About the author
Terry Ironwood
13 books42 followersI read The Lord of the Rings as a child.
The sense of wonder and escape was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I developed a voracious appetite for fantasy and owe much to the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks, Raymond E. Feist, Tad Williams, J.K. Rowling, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, and David Eddings, among others.
Fantasy offers more than simple entertainment and escapism. It provides new perspectives, explores themes such as friendship, love, and honour, evokes a sense of wonder, and allows us to experience adventures we can only dream about. It also teaches valuable truths we can apply in our own lives. More importantly, it allows us to imagine. As Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
I wanted to write this series for a long time. It returns to the roots of the classic epic fantasy I grew up with. I have been fortunate to experience both the lowest lows and the highest successes in life. The former has proven to be the better teacher. I draw from a rich well and have learned that beautiful people exist at both ends. Remember, we are all in this together.
The weapons master once said, “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I took his advice and put pen to paper. In essence, I broke through my wall. I hope these books offer all the benefits mentioned above, and more. I never imagined that writing fantasy would be more rewarding than reading it. The inspiration and creativity I experienced exceeded anything I could have dreamed of, made possible by learning how to imagine.
I hope this story connects with you and makes a difference in your life because, after all, I wrote it for you.
Sincerely,
Terry Ironwood

"When you feel you can't go on, you have lots left."
What a fun journey! An exciting adventure that is easily devoured in a few short hours. With a YA flavor to it Orphan's Quest is full of life lessons for all ages.
Chip, an orphan, left to the mercy of the king of Vanalon has a very tough childhood. If not for the care of midwife, Auntie Clare, the wizard, Xander and weapons master, Garth Stone, Chip would have perished. But, each of these esteemed characters knows that there is something more to Chip than the red eyes he was born with.
The story is full of terrifying adventure but it is also full of character building lessons. Themes of forgiveness, finding the strength within, friendship and honor are key to the story. Self-control is freedom. That is a statement to ponder!
I received a copy of Orphan's Quest for free and I am voluntarily leaving my opinions of this novel. Thank you to the author, publisher and Goodreads for this opportunity.

I'll get the easy joke out of the way right up front: This is book one of the unfortunately-titled "Great Forget Fantasy Series." I can confirm it would indeed be great if I could forget it.
When i cracked the cover on this one, for a moment I thought this review was going to feel like I was in some way punching down at an undeserving target. I saw the world map at the front of the book with such inspired landmarks as "secret caves" and "Demon Island," and I wondered for a moment if I was looking at a kid’s doodles from the back of his math notebook.
But then I saw that the author claims “multiple university degrees.” Multiple! And then thanks an editor, whose literal job is to keep stuff like this from escaping into the wild. So, with that, I was satisfied to take the gloves off for this one.
Here’s the recipe: one Orphan With a Mysterious Past, because apparently we’ve never seen that before. Give him Cursed Red Eyes, because subtlety is overrated. Drop in a Wicked Stepmother named “Miss Stern” (REAL subtle) who exists only to be cruel in cartoonishly over-the-top ways, like a dollar store version of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. Throw in a Brutal King, a Wise Queen, and a Deus-Ex-Wizard who appears right on cue to bail our hero out of trouble. Every single character is a stock trope yanked straight out of the bargain bin of storytelling without one ounce of nuance thrown in, ever.
The prose (y'know...the stuff the editor should have helped polish up) is where things really go to hell. The tone whiplashes from flowery to juvenile: “bathed in golden afternoon sunlight” right next to the protagonist calling someone a “mean, ugly, old witch.” The book has a crippling phobia of the notion of "Show, Don't Tell." It has to spoon-feed every emotion: “He had never felt so alone,” “He felt like the king of the world.” Thank you for the summary! I will now feel nothing.
And it barely scrapes past 100 pages. It's more like an attempt to game Kindle Unlimited payouts by cranking out multiple novella-length installments a year than an actual effort to write an interesting story.
To the author: if you actually paid this so-called editor, I hope you kept the receipt. Because reading “It was then that the nightmare truly began” and stamping that with a professional seal of approval is malpractice.
To potential readers: avoid this at all cost. Your time is worth more. Read literally anything else. The blurb beside the puzzle on the back of a Cap'n Crunch box has more originality and better dialogue.

