Book Reviews:  Guardian Redeemed

I read a lot and I would like for you to know that your novel is one of the best I have read in quite some time.

I am amazed at the depth in your writing and how well you are able to draw the reader into the story.  This novel is one of those books that you do not wish to put down until you have read it from front to back. 

The love story between Warnach and Sandra is one of the most beautiful I have ever read.  The depth of their love for one another is a rare treasure and one that is not seen often but yet the story also gives us a glimpse of what could happen in future times when our world changes as I believe will happen someday.

I am looking forward to reading the next two books in the trilogy.  Thank you so much for sharing your talent with others. - R. Harper, Ohio

I loved the book and can hardly wait for the next one.  It was one of those ones that, once you start reading, you can't lay it down. I am certainly looking forward to the second book [in the trilogy].

I finished the book this weekend!  I will ask last questions first, so I can get to the meat of my message after the business is taken care of.  When do the next books come out?  Please do not say that I have to hang on, with all my questions and presumptions of possible forks in the road for Sandra and Warnach.  Surely, I can order my next read, I will be devastated if not….  That book was so enthralling and enjoyable that I am dying to know the next part of the story!  

I feel so blessed to have discovered this story, at this particular time. I truly read with objective interest and intrigue at the wonderful display of writing style.  I do know that I am very glad to have found such brilliance right here beneath my nose.  It is wonderful to be able to go straight to the source with all that wonderment and questioning excitement.

I, too, read the Turand books and immediately fell in love, not only with the story itself, but with Mrs. Valencia's style of writing. I became very emotionally involved with the characters, and had a strong sense of being able to observe what was happening first hand.

When I read Guardian Redeemed, that love of her writing continued to grow. Her exceptional talent for developing characters and scenes in the story, along with a very keen sense for just the right amount of detail, helped to create very vivid images in my mind. The feeling of "being there" to witness the story of Warnach and Sandra was just as strong and powerful as it had been with the Gregor, Alexa and Victor. I especially love the fact that, as with the Turand books, this is not just a love story but is full of drama and action as well. There are so many possibilities for where this story could go that I can't wait to see what comes next! - Janice

I was excited to see a new book from Ms. Valencia. I'm still in love with her Turand series. (By the way, Ms. Valencia, if you read this, are you taking us back to Turand? Please?) On the other hand, I got Guardian Redeemed and sucked in my breath. I love long books. Then I got a little nervous. I was afraid I''d be disappointed like I have by other writers. Could this book really do to me what Alexa, Gregor and Victor did?

I was soon reading through Guardian Redeemed and losing awareness of time. This book drags even more out of me. The characters are meticulously developed but in a way that either endears the reader or makes him/her mad, depending on who you're reading about. Either way, the story is amazing. I love the idea of connections to other worlds. I love the hints of mystery that still stick in my mind. I'm absolutely crazy about Quazon. I hope the next book in this trilogy is coming real soon. I can't wait to find out what's next after the last couple of chapters really hit my emotions and left me wanting more.

From the very first word, Guardian Redeemed captures you, draws you in, and won't let you go until the final sentence is read. A true masterpiece by one of literature's fastest rising stars!  - Debbie Alferio

Not sure which genre you're in the mood for?  No worries.  Sandra Valencia has woven them all together is one novel, Guardian Redeemed.  Her words are filled with spectacular descriptions that are nothing short of poetry.  Her characters experience drama, romance, and frantic thriller situations.  The story takes place in a science fiction/fantasy world that has metaphorical relations with the reality of our planet Earth.  -Amy Cooper
