Review for Book 2 of my new SF series

Hey there, my friends! Just wanted to share a nice review that came in about my second science fiction work, Children of the Great Reckoning Series book 2: Samu'el. I'm so pleased that the titles are generating some nice energy out and about...

Let me put a notion on the table- ' the suspension of understanding'. Even though you don't really understand every scene, every character, every nuance, something compels you to go on with the expectation that even though you may not understand exactly what is happening, you have enough faith that, in time, you will. You go with it.



I confess, dear reader. I did not understand everything that happened in this brilliant book. Yet I was enthralled, really could not put it down. Identities blend, share bodies, enter into various states of what is 'real' or not real. Various factions compete, through stealth, power, manipulation for the multiple identities of Ianto, the presence within Sam, his lover, really his Other. How can you have a lover who is really part of your 'true' self? With whom you 'share' a body?



The narrative really defies convention thinking, and forces the reader to accept that he/she might not 'get' everything. Enjoy the ride, the mystery, the incomprehensible. The writing is elegant, the conundrums many. The story takes place on various planes of reality, and the reader (me, at least) was not always sure who was who and what was what. But that is the magic of this book-it remained compelling throughout.



What a thoroughly enjoyable read. Highly recommended!
