People were highly recommending it - that not strange, but what was strange was who was recommending it. I had heard it referenced on a number of podcasts I listen to, a couple of blogs that I read. This book had been on my radar for a while. LinkI want to tell you about a book I’m reading.I loved the feeling it gave me and the idea of inspiring others so much that I kept writing until I had an entire series.įollow him on

As an adult I took on a dare and wrote the first book in my Talisman Series. In my formative years, I joined several punk rock bands and wrote songs, poetry, and short stories aplenty. These include The Chronicles of Narnia, The Xanth Novels, The Time Quintet, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and everything from Shakespeare to Dr. My background in writing stems mostly from the inspiration I found as a kid when I read Fantasy and Sci-Fi books. I have a feeling there’ll be more of her and also that hooded figure whom I think is still her.Īnyway more will be unraveled in the next Installment because YES! There’s a book 2! I’m so excited to start reading it.ĪBOUT THE AUTHOR Somethings off about her especially at the end when said emphasized on “realm”. Another character I dislike is definitely that teacher. I don’t even understand how that guy also has sorta powers.

Unlike Julian’s annoying father who was surprisingly everywhere. I just know he has a family but don’t get to read them. There isn’t a single dialogue with them in it. I however think it’ll be nice to read about Rome’s parents and friends. The book gave me major Harry Potter-ish vibes probably because it’s a fantasy as well. I love both their characters, Rome a normal boy trying to find answers and the hilarious attitude of Julian. It was a fun read too, reading about all the monsters and how #theduo fights them. I love the simplicity of all the characters. The most shocking thing is that both he and Julian both have to save the world. At last, Rome agrees and they visit a sort of Master who tells Rome that he is a special person and has powers. Apparently he knows the reason Rome is doing all these crazy things.

With his eyes! Like what?!Ī fellow schoolmate Julian has seen it all and over the next few days tries to explain to Rome. He becomes restless, and all of a sudden burns his neighbour’s yard. Just a regular boy going to a high school in Georgia. From the first chapter the MC Rome could be understood. It started slowly, a bit of characterization in place. Much thanks to Brett Salter for this wonderful arc copy. I’m amazed by how the book was written, everything about it from start to finish.
