The minute you pick up this book, be prepared to invest a lot of time in it. You'll read Part 1 and then scramble for Parts 2 and 3 because you simply have to know everything.
Iona's life is a reflection of what people are going through. There is hardship, sadness and a sense that all hope has died away. Any person in her situation will seek an escape and Iona does the same. She runs but realises only too soon that running away doesn't mean the problem is solved.

3.5 I did like it, but I wondered the entire book:
Iona is a young woman in her 20's Married to Cole for 5 years & they live next door to her parents. Cole takes her parents somewhere and tells Iona he will be back in a little while. She seems almost paranoid, because she is dependent on others for help. She sufers from 3 chronic illnesses & is always in pain. She goes to sleep, and when she wakes up, she expects her husband to be home. He is not & she goes to her parents house very w...more

She is also suffering from various ailments and Cole takes care of her in all possible ways. One bad day, Cole and her parents doesn't return back from their doesn't return home after their travel. After searching the hospitals, police stations and neighborhood for days, Iona is left alone with her ailments..and yeah, debts. After some months, Iona's home is goi...more
I love fantasy novels and was feeling broke as usual so I was hesitating about buying the paperback version of this one. I was delighted when the author broke her long tale into smaller ebooks and began reading right away.
The tale of a sickly woman who loses her family and her home began to depress me and feel much to much like what I was seeing in the world around me and I opened another book.
Finally my curiosity got the better of me and I returned to Maycly. I'm glad I did, parts are long an...more

I’ve found this book very lovely. Reading the first part, the explanation of The Book of Good and Evil for me was like a fantasy version of the bible. And I couldn’t see the connection between Iona and the rest of the story. Iona’s story was one thing, and the story for Maycly was something very different, I couldn’t connect the two stories. The second part was a great epic battle. Amazing fantasy creatures, good and evil, fighting for Maycly. The third part I liked the most. I’ve found the answ...more
I am enthralled by this wonderful new world. Reminiscent of the character journeys of both Star Wars and Wizard of Oz, I am looking forward to the complete epic of Hidden Earth.
Maycly Part 1 is a fabulous beginning, arming the reader with the history of Maycly and introducing the reader to Iona. Iona has suffered some great tragedies, yet still manages to maintain a childlike innocence. She struggles with her faith and only truly begins her adventure when she opens her heart up to the Grand Wiza...more

I already read the paperback AND LOVED IT, so I decided to download Part 1 to my PC...the illustrations are in color--WOO-HOO!--but they are really small (it will be great to see them full size in the companion book that's supposed to come out soon.) I can't believe anyone would NOT want to buy Parts 2 and 3 as well. The end of Part 1 leaves you hanging by a thread, and you absolutely MUST "hear the other shoe drop." The author's style is so easy to read, even the dialog spoken by the chukkons r...more
I recieved this book for review but that has in no way effected my opinion.
I enjoyed this part of the book. It is a good foundation to what could be an excellent story. I am intrigued to see where the author is going with these characters. So far it is a decent fantasy. **see review for part two**
