Book review:
- Dreams of a reaver (Smaller novella, book 0,5)
- A knife’s edge
By Matthew Wolf
I was gifted these AudioBooks in exhange for a review.
The first is a short novella that gives you a better understanding of the backround to one of the main charachters.
This was very interesting and helped during my listen on "A Knife`s edge".
The knife’s Edge was a very good fantasy book. If you like adventures like the hobbit, LOTR and the shannara chronicles this is definitly a story for you.
It really reminded me of the writing style of Terry Brooks.
The narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds was really good and his reading style really fits this story.
And the story i would clasify as adventure/ high fantasy.
The story follows "Grey", which does not know his past. He suddenly appered in a forest where he meets the a loner who takes him in.
Slowly the plot thickens and we get to know more around the world building, the legends that come alive and the quest where Grey is destined to play a part.
He needs to bring the destined sword who has choosen him to the dark gates.
On his travels he meets and gets strong friendships and gets plenty of enemies.
Old legends come back to life and maybe the stories heard from childhood is not so true after all. Maybe the enemies turn out to be the heroes?
On his journeys Grey learns more about his background and his magic abilities.
And yes, there are also dragons! and other magical beings in this story.
I love how this book with its major plot is only the start of this book series.
The plot in the book is wrapped up really well in this book, but we get smaller details that starts a new adventure.
I am looking forward to continuing with the next book in the series.
The author has also written a third book which came out yesterday.
If you, like me enjoy a good adventure with charachter driven plots, destinies to unfold and magic, dragons and mythical beings, this is a story you should check out.
All books are on audible :D
