❝This story was really good. The characters were really relatable and the way we saw them develop through the story in different ways was stunningly executed. It's hard to do so only with one character, and in this you had two! I'm really impressed by that. The world you had built up for this story was also really good and you would believe this was a real published book if you didn't know you were reading on Wattpad. ❞
~ 07_Kitten (review from the Brownie Awards, first place Fantasy)
❝Absolutely stunned by your storytelling ability.... The touches of purple prose, wording/descriptions, imagery, and lore made for the most enjoyable aspects. Your story exceeded all expectations and deserves all future success you may enjoy from it!❞
∽ TheStoryScholar (review from The Wonder Awards, first place Action and Adventure)
❝The story is quite unique and I've never read a story like this. Sure there are stories with elves and fairies and dark magic wielders, but you took it to a whole new level. Reading your story felt like reading an actual printed book from the bookstore. ❞ ~Dark_Ghostie
❝This story is one of the best fantasies I've read. Loved the character development for Ether, Ronan, and Rami. I was rooting for Rami and Ether's relationship. The twists in the story blew my mind...❞ ~Carlos_G_Peralta
❝It just made me remember all over again why I love fantasy and it's the first young adult novel I've read and it made me realize how much more better YA Fiction is than Teen fic. I love every description. You have done lovely job writing it. ❞ ~Maisha4
❝Overall, this book has been a great read so far, however there are two factors that I believe really make it stand out. First, the prose is beautiful. The author manages to capture imagery through description and detail without being overly wordy or hard to follow. This is especially difficult in first person writing, which the author has a solid grasp on. Second, the world building is amazing. Every part of Arioch's history and culture appears so thought out. The setting the author has created feels unique, but still manages to fit in well within the fantasy genre as a whole. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy stories with rich worlds and fleshed out characters. I'm looking forward to more updates.❞

I am endlessly grateful to the judges and reviewers who have taken a look at The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince and to those who continue to support it. Thank you for reading this first draft, before any developmental edits have been made, and for giving it your love and attention. You're all true rockstars, and it means the world to me that my writing has been recognized on this scale.
