Dark fantasy novel Flaming Dove received two new reviews.

Book reviewer Misty Baker of KindleObsessed.com gave Flaming Dove five stars. Here are quotes from her review:

"Having read (and reviewed) Arenson’s work before I was almost certain I would enjoy it. I am no stranger to fantasy (duh) and Arenson (more than most) has a genuinely unique way of storytelling, but even with the expected rapture, the quick reading, and unwillingness to put my Kindle down what I didn’t expect was to: gasp, sigh, grit my teeth, cuss my Kindle and cry.

This was not just a story about an emotionally lost half-breed girl. It’s was more than epic battles and avenging angels. It was the discovery of ones self, the inner battle between good and evil. It was about accepting our fates, understanding our future, and blazing our own paths to happiness… regardless of our ancestry. This was a story about choosing your own way of life.

Now... I’m sure your next question is 'Misty, how in the hell can you wrap all of that up in 294 pages?' and to that I say 'It’s simple.' Perfectly executed inner dialogue. Off the charts characterization, and battles so intense that even the smallest of deaths left a dent in the reader’s armor. If there were flaws I failed to notice. If there were holes, I must have taken a different path, because to me... Flaming Dove is what a fantasy novel should strive to be."

Author Debra Martin also reviewed Flaming Dove on her book review blog. Here is a quote from her review:

"Without spoiling the ending, I will say that the climax is exciting and unexpected. Everything you want in a novel. This book is a fun read, but on a deeper level it makes you think--nothing is purely black or white, good or evil, it’s much more complicated than that. It takes a talented author to make you ponder these things long after you finish the book. I highly recommend Flaming Dove and look forward to reading more books by Mr. Arenson."
