Written by Tom Barczak, Awakening Evarun is an ongoing fantasy serial novel.  The story revolves around a man named Talus who is attempting to survive and escape Galadash, a city ruined by powerful and cruel dragon-riding wizards.  As Talus runs, the wizards continue to close in and soon he realizes that escape is no longer an option.  Here are my thoughts on Awakening Evarun Part I;Pros+ Grim, gritty and foreboding world.+ Intriguing story quickly draws you in and leaves you wanting more.+ Extremely descriptive and well-written.+ Author provides hand drawn illustrations.Cons- The word cenotaph is used a bit too often.- Installments are too short and a bit expensive ($2.99) for an average of 14-15 pages.  Prime Members can read for free however. Unfortunately, I'm not one or I'd continue the series.- Story jumps around a bit too much for its length.- Slight Christian overtones.  This is just my opinion.Awakening Evarun Part I was engaging and impressive despite its brevity.  The author's descriptive writing skills and ability to draw you into the story so quickly demonstrates a rare talent many writers never seem to develop.  If you're a Prime Member of Amazon and can read this short chapters for free then I highly recommend them.  If not just be forewarned that spending $2.99 will only get you about 20 minutes of reading.  Other than that a great start to the series.
