The subtitles that the author included at the top of each chapter were helpful, in my opinion. They assisted a reader in knowing which character(s) were under discussion. That said, I concur that the writing technique was not only new for me as well, but also an exceptional one.ankit252 wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 07:09 This book gripped me from the beginning. The build up was slow. But Tysz switched between different characters, showing different perspectives. The style of narration was new for me. I had a feeling that Galen was the sole narrator who recorded works of others (although after reading other books in the series, this is probably not the case).
I loved the air of mystery and subtle hints that something was not going right. The only issue I had with this book was that Galen and his friends had no part in the big picture, and also the fact that it ended too quickly. But as a series-starter, the book set an intriguing premise. I gave it 4 stars on my review.

- Latest Review: Was Jesus a Liberal or a Conservative? by Dan van der Wolf
I'm still astonished how quite a number of people termed the book "professionally edited"; yet, I personally detected more that eight grammatical errors. Nevertheless, I concur with the fact that the introduction part of the publication was captivating.aaurba wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 04:46 I gave this book a perfect rating. It was professionally edited, and I had only one issue with it. I didn't like the fact that Galen only had little to no effect in the major conflict; however, it is understandable since the book this serves as an introduction to the series and focuses on world-building and character development. I also extremely enjoyed reading the first few pages of the novel. The beginning is entrancing. I am extremely awed by the author's captivating writing.

- Latest Review: Final Act by Van Fleisher
We are introduced to this world of magic and fantasy through the protagonist Galen Bray. Watching Galen learn his way around the magnificent and terrifying kingdom of Voulhire was beautiful. The king facing internal and external conflicts, a mage named Meldorath, his dark past, and the confusing magical world of Caromentis kept me hooked to this story. Amidst this, Galen and his two new friends brought a much needed comic relief.
Tysz did a great job with his clean and simple writing style. This book was a thriller and am definitely recommending it to everyone!
