SUMMARY: When a mortally wounded dragon is found by 18 year old Tharill Gruaige and his uncle, the question arises, is it a simple matter of out-laws trophy hunting or something more sinister?
The BookViral Review: Genre – Mythology & Folk Tales
Alchemy and magic are the least of Tharill’s problems in a race to save the dragons of Whidley Island!
The first in an intended series of novels from MacRury Saving The Dragons taps into our continued fascination with Dragon lore whilst bringing a refreshing new perspective which is free of trite clichés. But with far too many fantasy reads wallowing in unnecessary complexity, MacRury only lingers in detail long enough to establish a sense of time and place.
Avoiding the drudgery of predictableness with timely twists and revelations there is however a distinctly satisfying meticulousness with which she has approached her world-building. Her backdrops are well-conceived and there is an economy to her prose which keeps them light whilst she weaves a delightful web of intrigue that will appeal to readers of all ages.
Drawing on Celtic influences there is certainly plenty of magic, which is well observed, but it’s thematic and not imperative as it’s MacRury’s characters that ultimately drive the plot. Characters that are thoughtfully introduced to bring depth and complexity to her tale with her young protagonists Tharill and the enigmatic Reesa proving immediately endearing.
A delightful fantasy read which is sure to appeal to readers of Mythology & Folk Tales Saving The Dragons is strongly recommended.
Ignition 2084 is an angry beast with a crazy collide-o-scope plot that bristles with intelligence. A kinetic combination of visual style, amazingly detailed characterizations and original combat tech in ‘Hanzo Gear’ and the Reikiken “Aura Sword” that practically jumps off the page!
Thought provoking and tender, Maksimow’s debut novel explores the very serious subject of abuse and the challenges faced by estranged parents in a read that’s sure to have you hooked from the start.
It is an inescapable fact that Language is always changing, evolving, and adapting to the needs of successive generations. It’s the way of evolution and as long as the needs of language users continue to change, so will the language.
The explosion in self-publishing and the subsequent success of self-published authors has certainly turned the publishing industry on its head.
Never before has the voice of social commentary in literature sung higher. Freedom of speech has brought with it a cacophony of loudly spoken, written and sometimes harshly promoted opinion and judgement.
A good memoir, told well with a modicum of literary prowess, builds an emotional bridge to its author.
