I have read the book "Legacy of Foggy Village", indeed was a great story with full of imaginations. When I was reading the book, seems like it brings back my childhood memories where in there are full of adventures. The story is great, good plot. In some point also I can relate to the attitude of the character being brave to be able to survive life’s journey. Kudos to the author of the book Ms. Zezoon Alnaqbi. Hope you will write more stories and I’m encouraging you to continue writing because you have a great potential to be a good writer.