Orphan’s Quest is a short yet captivating tale that sets the stage for an intriguing fantasy series. The story follows Chip, an orphaned boy with striking red eyes, who grows up working in the kitchens of a small kingdom. His life takes a turn when the powerful wizard Xander recognizes something unique in him. As Chip embarks on his Manhood Quest, he faces challenges that test his strength, encounters ancient magic, and ultimately makes a discovery that changes everything.
Right from the start, I was drawn to Chip’s story. There’s something about an underdog protagonist that makes the readers want to root for them, and Terry Ironwood has written it in a way that feels real. His struggles, his hopes, and his quiet determination. The world-building is subtle but effective, hinting at a rich history shaped by a mysterious event that brought magic into existence. The presence of wizards, ancient evils, and legendary quests gives the story a classic fantasy feel, yet there’s an emotional depth that makes it more than just an adventure.
By the time I reached the end, I wasn’t ready to leave this world. I found myself wanting to know more about what comes next in the story. This is a story with heart and adventure. Although I read this one on kindle (that's just priced 0.99$), I'd like to now check out the very promising audiobook.

Terry Ironwood’s Orphan’s Quest, the first instalment in The Great Forget Fantasy Series, is a captivating and emotionally resonant tale that blends classic fantasy elements with a deeply human story of healing and self-discovery. The narrative follows Chip, a red-eyed orphan initially condemned to servitude, who, through the intervention of a powerful wizard, Xander, embarks on a journey that transcends a simple manhood quest. Ironwood skillfully crafts a world subtly infused with magic and hints at a rich history, drawing inspiration from fantasy giants like Tolkien and Rowling while carving out its distinct identity.
The strength of Orphan’s Quest lies in its character development, particularly Chip’s transformation. The supporting characters, such as Queen Charlotte, Auntie Clare, and Weapons Master Garth, serve as vital lifelines, guiding Chip with kindness, training, and wisdom. While the narrative boasts elements of adventure and ancient magic, it’s Chip’s internal battles and his earned growth that truly resonate. The author’s clear and engaging writing style respects the reader’sintelligence, delivering soft wisdom and exploring themes of labelling, self-belief, and finding purpose even in the face of profound pain.
This makes Orphan’s Quest a powerful exploration of the human spirit’s resilience. The book’s relatively short length makes it an accessible entry point for younger fantasy fans, and its promise of more in the series leaves readers eager to explore the further adventures and deeper world-building hinted at in this opening instalment. The book successfully establishes a compelling foundation for what promises to be an engaging and emotionally rich fantasy series.

