The BookViral Review:

An original and intriguing exploration of the High Fantasy genre, Landsfor: Discoveries and Revelations is the first release in Bansal’s Landsfor Series and by any stretch of the imagination, it proves to be a strong start. 

With a style of writing that’s both engaging and stimulating Bansal delivers an edgy narrative with unfolding events that feel wholly unique to the fantasy setting he has built. 

There are lashings of intrigue and rivalry which combine to deliver an addictive edge-of-your-seat pleasure that keeps the pages turning, but the undeniable allure of Bansal’s novel is to be found in his characters. 

Through a multi-layered plot and smart dialogue, he repeatedly succeeds in hijacking readers’ expectations as he develops the deteriorating relationships between demi gods King Dymondo and his wayward brothers Shilathaar and Grygerious with readers assured of many dark and dramatic twists. 

But a good read in any genre must go beyond its primary protagonists and this is where Bansal once again comes into his own with a host of engaging auxiliary characters like Mysteria, Lance Sterferep and beguiling assassin Oromi creating a rich tapestry of players that loom large in the imagination and are hard to forget. Most importantly he does this without losing sight of the grander adventure at hand!

Refreshingly Bansal doesn’t rely on quintessential tropes, but by playing true to the genre he taps into grandiose emotions like loyalty, treachery and love whilst ably managing to avoid the prescriptive travelogue style that far too fantasy novels still fall back on. 

A strong and imaginative start to what could shape up to be an epic series Landsfor: Discoveries and Revelations is a strongly recommended read for fans of the High Fantasy genre.
