Book Review: Pyre
I exchanged ebook links with a few other self-published authors during and after a webinar on sales and marketing. Here is one of those reviews.
A Tale of Two Kingdoms
This is an entertaining epic fantasy novel with a large cast of characters and jaw-dropping plot twists. Ultimately the plot all ties together.
I enjoy the vivid details — of clothing, scenery, architecture, decor, and people. Especially the details of emotions.
Jenora and Sare are my favorite characters. I took an instant disliking toward High Chamberlain Waldon.
It’s brave for a writer to make likeable characters suffer. Sare’s curse is terrifying… but brave of the writers (and of course Sare is extremely brave). I rather like the twist of… the beautiful princess is a jerk, and the “ugly” princess is beautiful inside.
I like the foreboding chapter that mostly shows the dreams of various characters. It’s surreal and doesn’t give away what’s going to happen but… symbolizes oncoming events.
Violet & Steampunk Boy, my favorite book (volume 3) in my middle grade fantasy series Rowanwick Witches (and the ebook I exchanged for the above review), is available here:
