Critiques

The Spirit of Bambatse


(5 stars)

Well read, absorbing story with evil personified psychologically and with many harsships, trials and tribulations with a good dose of mysticism included before a satisfying end with an underlying romantic thread throughout. Recommended:)

a well read and well written novel
