Fated Volition by A.L. Meinhold

[ray315200]

Fated Volition: The Sapphire Star Saga has all the elements of a classic sword and sorcery novel. There is a prophecy meant to help save the kingdom from the darkest magic. There are wizards, witches, sorcerers, and magical creatures aplenty. All of the classics are here, even dragons, but what I like most about Fated Volition is the symmetry. Five sisters from five mothers all born on the same night, all beautiful, and all blessed with a different raw elemental power. They are fated to go their separate ways but will come together on that dark day they are needed. A.L. Meinhold gives us more than enough tantalizing threads then weaves them all together into a beautiful tapestry that I think will become a classic one day.

If you like quest tales and dire prophecies and all the traditional elements that accompany them then A.L. Meinhold has written the book for you. The writing is spot on, as is the portrait of medieval life and politics. Fated Volition takes nothing for granted. The Sapphire Star Saga is carefully and artistically laid out character by character, scene by scene, situation by situation, driving you to read just a few more pages tonight, until you suddenly realize it time to go to work. Do yourself a favor and start it on a Friday night. This tale of five fated sisters is just too exciting to begin when you don’t have enough time to enjoy it. Both Old and young adults alike will enjoy The Sapphire Star Saga.
