glories of the universe.

Karrin: Warrior Woman is the fourth book in the Excalibur Saga by Sahara Foley, an enthralling science fiction story with a protagonist that is well-sculpted and multidimensional. Karrin, an eighteen-year-old girl, is abandoned on an alien planet with a weird companion, Brownie, a two-tailed creature she has known during difficult times when she lost Lurga. When she discovers a spaceship, thanks to the help of Brownie, she learns that the contract on her life is still active. But what is worse, the merciless Calen has launched a fleet to kill her. In another world, Karrin is the only one who can save them from imminent destruction. Can she defend herself against an insidious enemy without her psychic powers?

I love narratives that are transporting and I love it even more when an author makes me feel that worlds exist when they don’t and Sahara Foley is just so good at the game. First, she creates a compelling, multidimensional protagonist and thrusts her into a very harsh world, devoid of her powers. She has to use meager resources to survive and the reader follows her courage and mental state, watching out for what happens to her next. The plot is complex and it moves at a fast pace. The conflict is multifaceted and it helps fuel the tension that moves the story to a satisfying end. There is a lot to enjoy in this book: the great writing, the fascinating narrative voice, and the wonderful characters. An engaging story that kept me reading for hours.

And, the 4-star Reviewed By K.J. Simmill

Karrin: Warrior Woman is book four in Sahara Foley’s Excalibur Saga. Whilst I haven’t read the previous books, I found it easy to pick up and understand as most of the important details are explained throughout the narrative, with enough left out to ensure intrigue for anyone not having read the first parts. Sahara Fey writes in the third person which easily enhances the flow and voice of the story. Karrin and Lurga are good central characters and their exchanges, along with the addition of new characters, struggles, and complications, make for an interesting read. There has been a lot of attention paid to the settings, as well as creating unique and enjoyable magic, plot, and characters. Action and adventure collide with a reunion of lost love and family where the price of success is almost as great a burden as a failure.
