review 1: I got this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.I'm not sure how much I like this... the characters seem a bit hollow, and I don't know enough about the story to keep my interest. There's a certain familiarity that I get through all fantasy books but there's also a totally new world and powers that Drake has created that is confusing. Creative, but unclear, as I read it became more clear, but it was a struggle. I have to say it was an interesting experience getting his book. I at first didn't get the book like I was supposed to, I messaged Maxwell Alexander Drake and he sent me the first and second book autographed! Five stars because it was awesome!
review 2: I didn't think that I would like this story as much as I did. The beginning wasn't overly promi
... moresing, because I had a feeling that I was stuck in a place with the characters from where there's no escape, that I'm going to have to endure the whole book, but as the story progressed and as the characters started to go on the path that would lead them to the "real story", I started liking it more and more.There are four main characters in this story - Arderi Cor, his brother Alant Cor (and I believe that, even though they're brothers, they're going to be on two separate sides, something like good vs. evil, although I'm not sure which one goes to which side yet), Clytus and Klain. Their stories are really interesting and the world they live in more so - there are Elmorians, an alien race that is considered the most powerful of them all and whose secrets are closely guarded, Kithians - almost extinct lion humanoids whose representative is Klain, Clytus who represents old Tat'Sujen order who brings in new recruit, Arderi and Alant, with the power of Essence.It really doen't have any sense if you haven't read the book, but in the end, most of the basic stuff is explained and you're looking for more.I am really happy that I got this book because it provided an excellent reading experience and I would recommend it to all fantasy lovers. less
