The BookViral Review:
Tales of Dragons have been capturing the imaginations of readers young and old for hundreds of years. Fantasy stories that stoke the imagination. Tales that lead to dreams of fanciful flight and fiery breath and it’s this magic that Blair brings to life in Dragons In The Clouds.
A novella of epic proportions. Blair taps into our continued fascination with Dragon lore whilst bringing a refreshing new perspective that is free of trite clichés. But with far too many fantasy reads wallowing in unnecessary complexity, Blair only lingers in detail long enough to establish a sense of time and place. Thereby maintaining an all-important element of suspense and sense of magical intrigue.
Avoiding the drudgery of predictableness with timely twists and revelations there is however a distinctly satisfying meticulousness with which he has developed his narrative. His backdrops are well-conceived and there is an economy to his prose that keeps them light whilst introducing us to a colourful and eclectic mix of characters that will appeal to readers of all ages.
It is these characters that ultimately drive the plot. From David and Rago to Sir Solomon and Merlinius, Blair’s characters are thoughtfully introduced to bring depth to his tale with young David and Rago proving immediately endearing.
A timeless and delightful fantasy read with particular appeal to YA Fantasy readers, Dragons In The Clouds is strongly recommended.
A delightfully dark revenge fest that comfortably sits between righteous delight and quivering revulsion Bolton gives his readers a kinetic, adrenalized feast for the psyche that’s bursting with startling images that keeps you reading when you’d rather not!
A mischievously clever and slickly humorous sci-fi comedy novel The Alas League saga continues with The Lost Ark with Falardeau delivering fun and reflection in equal measure as he gently tweaks the fanaticism of science fiction while at the same time validating it.
Definitions differ as to what constitutes a ‘genuine’ historical novel and when the term ’historical novel’ might properly be used. More importantly it begs the question as to What Makes Bestselling Historical Fiction Novels.
It’s a question that’s courted more than a little controversy over the years, but there’s a significant difference between paying for a book review with no influence over the resulting review and paying for a review that is guaranteed to be overwhelmingly favourable,
Whilst there is undoubted value in considering historical context, not least because past forces, individuals and trends both shape the present and provide valuable lessons for our future decisions, is historical fiction of any value?
The best you can bring to the reading adventure is your imagination, sense of humor, and your love of reading. Playing with a child with ASD can be enjoyable and enlightening. That playtime is also fertile ground for planting the seeds of reading.
