Thanks for the thorough review. Given the somber tone, I think I will pass on this one as I would be more interested in the dragons rather than large scale battles.
Interested in books that help one's spirit move beyond the ordinary.

Latest Review: Gaslighting & Narcissistic Abuse Recovery: by Don Barlow

This book sounds like another great addition to the annals of Epic Fantasy. I'm intrigued by the fact that this book delivers both on the action front and even a little bit of humor. I may have to check this one out.

While I haven’t actually seen the spelling errors myself, based on the uniquely spelled names you can just consider those to be the canonical way those words are spelt within the world of the book lol.

This book sounds awesome, and I'd already be reading it if it had been free like most are.

I love tales of magic, but I feel that too many grammar and spelling mistakes are in all books nowadays. When I was younger there were barely any!!!

I really like this genre, I love dragons too. I don't mind the errors, I can appreciate how difficult a book like this is to write. I hope the author can get them fixed though. Thank you for the wonderful review!

Books that are based a lot on dragons, normally do not sound that intriguing to me. But this sounds like a great read, your review was very insightful and showed how much the book impacted you. I appreciate your feedback and hope to enjoy it just as much.

This book seems like a great fantasy for fans of a song of ice and fire series, even if it's over 600 pages. I personally don't like epic fantasy and the fact that there's no map probably would have had me confused. Too bad about the errors... but great job on the review!

I am glad you enjoyed the book, but it doesn't sound like a book for me.

This sounds like a long book that simply isn’t for me. I’m glad you found so much to like about it though. Thanks for the insightful review!

Although the plot of Jon Franklyn's The Carbynarah Chronicles appear interesting, however, themes such as Wizardry, magic and dragons are not some of my favourites.

War using magic spells. Your review is thorough, I am not into Sci-fiction. Though I have enjoyed reading your review and the sample. I have now discovered why I had difficulties in understanding the sample. It is the second book in the series.

An interesting review reminds me of the apprentice,movie of a teen wizard. Since it's an epic story with dragons wizardry and a battle with major fronts it has my interest . Thanks botd.

I typically enjoy fantasy, but this one sounds too dry for me.
