Book Title: Rys Rising Author: Tracy Falbe Published By: Brave Luck Books Recommened Age: Mature 16+ Reviewed By: Maegan Morin Blog Reviewed For: Great Minds Think Aloud Rating: 5 Ravens
Upon first starting this novel I was a little skeptical. I have literally read hundreds of fantasy novels but never any by an indie author and I was worried that I would be dissappointed. Luckily my worried thoughts were in vain. Rys Rising is a wonderful novel where the author brings the world to life through such great detail that it paints pictures in your head so you dont even feel like your reading anymore but watching the movie play out. The characters are well defined and you feel a strong connection to them as the story progresses. The author took great care to be explain exactly what each character was doing and what led them down the path they chose. I found myself lost in the land of Gyhwen and it was very hard to put the book down. With characters ranging from a Chief who loses his tribe and family in a brutal massacre, to a young rys who wishes nothing more than a position of honor in a world that doesnt want him it all held me captivated. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy. I would put the reading age of this book at a mature 16+. There are scenes of violence (but not alot of gore), as well as some mild romantic scenes. However I think that the romantic scenes will probably increase in amount in the rest of the series. I give this book 5 Ravens and I can't wait to read more!!
