Genre: Fantasy
I'm simply at a loss of words over this masterpiece of fantasy that A.M. Tuomala has created. The creation and time put into the world that this revolves around instantly pulled me in and caused me to turn the pages reading each as if it might be the last and leave me longing. I enjoyed that in the beginning of the story the time was taken to break down the linguistics of this story and the correct pronouncement of terms and words. I loved the pull from so many cultures that were influence into this story. To say I was impressed is the only words that I can find to express myself.
It's not often fantasy gets a rush of new blood and breath blown into it and I myself at times will say that I fall prey to sticking to the norm and being a little timid at times to step outside of a certain box but I was so glad that with this book I was not. I almost want to repeatedly thank Candlemark and Gleam for accepting Great Minds Think Aloud Literary Community to their reviewers and allowing us this chance to read the wonderful work that has been before me.
I do wish there was more about Shabane and Gamela but, I know there is only so much one can cover. The views of each characters being shown and how things unfold. Of course I'm also a fan of Zombies so I can say I was a little bias there be them the flesh eating I'm going to take your brains kind or the ones that just want to be whole again I have a little space in my heart for them all. There isn't much more I can say than to grab the readers by the shoulders and shake a little as I thrust the ebook into their view and tell them to give it a good read, try it and you may not just like it but fall completely in love.
