Praise

Spellbinding and Breathtaking. [...] Akiana's unique narrative style is a departure from the conventional, immersing readers in a tapestry of deep poetry and a breathtaking landscape painted with words. [...] Her novel is not just a story; it's an immersive experience that invites readers to explore the depths of their own souls.

[...] her words have a timeless quality that transcends the boundaries of the modern novel. This debut work is a poetic masterpiece that not only captivates the imagination but also leaves a lasting imprint on the reader's spirit, making it a must-read for those seeking a literary journey into the profound and the beautiful.

This book has touched some of the most intimate and delicate chords at the depths of my heart and soul. And it shook me to my core. [...] It has become one of my all-time favourites!

The love story is oh-so fiercely romantic and deliciously sensuous and rooted in so much authenticity and truth. [...] A Love that anchors the Divine here on Earth and bursts like a supernova of Love and Light changing the world forever.

This book is not just a read, it’s an experience that speaks to the core of your being, delights your senses and nourishes your soul, [...] and reminds you of what joy there is to be had from being alive.

[...] I felt truly sucked into a deep emotional whirlpool but enjoyed it thoroughly. Sin was my favourite character hands down, and I think without spoiling anything it’s because he leaves himself so wide open and vulnerable and I adored how devoted he was, he really took it to the highest level.

I don’t believe I’ll ever read another book like this, it was truly unique and I mean it in the best way. If you’re on the fence about this book, please don’t sit on this. It’s worth the read.

Poetic and primal.

Sparkling, deep prose. Magical cauldron of words.

Beautiful, inspirational, and indeed, powerful.

This book was a lot more than I expected.

The summary absolutely drew me in but once I actually started reading the book, I was kind of blown away. It was a whole emotional and spiritual journey reading through this. One that I in no way expected. [...]
When it came to the relationship between the two main characters, that was an inspiring adventure itself. I feel like there are a lot of underlying meanings throughout this book.

I strongly recommend it if you are looking to go on an emotional journey that grips you and plays on all of your heartstrings.

[...] It's brilliant, beautiful, and profound. A fantasy so real that it speaks deep truth. I'm in awe.

To be honest when I started this book I had a hard time clicking with it [...] I am so glad I continued and I’m having a very hard time with it being a stand alone and not the start of a series. [...] I felt so much with this book there needs to be more to the story.

This is a book that has left my heart and soul jubilating with joy and sobbing rivers of tears. The world Mera Akiana has created - so very close to the world we know and yet so very far away - is overflowingly beautiful, as is her style of writing. Lost in the pages, I was carried far away from the here and now into a world and culture so much kinder, more loving, balanced, peaceful and vibrant. A world to long for and carry in your heart. [...]

Mera Akiana’s incredibly poetic and melodious writing pulls you in, her words paint so much detail into the pictures arising on your journey through the pages. Without a doubt Bond and Song has made it into my selection of favourites.
