"Lonnie Ezell introduces heroic fantasy fans into a brand new fantasy world reminiscent of the worlds of Jennifer Roberson and Melanie Rawn. The characters are well written and have depth, like Elena who possesses powers thought evil by most people, and who resists using them except in the most dire of circumstances. The world feels familiar and yet fresh, with magic and politics which, when woven together, provide an urgent and Byzantine plot that races along. This is not a book that will disappoint.

"I found myself taking what I call the dollar fifty cent tour (as opposed to thedollar tour). This means I didn’t only absorb the words but stepped into your book. A tribute to your writing ability because not all authors can do that. I was in the village, in camp, in the tent with the children, on horseback, falling off cliffs, and even using the Breath at times.

"I found myself much like the kid in the Never Ending Story….closing the book to hear the horses come to a halt or swords stop clashing. Was absolutely awesome to have the feeling constantly while doing something else, that I had left some friends awaiting me on the nightstand. And as I could steal a moment, crashing on the bed to hurry and help them proceed on their quest.

"I loved it! I loved it! I loved it! So much of what you wrote translated into what life is about. Honesty, betrayal, love, disappointment, cleverness, adventure! To truly live life and absorb its potential is to have the BREATH….we all have that ability! Thanks for using yours to encourage the rest of us!

"This book pulls you in like your lungs pull in air. This book should come with a caution on it that says once you pop it open you can't stop yourself from reading it. The most wonderful thing about this book is the pictures that Mr. Ezell paints with his words. I could almost here the boots on the stone paths of Harts Haven and smell the wax in Elena's shop. The characters come alive and make you care about their well being. You want the best for them and at times I could feel myself almost willing the story along, trying to help them on their journey. It has been many years since a book has caused my heart to race and this book did it more than once. If you are looking for a fantasy book to pull you in and to wrap its reality around yours, then this is the book for you.

"Before I say anything else about this book, let me warn you. This book grabs your attention like a lock jawed pit bull, and refuses to let go. It has been said that this book is NOT disposable fiction, and to that I can add my backing. With a familiar fantasy world feel, we immediately identify with the characters. Even if that means we don't have to like their motives. The power hungry duke, the fallen from grace hero, the reluctant heroine, the scared child. All are characters you may be familiar with, but they have rarely been as vivid as they are here. Most fantasy novels take one hero and focus nearly exclusively on them, and if the book doesn't we feel cheated. That wasn't the case here. Each and every character comes around slowly as you get to know them. I know that I can ramble in my reviews sometimes, but there are cases where it is deserved. I refuse to spoil any of the story for anyone wanting to read this. It should be held in your hands and experienced firsthand.

"Of all the fantasy/romance genre, this podcast was the best. It started out fast (unlike many), developed several very complex and neat characters, and finished with fireworks.

"Okay, I just happen to think this book would make a great movie! As I worked, I was totally visualizing the enviornment on a cinematic screen. When I first started listening, I thought the pace a little slow. I took a break and listened to some other stuff, then came back to the story and and discovered I couldn't put it down.

"So far this is one of my favorite books I've found here on PodioBooks. I am down to the last four episodes and I can't wait to find out what happens.

"Daughter of the Sun, by Lonnie Ezell, is worth reading. It's not your average, throw-away fantasy novel.

"I just finished Daughter of the Sun this afternoon. Thank you so much for writing such an entertaining story. The characters were/are amazing and writing style made them come to life. You definitely helped me pass many hours of complete boredom at work. I will definitely be buying a copy from Amazon.com to read; I expect it will be even better the second time. Thank you again and I look foreword to your future writings.
