Great Characters and World Building

The Man of Twists and Turns is an exciting look into the world of Nathal. The author’s skill of creating such sympathetic characters and a story world in which one wants to fully immerse themselves within is phenomenal. Immediately, you are hooked as the story opens with the pirate king seeking a siren. As the story develops, it becomes evident the pirate king, the main character, is not what he appears to be nor what he lets many believe. There’s layers and depth that is often difficult to achieve in shorter stories, but Anne J. Hill does this well, with the narrator skillfully bringing it all to life. There is a clear beginning, middle, and end but I did find myself craving more—looking forward to reading more set in this world and the author’s novel release when it is ready!
