4 Star Review for Salinor: The Beginnings by Samuel Alexander

4 Stars for “Salinor: The Beginnings” by Samuel Alexander

Salinor is an epic fantasy tale that is sure to bring a world of enjoyment to any lover of the fantasy genre. The author did a great job in tying in the aspects of war, adventure, love, hate, prophecy, and mythology into this detailed work.

There are two parts of the story, that of Leo and Danais, which you could say is present day, and the story of 1000 years earlier which has an important role in the journey that Leo and Danais undertake many years later.

The author did a great job in weaving together not only the development of the characters, but also their history and world building upon which many aspects of the book rely upon.

Leo and Danais struggle through adversity, aided along by their friends, and follow the path of the prophecy which can disrupt the power of the Tyrant.

The story is well over 700 pages and will give even an avid readers hours upon hours of reading enjoyment. With the story being so long, both parts of the story (the past and present) could be standalone portions and be edited into two separate novels.

There are some typos and misspellings in the book, not so much that they distract from reading, but the average reader will spot them.

4 out of 5 Stars

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an epic fantasy tale full of history and world building with well-developed characters.
