Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

Editorial = 4.5

Set in Hiroshima, Japan, during World War Two, In the Realm of Ash and Sorrow tells the story of an American bombardier, Micah, who is killed while on a military mission. His spirit remains in Japan and takes an interest in a young Japanese woman and her child, burdening him with guilt as he witnesses the suffering he helped to bring upon the people he used to hate.

This novel is a success on many fronts. The setting is beautifully and artistically described, the characters are extremely well-developed, and the quality of the writing is outstanding. It also skillfully explores the subject of the dark and disturbing effects of war and the historical significance of Hiroshima, while teaching the reader much about the culture and customs of Japan. The manuscript was submitted as historical fiction, but the author delivers said history through a paranormal lens and wraps it in a love story as a further enticement.

Sublime Line: “An exceptional World War Two story, set in Japan, that gives the reader a complete package of spectacular descriptions, history, romance, and the paranormal.”
