At the time, I was focused on checking it for minor typos; thus, it was kind of hard to let myself get absorbed in the story. I remember some elements of the story that made it highly amusing. I think there is potential for world\/universe-building here and for more stories. That being said, I plan on reading this story again since it&#8217;s in its finalized version, and then spending some time on a proper review (and maybe come up with some more story ideas to throw the author&#8217;s way; I&#8217;m working on writing my first novel now and would like to write one with Nathaniel). I gave this novel 3 out of 5 stars for now pending a proper review (the rating might go up; I gave this novel at least a 3 also to avoid accusations of being a biased reviewer because I personally know the author; hence my needing to do a proper review) and also as a way to let people know they just might want to read this story. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/193558014\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<div name=\"googleone_share_1\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;\"><g:plusone size=\"medium\" count=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.brigidsflame.com\/feymorgaina\/blog\/?p=1533\"><\/g:plusone><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourwar by Nathaniel Simpson My rating: 3 of 5 stars Being a close friend of the author, I first read this novel when it was in an early draft.
