Avim’s Oath Recieves Top Review

Lynda Williams’ novel Avim’s Oath, number 6 in the Okal Rel Saga, received a 3/4 in the review by Ronald Hore of CM Magazine. Hore recommended the series for grades 8 and up (ages 13 and over).

Calling it “pure Space Opera, with spaceships that travel faster than light, and arguments that are settled by swordplay,” Hore incisively focuses on the emotional content centered on choices surrounding roles and reproductive options for the two brothers, Amel and Erien.

Also featured is the importance of the two young women in Avim’s Oath who face their own tough choices about roles and sex: the rustic Princess Samanda O’Pearl, struggling to recover from a status-upset back home, and the virginal 16-year-old Princess Luthan at the apex of the love triangle between Erien and Amel. While acknowledging the setting of the Okal Rel Saga might be a bit of work for someone starting with Avim’s Oath (part 6), Hore concluded: “if they stick with it, they will find themselves in a tale of adventure and romance.”