Book Review: Orphan’s Quest - A Tale of Transformation.
At first glance, it may seem like a simple fantasy about a boy cast aside, but page by page, it becomes so much more - a heartfelt journey of healing, friendship, quiet strength, and the ever-burning hope of becoming.
At the heart of it all is Chip, a red-eyed orphan born into rejection and ridicule. From the very beginning, I found myself anxious for him - anxious in a way I’ve never felt for a character before. The world says he's cursed, an “it,” a demon, a mistake. And for a moment, you almost expect him to follow the usual path, “the stone that the builders rejected becoming the cornerstone”. But nothing about Chip’s journey is predictable.
The emotional roller coaster begins early. Abandoned at the palace gates, tossed aside by the king, and stuffed into a pantry closet like discarded trash, Chip’s life reads like a long, cold night with no promise of morning. But then, the quiet heroes begin to emerge. Queen Charlotte. Auntie Clare. Wizard Xander. Weapons Master Garth Stone. These aren't just fantasy tropes; they're lifelines. And with every kindness, every brutal training session, every hard-earned lesson, Chip grows, not just in strength, but in dignity.
What Orphan’s Quest does best is the careful and believable development of Chip's character. His transformation isn't magical at all, it’s earned. It’s in the way he clenches his fists instead of lashing out. In how he holds on to discipline when the world offers none. In the flicker of power he discovers not when he chooses anger, but when he chooses life.
And that Manhood Quest? That was the ride. I genuinely feared for him, feared that he wouldn’t make it, feared he’d collapse under the weight of it all. There were moments when it felt like the story would tip into tragedy. That he wouldn’t survive. That his potential—his mysterious powers, might stay locked away, never fully realized. But Chip surprises you, again and again, not with grand gestures, but with small, determined steps forward.
Now, one thing that gave me pause was the way the author shifted between referring to him as “Chip” and “the boy.” It was a little disconcerting at times. While I understand the literary choice, perhaps a way to mirror how society sees or erases him. There were moments where it created distance just as I was feeling close to the character. Still, in some strange way, it also underscored his orphaned state. When he’s “Chip,” he’s a person; when he’s “the boy,” he’s almost symbolic, anyone and everyone who has felt unseen.
This isn’t a fantasy book with dragons or magic spells. The “quest” in Orphan’s Quest isn’t about slaying beasts or saving kingdoms. It’s about healing. It’s about surviving the silence left by abandonment. About daring to believe that life can still offer love, purpose, and joy even when it starts in utter pain. And in that way, it is one of the most powerful quests I’ve read.
The writing itself is clear, engaging, and deeply human. There’s no pretense, just an honest telling of an emotional, character-driven story. It respects the reader’s intelligence while offering soft wisdom through Garth’s teachings and Xander’s mysteries. There’s even a hint of classic fantasy charm, the kind of vibe you get from The Chronicles of Narnia or Eragon, but this story keeps its feet firmly planted in emotional reality.
I found myself reflecting deeply as I read. On what it means to be labeled. On the power of naming and renaming. On how discipline is freedom. On how survival sometimes isn’t about strength, but the ability to hold on when you feel invisible. And in that, Chip’s story speaks to something universal.

Orphan's Quest is the first book in The Great Forget Fantasy Series by Terry Ironwood. In this first part of the series you can see the authors love of fantasy in the story and the influences of J.K. Rowling, Robert Jordan, and others. The book is well written and I was engaged from the very first page to the last with hardly anytime for breaks in between. Also great news y'all, this book is a short read with just over100 pages, you can read it in under an hour depending on your reading speed. The characters are well created, however I feel that they need a little more depth to exploring the relationships between the MMC and the other characters. I would have loved to see more story on the world overall as there would be a more built up world and connection with the audience. Part of reading a book is going through the characters experiences and I wish that was more in this book.
The MMC is named Chip with a story of young boys struggles from childhood to adult hood. He is raised in the kitchens of a small kingdom at first by a loving matron and then an abusive kitchen mistress.
However destiny has a role for him to play much different than his his humble beginning's would suggest. Xander, the local grand wizard and hero of legend Learns of a mark that destiny placed on chip at birth that signifies he is of great consequence to mankind. Chip is taken in by the wizard and his wise weapons master who teaches chip the ways of swordsmanship and prepares him for the future and the quest of manhood to the Pass of Death.
Chip begins his adventure and his quest of manhood when he reaches the age of 16. This three day hike alone to an outpost on the pass of death is interrupted by a series of deadly encounters and mysterious happenings that entangle the MMC into a much more important quest...the one to save mankind from extinction.
This book is a classic hero story with genuine wisdom in its pages. At times predictable to a fantasy buff and tabletop game nerd very familiar with the genre but enjoyable all the same. It seemed to me that the author has experience with tabletop games as I read through this book also or has taken some influence about that into his work. I would be highly interested in reading more of Terry's series about Chip to see where the story heads after that ending! You definitely need to start with this book and read the series in order for it to make sense:)
I recommend this book to younger fantasy fans that would love a quick yet well written high adventure novel! They will love the fact that it is a quick read and there are more books to the series to read through and the books do not contain hundred pages of fantasy reading like some other authors works.

