View BookSettings were rich with details. The characters interesting and well developed. There was always action, arrows flying, swords flashing, heroes in trouble, and saved in the nick of time. The subplot of lost love found was lovely. If you want to be transported to a different world this is a great vehicle.
I really enjoyed this fantasy novel. Good characters, lots of action and an effort by the writer to explore deeper metaphysical themes. Nice job!
...lovely, rich, poetic language. Behind all the fantasy tropes, there is a deeper metaphysical reality and truth which shine through. Is it afterlife, like in The Riverworld? Is it the man's subconscious? Does his wife symbolize his soul? This novel does transport the reader to another world, which is more than can be said for most books.
...deceptively, elegantly and hauntingly written, a tale that echoes quietly in the mind after the end, like a favourite song.
I've worked across a spectrum of jobs ranging from farmwork to software engineering to starting and running a bookstore.
A restless spirit in childhood led me to the secluded cache of occult books in the local library, which in turn kicked off a lifelong interest in the supernatural and psychology.
In this world of chaos, cruelty, deceit, and downright madness I am obsessed with the search for meaning in the midst of suffering. I write poetry and speculative fiction to that end.
