A review by michaeljohnhalseartistry
The Destined Bond: A Mystics of V'nairia Novella by J.C. Ritchie

5.0

This is my first little dive into J.C. Ritchie's fantasy world, and I have to say I was not disappointed. Ritchie weaves together an action-packed and highly driven story with interesting and unique characters with their own desires, pain, and motives. In particular Ritchie's well written action sequences and battle scenes were a highlight of the novel, I was very impressed with how the scenes played out, and how effective the writing was at grabbing my attention. In my own writing, action has always been something I've quickly forced my way through (much to my editor's irritation), in favour of dialogue and character interaction, but Ritchie has a strong grasp on writing action, and after reading this novella I'm only more interested and excited about diving into the main novels of his Mystics of V'nairia series.
