Other reviews have said it, and I must agree that the imagery in this book is absolutely wonderful. Several times when reading I could practically smell or taste the action that was happening, and many times I cringed in reading a description. I Also really loved the ending. The last 30% or so was absolutely phenomenal. I struggled with the first half, mainly because of it's length, but I read the last 30% without stopping, and barely noticed that about 7 hours had passed.
What I Didn't Like:
The length. It truly is epic- in content and length. Probably this wouldn't have hit me so bad if I had a paper copy, but as I was reading an e-book, it messed with my mind when I'd read 3 chapters, and the corner of my e-book says I've only read 2-3% of the book. Having finished it, I can see what good all those words did for the story, and I think if I'd been warned even that would have helped, but to go in blindly the length of the book was a tad overwhelming.
My Overall Review:
(4 of 5 Stars) Epic- In Many More Ways Than One
Ian Alexander has definitely penned an epic fantasy that fans of The Chronicles of Narnia will absolutely love. The imagery is rich and descriptive, and the story itself takes place in a foreign land with kings and queens and fantastical creatures. If you can think of anything that would make something "epic"- Dragons, phoenixes, fights to the death.. this story has it. Honestly, I would have made it a 5-star, but the length just was too much for me. Again, you have all been warned so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you.
