[Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Braknovia Forest" by J.T. McEwan.]
Braknovia Forest by J.T. McEwan was an amazingly fresh and compelling read. I loved this story from the moment I started reading until the very last page and even after that I was still hoping to find more on the next page. This book would definitely captivate a reader of any age and any skill level. It had a sort of Harry Potter undertone, which I thought was really well done.

Braknovia Forest starts off like any normal story with three siblings. They were living with foster parents after their father was murdered and their mother was in a psychiatric hospital after losing her mind (Not even recognizing her own children!). One day, strange things started to happen to James, the middle brother, when he would get angry he would feel a surge of power like he could do anything. Then, when the siblings were going out to eat they parked in an alleyway and got attacked. A strange man showed up saying they had to get to safety. They ended up in a different world, where they were told they had special powers and were part of a prophecy that ultimately leads to the restoration of a peaceful world. These three children, Hayden, James, and Isabella are part of what the prophecy calls The Three. To learn what this means and how they are supposed to save this new and different world, they go on a dangerous adventure to the oracle. What is this power they possess? Why do they have it? Why are they the ones that are supposed to restore the world to peace? Will they be able to do it?

I absolutely loved this story. The world that McEwan creates is so imaginative and so full of detail, you feel like you are actually there right alongside The Three. The storyline is so fresh and new with so much adventure. This book I feel would be a great read for anyone that likes a good adventure story, especially teenagers or Harry Potter fans would like this book.

There is nothing that I did not like about this book, which is very rare for me. I normally find something that I do not like or doesn’t work in a story. The only downfall to this novel was that I wanted to keep reading even after I finished the last page. It’s one of those books that stays in your mind until you find out what happens next. I can’t wait to find out what is to come of The Three.

I give Braknovia Forest a 4 out of 4. I could go on and on about how great this book is, but instead of me doing that I highly recommend getting this book and reading it. It definitely won’t let you down! I’ll be suggesting this book to everyone I know and even people that I don’t know for a long time!

Every word of this review means the world to me. With all my heart, thank you for your kind words. You have sincerely made my day!

Sounds good.

This book sounds absolutely fascinating and your review is fantastic!

I love it when authors create beautiful and magical worlds, it just makes the books so much easier to fall right into. This book sounds like it has a fantastic world (and it sounds like the author is a good world-builder). I will definitely have to check this book out and read it!

Thanks for the marvelous review!

The world that McEwan creates is so beautiful and magical you do fall right into the book from the very first chapter. If you like magical worlds I definitely suggest reading it! I already reread it once I loved it that much!

Good review. Sounds like a winner.

This book sounds familiar to "What came before he shot her" by Elizabeth George. It has three children, their father is dead and their mother in comma not able to recognize one of her children. However, this book is more realistic since there is drugs and violance within this three orphan children. Sadly this book ends in a tragidy and disagreed with a character throughout the novel. Compared to this novel it seems the only difference was the "magic" in this novel of course we are speaking of fantasy and "peace". However, i enjoyed reading the review c: thanks

I have read "What came before he shot her" and it is actually nothing like 'Braknovia Forest". The genre's, characters, feel and concepts are all completely different, not to mention Braknovia Forest is more of a young reader story. I actually enjoyed 'What came before he shot her' and I have enjoyed many of Elizabeth George's novels, but as a new unknown author, I believe J.T. McEwan has opened up a whole new world of possibilities in the fiction and fantasy industry. I'm waiting (impatiently, I might add) for the second instalment of McEwan's trilogy. I think Braknovia Forest will be something that many people speak of before long!

The review you described make me thinking I should want to read that book.

The words you have used make me feel good abut it.

I checked on Amazon it seems to be Book 3? Am I right?

I highly recommend reading it, but no it is the first book. It is supposedly the first of a trilogy but the second book hasn't been published yet because he is currently writing it. =)

I am definitely going to have to check out this book! Sounds really, really interesting.

Seems like a great book

Awesome review!!! I really want to check this out now!

I cant wait for the second one to be published! Suppose to be released end of next year

I love good fantasy, especially when something is done that has never been done before. Thanks for a good review and not giving too much of the plot away. A book that has nothing wrong with it sounds good and I would like to give it a try.
