Sunday update time.
Quick status report: 278 followers, 80 orders, and only 11.5 days until the 1/22 campaign end date so definitely no time to delay in
ordering.
Before we get to my weekly recommendations, I'll just point out that since a new order threshold has been hit it means I will be posting up the next section(4) of chapter 6. In this section the cliffhanger of Pentaz versus Turideas will be resolved, but the cliffhanger surrounding D'naeshira is not resolved until section 5. Keep those
orders coming in so I don't have to leave anyone hanging much longer.
Now, to get on to the reviews. Same format as last time, first a couple more of the reviews posted for
Exile, Magus, and then I recommend/review a couple of other talented authors currently funding on Inkshares.
Tabi Card, author of
Scribbles: A Collection of Words, says, "
Exile, Magus is a unique fantasy tale, giving new meaning to the word 'Epic'. As you follow the life of Pentaz, you will be treated to an intricate blend of myth and magic, sit on the edge of your seat through intense battles, and chuckle at the witty banter of the characters as they face a variety of threats. If you read fantasy, read this - I promise it will not disappoint!"
Byron Gillan, author of
The Children of the Forest, says "A cool and unique fantasy story that hooks you in immediately. The world-building is solid and the cast are interesting. I really recommend checking this book out, it's awesome and needs more support!"
"The Knight Proper" by
Adam Greven and Matt Deller: A truly haunting opening that draws you in with its raw emotion and Otherworldly magic. The incredibly well written narrative continues from there, and in the second chapter you are introduced to Cass the bard and Edwin the Knight Proper both with characterization done well enough to make you want to know everything about them. I certainly can't wait to read more of this story, so that I can truly get to know its fascinating characters and witness their travails.
"The Slave Prince" by
Jeyna Grace: The opening paints a beautiful glimpse of a wondrous land and its downfall fitting for any fairy tale, while the next two chapters weaves the narrative into excellent characterizations for the main characters so that you quickly feel invested in their lives. I'm eager to read more and find out how Thom continues to cope with his revelation, and to find out if his brotherhood with Dedric can be saved. With Jeyna's terrific narrative I'm sure that the full book will be an inspiring read that I'm impatient for.
As always my math may be off, but if its not then
"The Knight Proper" has a funding deadline around 2/9, and
"The Slave Prince" around 3/5 so don't wait too long to check out both of these fine books.
That's all I've got for tonight's recommendations. I hope I've pointed you in the direction of 2 new books which you'll order (or 3 books for those of you haven't
ordered Exile, Magus yet). I'm off to get Chapter 6 section 4 uploaded now. I hope everyone has a good night and enjoys the reading!
