Soulkeeper
by David Dalglish
Soulkeeper is a book which exceeded my expectations. I expected a light fun read with a guy hunting monsters and boy was i wrong and I was happy to be.
Soulkeeper is a story about a world where magic has returned to the world but all the monsters have also returned. Its the perfect description for the book. We follow our main character Devin Eveson who is a Soulkeeper, travelling through remote villages as a preacher and healer and what happens when a dragon awakens - the size of a mountain and leaving great chasms in its wake - the veil is torn, flooding the land with ancient magic and forgotten races.
“This world is much too hard and cruel to endure alone. From the first day the Sisters gave us life, we were meant to love and support one another. Sadly that basic tenet of our existence is also the hardest to keep.”
It started slow but gradually I was interested in the world a lot the history how magic is affecting them. We also have different factions like Mindkeeper and Faithkeeper. We also get to see a talking faerie and firekin which I need more of in the sequels. The other characters Tommy (a gay wizard), Jacaranda(a soulless who got her soul back) who is my fav so far and Adria (a Mindkeeper and Devin sister)were all compelling and interesting. the whole history and the past of the dragons was so interesting.
“I have studied history extensively, Tommy. Any force for good, if capable of evil, will inevitably be used for evil. It’s just the nature of humanity.”
Also this book is dark we do follow a murderer. Its not too descriptive but there is body gore and blood. The action scenes were good too I love how different weapons are in this era.
My only small gripe is i wish it was more morally grey like some kind of inner conflict where characters dont want to save the world bcoz of how shitty humanity is. I have heard I will get this in the second and Im excited for it.
“What we do, from the smallest of daily actions to the once-in-a-lifetime decisions, it shapes us, defines us. We choose who we are, and who we want to be. The Sisters granted us a soul to forever remember those choices, and to fill those eternal memories with compassion, love, and joy. We are light from the stars brought to earth, and so I do my best to shine in the time I am given.”
Overall its a great read I recommend it to everyone who is tired of same old fantasy and want more creatures in his book.
