I do not normally read science fiction/fantasy books, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Seedbearing Prince! Because of this book, I am now reading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I am excited about reading the next book and seeing how Dayn fairs with the seed. Thanks for writing an amazing story and opening me up to the world of science fiction/fantasy!

Great Story. Incredibly detailed. Character development is full and believable. The larger context, including history of the place and relationships between people, is also very well developed and well observed for the kind of emotional detail that fleshes out characters in the book. I had a hard time envisioning the actual universe, however, where gravity, and atmosphere were so fluid. For me that was a drawback, and I can't think of any published sic-fi work that I've read that that requires this much envisioning and faith from the reader - perhaps this is the reason this book wasn't bought by a publisher. Still, I am looking forward to reading a sequel.

I can say that I did not experience any problem with formatting, so for those that did perhaps they might want to check their devices! This is a great book, speaking as a non– professional book reader! I can not wait for the sequel and will gladly pay to read it. I did find the end abrupt however that leftme wanting more and looking forward to the next book in the series with great anticipation.

This was a terrific book, miles ahead of most of what you'll see on this site from unheralded authors.
There was a problem with the formatting of the epub I downloaded; almost every em-dash in the book had been replace with a question mark. I have to admit this took away from some of the enjoyment of the book, as I kept getting pulled out of the fictional dream to suss out what the author meant to say.
I can't imagine why the traditional publishing houses all turned this down. The only flaws were minor ones, which would have been easily caught and fixed by a professional editor. I doubt most people would even notice them. The only one that bothered me (a little) was the author's insistence in using 'alright' instead of 'all right'. Like I said--minor.
This book was as readable as anything I have read all year. I can't wait for the next volume, which I will certainly read (even if it's not free)
Bravo Mr. Sanders!

My mind keeps churning as I set down the last few pages of this book. I keep envisioning new possible scenes, imagining the interplay between well developed characters, and desiring to find out more.
The end of the novel does seem to come quickly, almost a bit rushed, it still sets the scene for a great Part II.
I had not heard of this author before stumbling over them on Smashwords, but I am eagerly awaiting any more writing that I can devour. Captivating worlds and plots continue to intrigue me even after putting the book down and moving on.
Well done!

The Seedbearing Prince is a page turning rampage through a skewed reality where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Dayn is a bright and curious farm boy trained to care for the fields, and to wield a staff. As a consequence of his own misadventures in the Dreadfall, he is thrown headlong into an escalating conflict between the worlds, and must gather his wits and his meager resources together to stay alive long enough to complete his mission.
I enjoyed the characters in this book immensely. Sanders provides just the right amount of humor and hormones to keep them vibrant and engaging. His great world building skills get free play on the many worlds Dayn visits, but it was the action scenes that kept me riveted to my seat.
There was an earlier edition of this book that was posted on this site that may have garnered the single star, but I'd rate this a solid five.

I REALLY wanted to read this book, the story captivated me. BUT, the formatting, typos, pov issues, and grammatical errors are a disaster. I stumbled and tripped through fifty-three pages, reached chapter four, closed the book and put it down – mighty disappointed.
A book I can't read to the end automatically gets a one star. Please, Mr. Sanders, clean up your prose, you have the makings of a best-seller here.
