No Way Back – The Underworlds by Dennis Scheel (Book Review #285)

No way back is a science fiction fantasy novel written about Daniel and Denida. As they experiment creating an ancient gate, Daniel passes through the gate. Denida realizes that his son has now disappeared, he follows through in order to save him from whatever there may be, on the other side. What they both realize is that they have traveled into another world and that it is just the beginning of many other discoveries. As they try to exit the world, thinking they are going back to where they were, both notice that they have now entered a different world. Things begin to become even more complicated as now they aren’t sure how to get back to their own world and why everyone seems to know them.

At first, I felt that the storyline was rushed. Almost immediately, the gate is created, and Dan is trapped on the other side. It is only after a long period of time, where you get some backstory or any indication of how this whole thing came to be about.

I enjoyed the storyline and the character interaction between Daniel and Denida. There is a sweet connection between the two, and the subtext of the content has a humorous touch to it. This made the story to be more appealing. The literature was strong. However, I did notice some editing issues, especially in the first chapter.

I believe anyone that enjoys reading science fiction novels and storylines that involve world traveling will thoroughly enjoy this book.

Gustave Flaubert: The Ambiguity of Imagination by Giuseppe Cafiero (Book Review #425)

The Ambiguity of Imagination is a meta literature story. It is written about Harel-bey, a character in one of Monsieur Bouvard’s stories which happens to come alive taking revenge on all the other protagonists, the author has written.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It is probably the second time where I read something similar to this concept. Here, Harel is upset about the author writing a novel which he never finished, leaving him as an incomplete character.

One thing is for sure, the literature was strong, and I believe that if the reader is not familiar with the author’s writing, then they would find it difficult to follow through. The author creates strong characters that each work on its own, presenting a convincing hold on to the storyline. The workflows well, and the piece comes together with a much-delighted ending.

At first, the work may puzzle you. However, after reading a few more pages, you reach an unsuspected depth of emotional turmoil risen from the storyline. This amazing concept innovates your mind and creates this delightful experience which a book should consequently make you feel after reading it.

I recommend this book to people that like stories that are out of their ordinary context.

On the Wing (Talon 2) by Gigi Sedlmayer (Book Review #270)

On the wing is the second book of the Talon series. In the previous book, we learn that Matica suffers from an illness that prevents her from growing. Her physical form is about the size of a two-year-old, but mentally she is 9. Her parents move from Australia to Peru where this little girl has to face discrimination and abuse from the Peruvian Indians. They see her as evil and refuse to have her near the other children.

 

Things have changed after the birds become Matica’s wings. People in the village are more receptive towards her, and even her parents are becoming acceptable towards the situation. The adventure continues with the beautiful picturesque descriptive nature of the author’s writing, producing this wonderful book of self-discovery and love for animals. This fantasy world has nothing short of being an incredible tale of a little girl and her journey with these birds.

 

Come Fly with Me (Talon #1) by Gigi Sedlmayer

 

I thoroughly enjoyed Matica growing and reading about her encounters with the people of the village. I believe the character development is spot on with this tale and that makes this story very special to read. These birds really change her life, and it is lovely to see the effect of how it influences Matica’s confidence and belief in herself.


I recommend this book to young adult readers, bird lovers and fantasy fans.

Codex of Darkness (Tenets of Exile Book 2) by E. P. Stein (Book Review #424)

Following the first book titled Codex of Light,” this fantasy series continues with the Codex of darkness. It was understood that Dallet was on a mission to carry a Codex in shape of a book with powers. He and his friends now have acquired this power and have to deal with the after-effects of it. Both are unsure yet as to what to do, and Dallet continues to be the main character in this exciting story.

The complexity of the novel continued to impress me with the lyrical storytelling and descriptive nature of the fantasy. The principle character remained exciting and refreshing.

I believe the author decided to remain on the same path as book one and added more backstory with the additional storyline. The narrative was strong and included exciting magical abilities. I recommend this book to young adult readers and metaphysical visionaries.

Purchasing the two books together would actually benefit the reader in this case, as you really do not want to wait to see what happens after you have read the first book.

Flight for Life (Talon #3) by Gigi Sedlmayer (Book Review #271)

Flight for life is the third book of the Talon series. In the previous book, we learn that Matica suffers from an illness that prevents her from growing.

Come Fly with Me (Talon #1) by Gigi Sedlmayer

In the third book, Matica has to decide to travel with her father for supplies. The trip to Cajamarca means that she has to say goodbye to her birds, temporarily. Aikon, Matica’s brother, also shines in the third book. He also loves animals and has a chicken friend named Elsa. Matica and her father encounter many exciting incidents while they pass through and back from the forest, creating this epic tale of adventure. Matica is once again, fantastic with her personality continuously growing and maturing.

 

The literature is very well written. The content has a nice pace and flow to it. There are no sudden jumps or annoying twists of tales making you wonder where that originated from. The author remains to produce quality stories that are inspirational and beautiful to read.

I recommend this book to young adult readers, bird lovers and fantasy fans.

C3 (46. Ascending) by Sherrie Cronin (Book Review #423)

C3 is the fourth book of its series. The story is about a teenage girl from Texas. She possesses some powers that are uncontrollable. When a stranger offers her a chance to be more than what she is, the opportunity is hard to pass.

Human trafficking is taking place, and the protagonist wishes to save her missing friends. With the help of a stranger, she accepts his challenge and displays her powers taking revenge on everyone who derived it.

I found the story to be very interesting to read. The concept was great. However, there were moments when I was a little confused. The plot was intriguing, and the mystical aspects of the work were described well. I sometimes had to re-read certain parts to understand what exactly had happened. This did not take away much from experience but, it could have been avoidable.

Another interesting aspect of this book was that it focused on the mental issue of human trafficking. This made the sexual or physical aspect of the encounter to be lessened and more suitable for all ages.

I recommend this book to people that care about educating girls from developing countries.
