This book is action-filled fantasy with a complex and rich detailed world filled with different creatures and characters. Unfortunately, I found the cover of this story to be the most beautiful, lyrical and evocative part of the book. I didn't like the author's prose style, purely a subjective, personal taste issue that shouldn't affect your read. Normally I avail myself of the Amazon "Click to look inside..." feature, but somehow I failed to do so with this book.The author is a good writer; I just don't like the type of prose that they write:"The chill wind beat ruthlessly at Bunejab's face, forcing back the cowl of his cloak, as he held tightly to the immense animal beneath him. Just ahead, lay the Trui'Quirre mountains, their majestic silhouette blocking the sun following its daily trajectory down into the watery horizon of the Balderian Sea. Although the flight across the Realm had been exhilerating, it was much shorter than he had expected and he didn't want it to end."~Prologue, The Return (The Legend of teh Raie'Chaelia, Book 3)Truth be told, those first three sentences bored me to bits, and made me not want to read the rest of the book. That said, fantasy fans may LOVE this book. The author is obviously a good writer who has put a great deal of care and, probably, great love into writing a Fantasy series. Other people seem to love the story, and you may also. At $2.99, this book is obviously a steal. Happy reading~*
