Reviews from Pro Review Services
"A beautifully crafted historical fantasy, this novel fearlessly explores questions of mortality, the afterlife, and destiny. The story is at once deceptively light and compellingly philosophical, gently pulling the reader into a reflection on life’s deepest struggles. This unique take on the role of life and death in civilization is a thought-provoking, challenging, and poignant addition to any fantasy reader’s library."

RECOMMENDED
by the US Review
"a gripping historical adventure laced with eerie speculation and moral depth. What initially seems like a fascinating anthropological discovery quickly spirals into a confrontation with destiny itself.
A genre-defying novel that challenges the boundaries of knowledge, colonialism, and mortality, and I’d certainly recommend it to readers who like their adventures smart, strange, and unforgettable."
"There's so much to like in this story. The premise, when you think about it, is quite chilling: nobody much likes to dwell on their death. But Harju-Autti's treatment of it is rather kind and gentle, even as it goes through the negatives as well as the positives in a society where everyone knows the date of their own death. It's an inquiring story in which readers are invited to think for themselves rather than one in which the author has already decided how things will or should be."

by the BookBag
"A thought-provoking story that examines the concepts of life and death. The book highlights the value of time and emphasizes the importance of cherishing moments with family and friends. While we are fortunate to live in a world that allows for creativity, we are also burdened by the anxiety surrounding death. This book combines elements of romance, adventure, philosophy, and family.
I truly enjoyed reading it."
"A philosophical and visionary work of fantasy. This fantastical story allows readers to slowly submerge into the surreal premise of the tale, while the themes being explored are heady and fascinating.
How would an awareness of mortality change our perspectives on purpose and connection? Is a daily reminder of life’s sacred and transient nature truly a curse at all?"
A novel that is simultaneously elegant and impactful for young and old readers alike."
"A beautifully written story that explores themes of culture, exploration, and mortality. It takes readers on a captivating adventure and introduces dynamic characters whose lives are interwoven. The relationship between Julius and Peter transcends that of a typical father and son. I highly recommend this book for its insightful and meaningful message about cherishing time and life."

There’s a little something for everyone. Lovers of historical fiction steeped in mythology shouldn’t miss this one. It’s a triumph. Dive in now!

That is rare."
Lari Vaartio, Software engineer
"This story resonates on multiple levels: it is a captivating tale, yet at the same time, a subtle exploration of the significance of presence, the impact of thoughts on reality, and the immense power of love.
Rarely does a book manage to be both entertaining and evoke such deep self-reflection long after reading."

About
As a writer, I guess I'm supposed to tell here something about myself. But hey, it's all about the story, not about the writer. Moreover, I don't identify myself much as a writer.
​
We all have our superpowers. Skills that make us a little bit out of ordinary. Bigger or smaller gifts that we were born with. And whenever you become aware of your superpower, you better nurture that gift well and do something good.​ I have always been good at working with dreams and understood deeply their value for personal development and beyond. So, this realm is where the LoveVortex books are all coming from.

Dear reader, would be lovely if you would share your thoughts a bit after reading. You can do it either in Goodreads or in Amazon book reviews or just by emailing me.
