Legends Lost Tesnayr

Legends Lost Tesnayr by Nova Rose

In a prequel to Legends Lost Amborese, we read of the story of Tesnayr.  A man who was trying to escape his previous life and rid the land of those who had tortured him.

Unfortunately for him, the sea did not claim him.  He washed up on shore and was rescued and brought back to health.  He helped those who had helped him, but always remained quiet about his past.  With the passage of time, those who had tormented him came to the new land.

In an effort to never be taken captive again, he began another battle with the Orcs, gathering followers everywhere he went.  His reputation preceded him no matter where he went.  The kings of the five kingdoms, who had always fought among each other in order to gain land, needed to put the feuds behind them and follow Tesnayr if they were to win the battle against the Orcs and keep their land.

Along the way are elves, fairies, dragons and others, along with an entire cast of characters to suit your mood, some evil, some good.  Follow along Tesnayr and all the lands he travels, written in great detail that you can imagine yourself with him, throughout all the lands and adventures.  Although written in three books, it could have easily been just one.  The chapters flowed nicely, the plot always moving forward.  If you like fantasy, you will like this.

What I Did

What I Did by Christopher Wakling

Written through the eyes of a six year old boy, who is well educated and mannered.  He know how to greet someone properly, but like a typical six year old, immediately changes his thoughts and may start talking about dinosaurs.  Also typical to a six year old, not everything a child hears is what they think they hear, for example, a nuclear threat becomes a new clear threat.

What I Did is the story of what happens to Billy when he runs into the street and what happens to those around him, his family, his teachers, etc, and how others view the series of events.

Very well written, even though there are no chapters.  The story flows nicely.  Humor through the eyes of a child and heart felt through the eyes of adults.  A must read for all.

Raised As An Angel

Raised As An Angel by Gary J McCleary

Michael could never understand why he would have glimpses of other lives in bits and pieces.  He wanted to become one of the Guardians, the highly advanced Beings, after much studying.  Jonathon, the most senior Guardian, would only explain what he felt was necessary at the time.

Henry, who was once called Mike, had changed his name after he fled to Australia due to certain circumstances.  He too could not understand why he felt a closeness to Michael, even so far as to experience certain aspects of his life.

John, who some called “The Preacher”, although he did not like that title, was one who wanted people to understand their true need-one of love, not materials possessions.

Although this had great potential, I felt it dragged on.  I also do not like a long run on story.  This was written in 3 sections, Part I, Part II and the Epilogue.  No chapters for any type of break.  In addition, the Kindle version did not convert well from the written form, the page numbers of the written work were mixed in with the text of the Kindle version.  While it took a while to understand the characters and how they became what they are, it was a good story, albeit a bit long and drawn out.
