Interesting and skewedThe author is obviously well-educated, which made this book a decent read; however, there was the obvious slant and not-well-veiled skew against the western power, the United States

New information on an old subjectThe author used terms that I'd never heard before, such as paraverbal signals and proxemics.
One of the better books to readI like it when an author cares enough to really do their best work: grammar, punctuation, character development/interaction, realistic dialogue.
Uniquely DoneI would have named this The Six Elemental Powers, but that's just me.
Not a bad book, but......there were some things that really annoyed me when I was reading it.
Weird Writing StyleFirst, the formatting in which the dialogue is part of the paragraphs.
Eye OpeningThis book is 372 pages in length, 31 of those pages are References alone with 21 additional pages in the Appendixes with even more information.
Reminiscent of YargoYargo was a book written decades ago about a woman who gets transported to an alien world and ends up changing their world inadvertently and, yes, there's the love story angle also.
Nothing To ItThe writing was good, with the occasional misspelled word, or missing word.
Example: "...have to up and down the stairs...". I was fine reading this until......the author decided to parallel his character, Josefa, with Jesus.
