The idea of The Trials of Uwe Parts I II and III is good. Steven Masia combined magic, mysticism, and mythical creatures in one book. The messages that Steven Masia sends to readers about life and emotions are promising. The Trials of Uwe Parts I II and III is about Uwe, who trained from his childhood to take his role as a wizard when the moment comes. But no matter how well trained he is, he still finds himself in insurmountable problems, which give him the next step of his training.

The Trials of Uwe Parts I II and III give a good impression by the massages in the story. Most of all, it has so much more actions than usual that will keep you interested. Many actions and magic as also creatures and mythical beings give the tense and pushing the story forward. Steven Masia combined all mythical creatures, which gives the story, a different aspect of view, making it with more actions.

In my opinion, The Trials of Uwe Parts I II and III start promising from the beginning, but soon after, the main plot changed by the way too many mythical creatures spoil the whole meaning of the story? Some of the characters are presented but do not participate in the story, which isn’t very convincing. The feel is like missing something from the big picture. Some magical parts and circumstances were way overrated and uninteresting. The book is self-edited, which is a little disappointing because writing mistakes make it hard to read.

The Trials of Uwe Parts I II and III would be perfect reading for people who like magic, elves, space, demons, and mystical creatures. I can rate this book 2 out of 4. In my mind, I can’t give more or less to this book because it can’t meet my requirements for it. Some parts are just added by default to length the story. The plot was good, but way too many added myths. They did not make any point; they are superfluous. But I still liked the messages and the story in this book. It is enjoyable for fantasy reading. Due to some intimate parts and used phrases in the book, I can recommend it for readers of a range above 12 years old. If you find this book attractive, and you like a lot of progress with magical creatures and wizards, my advice to you would be; Read it and enjoy the story while you see yourself from the point of the main character.

I was wondering about the title of this book. It sounds like Uwe has a lot to learn--and learns a lot! Thank you for your thorough review! :balloon:

Thank you for responding to this review, and I hope to present reviews better and more effectively in the future. Because it's not an easy job to engage people with your writing, and many writers struggle to do it. Many self-published writers face the challenge of captivating readers, so I hope to convey the best of each story and present it to future readers. Every story deserves a reader. Thank you!
