Selected for Review: "Asterius (Timelessness)" by Susana Imaginário.WHY IS WAS SELECTED September's review is coming out next week, but I thought I'd take the time to announce October 2025's review selection a bit early since I haven't posted for a while. The sample of "Asterius" drew me in with an original take on one of humanity's oldest tales. Susana's writing initially appears to be disciplined and well-crafted. I also didn't know this was a novella, not a full novel, when I sampled it. We'll see how complete of a story it is. READER CHALLENGE Buy it and read it along with me. Check back here on 17 October and see if my review does "Asterius" justice. Remember, this is a book curation website, not just a book review site. I don't schedule a book for review unless its been vetted enough that I feel it has significant promise. TITLE: Asterius (Timelessness) PUBLISHER: Independently Published AUTHOR: Susana Imaginário GENRE(S): Myth & Legend (multiple sub-genres) PUBLICATION DATE: 21 December 2024 AMAZON REVIEWS/RATINGS AT DISCOVERY: 14/4.7 Star Average AMAZON KINDLE RANKING AT DISCOVERY: #1,228,389 WHY IT GOT MY ATTENTION: I write about mythology, so this book caught my attention on genre alone. However, the blurb really hooked me. It was perhaps one of the shortest and most efficient blurbs I've seen on Amazon. The sample is a first person perspective of a famous Greek myth, which I assume is to refresh the reader on the story of the Minotaur. It is effectively written and clearly serves to prime the story and set up the main character, but is that character the protagonist or antagonist? A monster or a hero? I want to know more! DATE PLACED ON CANDIDATE LIST: 14 August 2025 STATUS: Scheduled for Review 17 October 2025
