While I’m not an extreme fan of the writing style of this novel, I truly enjoyed the topic of the story…it was a bit different from most fantasy tales that I’ve read, and I enjoyed the romance that was cleverly mixed into the action. Admittedly, when I first started reading, or actually more like after I read the description on Amazon, I was pretty confident that the main character Cyrus’s Soulyte would be some kind of dragon or other inhuman creature that would take the form of a spirit or a mythical creature. However, when I found out that it was actually a damsel…or, at the very least, what it appeared to be, I found myself hooked onto the story, since that was something I was totally not expecting. Surprises are a great way to get someone interested in a story, apparently.As for the writing style, yes, I thought it was a bit elementary on a certain level, but it seemed to improve as the story went on. The prologue contained an overwhelming amount of information, but it was very interesting, and was a nice lead into the tale of Journey into the Forest.
