At this time, when the world is watching in disbelief the shocking tragedy unfolding in Gaza, Dr. Michael's riveting novel, KANTARA, draws the public to an unprecedented insightful historical perspective of this age-old conflict.Shanesha Sammerson wrote: ↑30 Jul 2023, 14:06 [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Kantara" by Mary and Stephen Weller.]
Kantara by Mary and Stephen Weller is a thrilling sci-fi adventure that takes readers on an extraordinary journey through time. The story revolves around Keiji, who is unexpectedly transported from the twenty-first century to the second age by a mysterious voice called the doctor. Tasked with finding a scroll, Keiji finds himself in the company of an intriguing 226-year-old woman named Hazi, with whom he quickly forms a deep bond.
The authors have masterfully crafted a captivating narrative filled with suspense and excitement. As Keiji and Hazi venture forth, they are met with unforeseen challenges, including being captured by soldiers. Hazi, who has broken the law, must prove herself by facing a giant in a life-or-death battle. However, as events unfold, Keiji realizes that the doctor's initial instructions didn't reveal the full truth about the perilous world he now inhabits—an apocalypse-ravaged land where dragons, soldiers, and giants form an unlikely alliance to combat the reptilians and other unknown races waging war against them.
The dynamic character development is a strong point in Kantara. Keiji's evolution from an ordinary man to a courageous adventurer is enthralling, and Hazi's enigmatic nature keeps readers guessing throughout the story. The authors deftly weave emotions into the plot, making readers genuinely care about the fate of the characters and their quests.
The world-building in this book is simply outstanding. The post-apocalyptic setting is vividly portrayed, and the intricate details of the various races and alliances add depth to the story. The inclusion of dragons brings an element of fantasy to the sci-fi backdrop, enriching the reading experience with a sense of wonder.
The pacing of the book is well-balanced, keeping the reader engaged from the first page to the last. The action sequences are intense and adrenaline-pumping, while the quieter moments allow for reflection and further exploration of the characters' motivations.
Regarding the editing, Kantara shines as a professionally crafted work. The presence of only one minor error is a testament to the authors' commitment to delivering a polished manuscript. The novel had no aspects to dislike.
In conclusion, Kantara is a must-read for science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts alike. The gripping plot, well-developed characters, and immersive world-building make it a standout novel in the genre. Without a doubt, this book deserves a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. There is simply nothing to dislike about Kantara, as it offers an unforgettable journey filled with adventure, courage, and unexpected alliances. If you're looking for a thrilling escape into a world of time-traveling quests and fantastical beings, Kantara is the book for you.
