Review: Fantasy you can believe in.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 8, 2013
This is a fantasy you can actually believe in, with real and honest characters in real and honest relationships.  There were times I wanted to strangle people, there were times I felt pity for them, making for a very truthful form of storytelling.  I honestly was curious as to how the book would end and where people would end up in their lives, once their quest was over.There were some areas in the book where I either missed information or where the story was honestly a little confusing and occasionally the sentence structure wasn't arranged the way I would have preferred, but such things weren't too noticeable..  There were also some areas where I felt that a character was making a decision based on what the author expected of them, but overall the setting and the characters involved made for some very good storytelling.  I would be interested to know where the series continues from here and would hope that the same honesty of life that is given to this book is given to the others.Note: Though this book was a free gift from the author, the content of my review was in no way influenced by the gifting. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it. I also give bonus points for Text To Speech enabling on Kindle format.... but that also wasn't a factor in the above review.
