Into the Wildbarrens by Christian Sterling

4.0

The Gems of Elsana: Into the Wildbarrens is er wonderful book. At first glance it looks like a classic fantasy and you might think “I’ve seen this before”. But soon you see that Christian Sterling has taken a classic setting and made it his own. Here we get the story of the wizard and how he becomes the powerful being we know so well. The world is even more fantastical than I imagined it would be with both familiarities and twists. The worldbuilding is great. The characters are lovely. We get to know all of them as they get to know each other on their journey. I am looking forward to see what they will learn and experience on the rest of their quest. All in all it is a magical read for all ages and I highly recommend it. Big thanks to Christian Sterling for sending me his book. It’s release date is July 17th.
