I'm tempted to find out whether the curse was broken and the princess freed. It's a captivating plot! I'll keep the book in mind.

Rocky Ellery James Tumbelaka did a great review of The Lost Keep by Charles Embrey Jr.

Rocky gives a summary of the plot of this fantasy novel's story and the main characters, while pointing out the questions that will keep the reader in suspense.

Rocky states that the way the author described each character was unique for each and that they were memorable while keeping Rocky as a reader very emotional. Rocky congratulates the author on creating such vivid characters.

Rocky gave The Lost Keep a rating of 5 out of 5 . A very good rating indeed!

I've always been a fan of ancient kingdom related stories. They teaches a lot of moral lessons. Also people that love history will find it amazing as well.

Good review. You highlighted the most exciting parts of this seemingly intriguing story. I would have loved to know how Clovis and his friends intend to break the curse, magic or physical might.

This book falls into a genre of which I'm not very fond. However, Mr. Embrey Jr. has a fine writing style. I enjoyed and appreciated his synopsis at the beginning of the book about the Titans and the origins of the Greek gods. With such a fine style, I'm certain that readers of fantasy novels will heartily enjoy this one.

Post by iamsdhamudia »

The plot may not be entirely original, but it still manages to capture my attention. It's a fantasy tale of a princess who is cursed, a kingdom that is lost, a quest that must be undertaken, and a group of heroes who are unlikely allies. It has a classic feel to it, and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds. The review has clearly explained all the characters and summarised the book. It is a helpful review for someone like me who is an enthusiastic reader.

It does sound like a theme that has been explored by many in the past: a princess who is kept captive, several failed attempts to save her and a hero who experiences lots of adventures in his quest to rescue her. With lots of action, magic and interesting characters, it's sure to appeal to lovers of the genre.

Thank you for your review.

I’m not a big fan of high fantasy adventure quest type books, but this seems to be an intriguing and generally well written one for those who are fans of books of the kind.

Great story indeed! It sounds interesting I would like to read it so I can get all the answers I need. I would like to know if they managed to rescue the princess or they also failed? And I would like to get full information as to why the princess was cursed and how she survived all those years in there. If ever they found her ,was she still alive?

It was an amazing well write history, no very new for me, cause the drama is kind of familiar as a fairy tale, but definitely much more excite thanks to the details drama include, about the kingdom, and their characters, thirst for power and maintain their lineage in the monarchy. It's a fantasy story with so much details expressed to the imagination allowing you to experience it in real time. I would definitely recommend the book to all audiences, especially those lovers of fantasies and fiction and to those people who by telling it, develop an exact scenario, allowing this story to be taken to theaters today.

A fantasy and adventure filled book "The Lost Keep" by Charles Embrey Jr, which follows a cursed keep and the lost kingdom of Zahn and the king’s daughter, Princess Abigail. This book appears to be entertaining to me.
