Our previous blog
post was about the value and importance of beta readers. Here’s a
post that picks up on that theme a bit, with an example of a
beta reader’s input, in the form of a review of Kati 2 (written by
Ken, one of our key beta readers, who kindly supplied it to us for
this blog post). Note that we had various forms of input from all of
our beta reviewers throughout the process of writing and editing the
novel, including Ken - this is his summing up of the book:
Kati of Terra
Book Two: On Assignment To The Planet Of The Exalted
Novel written by
Helena Puumala
This is a science
fiction that deals with the unacceptable practices of slavery and
abuse occurring on the planet Vultaire(the planet of the exalted).
Vultaire is a world dominated by a small group of powerful clans
known as the exalted. These clans have maintained complete control
over their populations for centuries and corruption is rampant in the
ruling classes.
Kati uncovers
child abuse involving a Vultarian couple that have traveled to the
Lamanian world that she is living on. She uses her considerable
influence to request an investigation into suspected slavery and
other abuses on the planet Vultaire.
A commission is
set up to investigate conditions on the planet of the exalted and
Kati and her team are sent in to gather information and work with the
locals to bring about the changes needed to end the rule of tyranny.
The exalted are
an especially nasty lot so Kati and her team face danger often. The
story is full of intrigue and that is what makes this book well worth
reading.