Book Review: Orphan’s Quest: The Great Forget Fantasy Series Volume 1 by Terry Ironwood
Rating:5/5
Review:
👉Orphan’s Quest is a beautifully crafted, emotionally rich fantasy tale that took me on a powerful journey filled with magic, mystery, and heartfelt lessons. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into the life of Chip—an abandoned orphan with haunting red eyes, raised in the shadows of a small kingdom’s castle kitchen. Marked as different, overlooked, and burdened with hardship, Chip’s story instantly tugs at your heartstrings.
👉What makes this book so captivating is not just the magical world or the pulse-pounding adventure (though there’s plenty of that!), but the emotional core of the story. Chip is the embodiment of quiet strength. His growth—from an ignored kitchen boy to a determined young warrior on a quest—is inspiring and so beautifully written. I loved watching him forge bonds with unlikely allies, especially the princess and the wise wizard Xander, who sees what others refuse to acknowledge.
👉Terry Ironwood builds a world that feels ancient yet familiar, with echoes of classic fantasy elements—enchanted mentors, hidden magic, and a coming-of-age journey—but with a deeply human touch. The concept of The Great Forget adds an intriguing layer of mystery to the lore, hinting at a larger destiny and danger ahead. Chip’s training with the weapons master is filled with wisdom and life lessons, including the quote that stuck with me: “Everything we want is on the other side of fear.” It’s so powerful!
👉By the time Chip sets out on his Manhood Quest to the legendary Pass of Death, the stakes are high and the tension is real. I loved how this part of the story blends action, suspense, and soul-searching revelations. The ending leaves you with a sense of wonder and anticipation—what awaits in the next volume?
👉This book is a short but deeply meaningful read, perfect for anyone who loves character-driven fantasy with emotional depth and timeless themes of courage, growth, and destiny. Whether you're 13 or 100+, Orphan’s Quest reminds us that even the most overlooked among us might be the ones to save the world.
Happy reading 😁

Won a Kindle copy in a giveaway, thank you! It was a quick read over the weekend. Now, honest thoughts:
Orphan's Quest follows the formulaic plot of becoming a hero that most of us know. While that means Chip's early experiences here in this first book are pretty predictable, it doesn't take away from the potential this series has to develop into something very interesting.
I will say I wish there was more time given to exploring Chip's experiences growing up, training, and friendships. I truly liked every character involved, his mentors are especially interesting, but I feel like I missed out on really seeing how it is Chip became this capable and honorable young man we see at the end of the book. His relationships with the people in his life are each introduced briefly but I don't feel like I got to feel as much of the depth and trust Chip refers to. We only get glimpses of a few defining moments and I feel it was a but of a missed opportunity to help us as readers build our own understanding and connection to the world at large as Chip builds his own. His early years seem to be explored in great summaries rather than allowing us to experience much as it actually happens.
The latter half of the book is where I feel the story became truly gripping as we were more in tune with Chip's actions and experiences in something closer to real time. The start of the journey and the introduction of the great evil of the story was a little abrupt, however I think the action that ensued and the bit of time we got into learning the enemy was very interesting. Again, we only get what seems to be a small glimpse into the enemies but this time it feels a little more purposefully used as a hook to hint at the larger world and history involved in Chip's story. I only wish a bit more time had been spent in the early half to set up this one dose of real world building we get. This is really what makes this slightly predictable story into something that could be really promising.
I'm looking forward to how the conflict is laid out in the next books, hopefully in greater depth and detail that brings us closer to every character.

