5 Stars for
Betrayal of the Covenant
Don’t Miss This One!!
Read more...As intricately woven as Martin’s “Game of Thrones” and mystically enchanting as Rawling’s “Harry Potter”, Peter Cruikshank’s first novel is an amazing read. His style is so clear and the characters so real that I felt I was reading in living color. It is an encompassing tale of magic,and majesty, of dragons and adventure, that has a magnetic grip on the reader. It left me anxiously awaiting the sequel, a feeling I haven’t experienced since Jean Auel’s “Clan of the Cave Bear.”
Best Thing I Have Read in a Very Long Time
Read more...I couldn’t wait for the 2nd book to come out and it did not disappoint!! There were some surprising twists that were outstanding. It is seldom that I am shocked by a story line as you can usually guess what is going to happen. But I have to say that this book really kept me on my toes. It was vivid and had a great plot. I can’t wait for the third one. The author did an incredible and amazing job of really bringing you into the realm of the twins.
Enchanting YA Fantasy
Read more...A very well-paced medieval fantasy. Complicated, well developed characters. A coming of age story that focus around the characters destinies. The world was well built and believable. Grand adventure, intrigue, magic, and secrets. It held all your favorite fantasy types dwarfs, elves, magic workers, dragons and goddesses. It was a long read, but well worth your time if you enjoy epic fantasy e.g. Tolkien or even Terry Brooks type style epic fantasy. It definitely leaves you wanting to read the next leg of the saga for the series. Looking forward to reading more.
Well Worth the Wait
Read more...Having read the first book, I was very excited for the second.
I was a bit impatient, but it was well worth the wait.
The transition from first to second book was flawless.
Although, I’ve never been big on battles, this was written in such a manner that it wasn’t offensive or ‘draggy’. It was enjoyable riding along as the twins begin to mature. The characters have become more real and more liked, as well as, disliked. It was a wonderful way to introduce us to the dragons! Mr. Cruikshank is a truly gifted writer and beings life to his characters and to the story. Alas, I now have to try and contain my patience for installment #3. I will look forward to greeting my Covenant friends! ( soon, I hope ? )
A very well written, engaging, traditional fantasy novel.
Read more...Don’t let the cover fool you! I write that first because I am not a fan of this style of cover art!
However, “Fire of the Covenant” is a very well written, traditional epic fantasy! There is something in here for every reader of fantasy to enjoy – action, adventure, battles, magical creatures…even a smattering of romance. The novel is well structured, and moves at a good pace. The action scenes are engrossing and the dialogue convincing. What I want when I read a fantasy novel is to be transported from the hum drum world around me and entertained.
If a book does this and I can visualise it as I read, then I am happy. “Fire of the Covenant” delivered all this! I look forward to the sequel.
Anticipating Volume 2
Read more...This was the kind of book I didn’t want to put down. I found myself having to finish the chapter before I would. I liked the way the author was able to paint a picture without droning on and on with way to many unnecessary words, I appreciate the concise way this book is written.
There is much excitement from start to finish. If you enjoy wizards, dragons and elves, mixed with evil priests this novel is a perfect choice.
I recommend this novel whole heartedly.
