Child of the Daystar By: Bryce O'Connor
My rating: ★★★★★
( I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review )
It's been a long time since I read a high fantasy book, I'm not sure why I strayed away from them but Child of the Daystar have rekindled my love for it.
This is a must read book, the writing is smooth, solid and the tone draws you into a masterful rich world. I could picture everything clearly like I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. I was pulled so deep into this world that before I knew it the story was over and I was left wanting more.
This story is not only unique it is original. I don't believe I have ever read anything like it. Not even on the manga side of the house were their high fantasy is always left field. The world building, the story telling, the characters, all are masterfully done. If this book is not on then best seller list, then humanity is lost to me.
There's no shortage of blood splattering action, right out of the gate we are trusted into this eat or be eaten world. I was a little shocked at first, but that didn't last long, I like it when the author doesn't spear on the gory details.
There is also the emotional side of the house, my heart was connected and at times I was holding my breath, at one point I think my heart stopped. It is a wonder how a fictional story can do that, how an author can cause such a reaction with words. There are times when I get annoyed while reading, either with the why it is written or the why a particular stance is written. I felt non of that while reading this marvel, and it was refreshing. There are no many books that are so much alike that it's a chore to find something not only original but good.
I highly recommend this book, as I have my been raving, it is nothing like you have ever read. You will be trapped from the first words, and you will not be able to put this book down.
I would like to thank the Author Bryce O'Connor for choosing me to be on his review team. It was a outstanding experience and one I would glade repeat.
Happy Reading
