Why read it?

1 author picked Protectors as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The world has its defined structure and the characters within it are believable, even if not all likable. It’s a complex series and yet is simple in its reading; compelling at the very least.

From Julie's list on independent authors building worlds.
