Kismet's Gate by S.X. Cummings
"Good read enjoyed the well written characters.
Not a huge fan of romantic fantasy novels.

Great storytelling from a great storyteller" Read more of this review »
Kismet's Gate by S.X. Cummings
"The emotional depth of the characters amazed me. There are moments filled with rich, layered meaning.
There’s something mesmerizing about how the story unfolds; it’s like peeling back silk, slow and deliberate, yet always revealing something deeper.
