Daeios: 140 Feet Down by Colleen Eccles Penor
4.0
I received a complimentary copy of Daeios: 140 Feet Down from the author, and am leaving an honest review.
A first-class debut novel. Well crafted. Gritty and at times hard-hitting. Believable. Periodically interspersed with sudden surprises, twists and turns that maintained a suitable pace throughout! As an editor and proofreader, I was automatically tuned to detect any errors but found none in the 300+ pages of Colleen Eccles Penor's book. This comes as no surprise when one reads that the author ensured her manuscript was read by both alpha, beta and critique partner readers and that she commissioned (or was gladly offered) comments, advice and practical support from many other people to ensure the final product was "top-shelf."
I commend the author on what was a most entertaining dystopian journey! Fiction is never far from a living, breathing reality, as you will discover by reading this book. Certainly worth reading multiple times. And, excellent jacket art!
