review 1: OK, the only part of the book I did not like was the prolog. It seemed that it was going to be just like many others I have read. I was wrong!The structure of this book is very similar to many epic fantasy series - a group of disparate people find themselves flung together, and learn to love and trust each other. They all work together to attempt to save the world and all its races. Even had this been all there was too it, it was better written than many I have read. The dialog was natural, the characters were interesting. The descriptions were very visual. I could actually see the different lands they passed through in my mind. Most of all, I really enjoyed Lee and Gewey and their developing friendship.I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Among the things I a... moreppreciated the most:- I appreciated the diversity of the "companions" (elf, half-elf, half-god, god, younger hero, couple of older people, etc.)- I thought the "romance" aspect developed a little quickly, but was believable. - I enjoyed Gewey and thought he was very natural as a teenager. That is, he reacted as a teenager would, but was mature in many ways, as is natural for teenagers. All in all, I am looking forward to the subsequent books. Thank you for the opportunity to read this.
review 2: I normally don't write reviews. I had a chance to get a copy of this book so I can do a review. I would like to start off by saying that I love, love, love the fantasy genre!! Fantasy genre is pretty much the only one I read, so I am always looking for new authors. Sure I normally read urban fantasy, but I’ll give a medieval, sword fighting, magic with gods and elves a try. I wasn't sure what I expected when starting to read this book. How can you go wrong with that formula? So “The Godling Chronicles: The Sword of Truth” was a perfect book to cut my teeth into with reviewing! Let me start of saying that it was funny/serious in all the right places with a healthy dose of whit and sarcasm to boot. I have to admit at first it was a little hard for me to get into, but after the fifth chapter it was hard for me to put down. I usually run through books when I get them. I can read a book in one day or two if it is like an encyclopedia. ;-) This book, because of the slow beginning, it took me a week to read (like a chapter a day). But once I started reading it I finished it in a flash!! Ok. Here is my actual review of the book. ;-)The slow start and other miscellaneous issues:I was literal bored to tears when I started to read The Godling Chronicles because of the slow start. You know the question I posted earlier in this review, “How can you go wrong with this formula?” I thought this book did.I was going to email witchypoo and tell her I changed my mind and wanted to give the book back. But I didn't want to be labeled a quitter so I pushed on. Let me just say I am horrible when it comes to grammar, so when I kept finding them (something Word would even catch with a nice blue line to point out what kind of mistakes you have. Believe me I know, I get them all the time *sigh*) I was a little worried that I will be to focus on finding grammatical errors that I would miss out on the book.The Fantastical:I’m glad I kept on chugging and read the entire book. It has all the key elements for an epic tale! The fight between good and evil (check), a fight to save the world (check), a hero who didn't know he was a hero (check, check, check).Gewey was a lovable character that you are truly routing for to conquer the evil of the Dark Knight, with a little dash of elves/human animosity to throw in to make the book have more than one plot line to occupy your mind. It left me pleasantly surprise and eagerly anticipating reading the second book.The Conclusion: Let me say that I am glad I did hang in there with this book!! It was amazing! I love the story line, the flow (once I got into it), and the ending makes you want to buy the next book in the series. So if you like anything that has to deal with medieval times, sword fights, magic, and gods, then this is the right series for you! I know I can't wait to buy the next one in the series! What am I saying, I already did!! :D less

I wasn’t impressed when I first started this story. The writing was mediocre and the plot was cheesy. The further along I got the more interested I became. While the writing wasn’t amazing, there was nothing blaringly wrong with it. My biggest problem with the writing was that I felt there was too much dialogue.I liked the overall plot and I’m a bit curious to see where the story will go. There are a few cheesy moments and fantasy clichés, but it was still interesting enough to read. The romance, for example, was so typical and mushy that I’m not sure how I feel about it.The characters were okay. Most I didn’t like and there were many instances when I felt they were too similar. I feel like the characters weren’t flushed out enough to stand out or be unique. I was also confused as to why he had unique names like Kaylia, Millet, etc and then had others like the Dark Knight and the Sword of Truth.I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series. I’m curious but I don’t feel like the story held my interest enough.

A tale weaved in magic, where light and dark must fight, battling for what they believe in right. This tale has all the ingredients of a fantasy that hooks the reader from the start, where the reader can revel in the tapestry of enchantment and ride along with the characters in anticipation.I don't give spoilers, but will say that this book is worth reading, especially for those who enjoy lands of the imagination.
