"On the Trail of the Unseen" took me on a captivating journey filled with mystery and deep human connections. The author's skillful storytelling and multiple viewpoints kept me engrossed, while the exploration of relationships touched my heart. Despite the slow start, the suspenseful narrative and well-crafted prose left me yearning for more. I eagerly await the next installment.

We occasionally need to put our differences aside to work toward a common objective, just as in many human encounters. I think they encountered comparable circumstances on Nico's trek north with his family. This book is perfect for adventure lovers.
As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will always exist.

This would be an interesting fantasy novel. A kingdom with plague and everyone wanting to flee to the North which happens to be plague-free. I wonder why the North is not affected and how they will find a cure.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy following Nico, a veteran, who is attempting to flee with his family to the north to escape a seemingly incurable disease. The only issue is that his past sins may come back to haunt him. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out how the characters will survive the mysterious plague besieging the kingdom, frustrating them due to its seeming loss of cure. I like mystery and suspense books and this one is right up my alley.

I'm just getting to know about this book and I think it's one of the books that appeals to me.
As someone in the health line, I'm curious to know what plague it was and the cure if there was any.
Nice review!

I noticed the author was stingy with giving details of sexual encounters. There were scenes that I could swear that intercourse was imminent. Time after time, the author burst my bubbles with what happened afterward. I was confused between getting mad at her for messing with my head and praising her for keeping the narrative suspenseful. The latter, however, was my final resort.
That's a fantastic way of describing the feeling that good narrative tension creates. :D
I don't feel like reading about another plague with Covid being such a recent event, but I enjoyed your review.

A fantasy novel that is not focusing on magic but on human relationship. I do enjoy stories that are told from multiple viewpoints. And this book can be read as a stand-alone. But I'll take the advice to start with the book 1. I wanna know why the north is plague-free. Thank you for a compelling review.

I love a good fantasy fiction novel, and I think that I would enjoy this book. I would not read it before reading the first two books, though. I prefer to read series books in order.

'Official Review: On the Trail of the Unseen' by Lynne Armstrong-Jones is a useful and complete view of the science fiction story of the book for readers. It provides the readers with an overall idea of the book. The point that reading about the best and worst of human behavior in the fantasy genre was fascinating is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the author's use of multiple viewpoints was well structured and connected is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the author's medieval writing style was admirable!

This is the third book in a series, which seems to be a story style that I like. I would like to start reading it from the beginning.

I like that the preamble is about unlikely alliances, because that's where the best adventures come from!

I will definitely read this book, thanks for your review.

I'm not an ardent reader of fictional novels. I'll gladly pass this on to lovers of it. Notwithstanding, the suspense in it fascinated me. Congratulations on the book of the day.

As the third book in the series, I think that the intro doesn't give enough to create an instant connection to the story and characters. I would be interested in looking at the first in the series.
