Fiery Fantasy Thoughts

The first volume in the extraordinary new fantasy trilogy from Joni L. Parker. Trapped on an island, shipwrecked time travellers struggle first to survive and then--to escape.

Elves, dwarves and mortals mingle in a world filled with pirates, political intrigue and magic. Their fates rest in the hands of one young woman, the orphan Lady Alexin.

Half Elf and sole descendant of a Titan ancestor, she trained as a warrior, to avenge her parents' deaths, unaware that only she has the power to save them all.

I love a Fantasy story, however this one fell a little short for me.

I enjoyed the background information, but I did feel a little overwhelmed at the amount of information that was thrown at me in parts.

There was a lot going on with a variety of characters and places and your imagination was always kept active by sub plots coming and going but I did think that due to all of these things going on I was a little confused at times.

Also, I found the grammatical and spelling errors a little distracting and thought if this book had an editor to deal with the grammatical errors and slim down some of the heavily detailed background information, it would be a fantastic read.

But due to these weaknesses, I can only give this fantasy book 2 wings out of 5 as it did not set my world on fire!