Book Review: Orphan's Quest by Terry Ironwood
Terry Ironwood’s Orphan's Quest is a captivating and emotionally charged adventure that takes readers on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and courage. Set in a richly detailed fantasy world, the novel follows the story of a young orphan named Chip, who is thrust into a quest that will define his destiny.
The novel opens with Chip, a red-eyed boy who has been abandoned at the gates of the small kingdom, navigating the harsh realities of life due to the spiteful king until he is taken under the protection of the powerful wizard, Xander. From the outset, Ironwood's writing immerses readers in a world filled with intrigue, magic, and danger. Chip's magic is revealed bit by bit, keeping the suspense high and the reader engaged.
The pacing of Orphan's Quest is superb, with the action scenes balanced by quieter, introspective moments that allow for character development and world-building. The author has a talent for creating vivid landscapes and settings, from the eerie forests to the palace and training ground, making the world feel lived-in and real. The magical elements of the story are yet to be fully unveiled, and I am waiting for that. I liked the trio and other side characters.
Orphan's Quest is a beautifully written and engrossing fantasy novel that will appeal to fans of coming-of-age tales, magical adventures, and character-driven stories. Terry Ironwood has created a world full of heart-pounding action and deep emotional stakes, ensuring that readers will be eagerly awaiting the next installment in this promising series.

Book Review: Orphan’s Quest by Terry Ironwood
This concise but power-packed fantasy adventure novel Orphan's Quest from Terry Ironwood covers Chip, a red-eyed orphan boy left to perish at a gate of a kingdom. Under the guidance of a master wizard, Xander, find an unprecedented goal. The story transforms from one of survival into the tale of adventure into a journey with courage, self-discovery with magic awakening.
The tale is rich-within-expected-agefulness itself-mythily composed in ancient secret and magical forces and action breathed into moments of silent contemplation. Ironwood's speed is perfectly placed: neither rushed but always carried along. And you could root for Chip, as he gradually develops his hidden abilities.
Though it has the same underdog theme-the boy is marginalized while people consider him worthless-the new book has so much emotional depth and great compact storytelling with a dynamic world setting that it becomes exceptional. With incredible descriptions ranging from eerie forests, mysterious, crowded grounds of training, and magical lore, the world seems alive without, at least, boring the reader.
Any fan of coming-of-age fantasy will find Orphan's Quest a delight, up there with adult books and mature middle-grade readers alike. This is a compactly bingeable, heartwarming volume full of magic and adventure-an excellent start to what seems to be an eight-part series with a promise of much more to come.

What if your entire fate was decided the moment you were born?
Orphans Quest is book 1 in The Great Forget series by Terry Ironwood. This book is a quick, fast-paced read that introduces the reader to this new fantasy world.
This book is engaging and captivating! I love stories about an underdog that no one would notice or expect to be the most powerful person in the room. I've already read the first book and immediately started the second and am excited to see what adventures await these characters.
This book has everything you'd want in a fantasy story, from a unique magic system (magic is shown through eye color, which sounds incredibly cool) to immersive worldbuilding, action-packed battles, ancient magic and an adventure filled with chaos and mystery, friendships and betrayal and classic tropes like the outcast becoming a hero.
This is a short but interesting introduction to this fantasy series, and I will be continuing to follow along in Chip's adventure.
If you're looking for a new fantasy series and love to binge-read like me, you'll want to check out The Great Forget series by Terry Ironwood. Books 1 - 7 are available on Amazon right now, and the last book is currently being written as we speak!

What an unusual story!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. It's a different fantasy story for sure. About a baby found with red eyes, and therefore condemned as a demon. But a very special person --(I never revealed story content, stories are always better when you get to experience it for yourself.) So we have an orphan .... We have
A King and Queen.... We also have one of those stories that grab you with surprises, lots of surprises.
For me personally, I always thoroughly enjoy a story that teaches me
smarter, kinder way to live my life. I'm never to old to learn something new, and this story certainly grabbed me with kind warm hands around my heart.
Editing is perfect, I only have a small knicker.... too many times I read "the orphan" which made me feel sad for the boy, who does have a name. I am curious as to why Terry Iron wood had so much trouble calling him by his name. Boy, it, child, he, and orphan are not his name, his name, you told us, is Chad. That was the only problem I had, reading way too often anything but his name. It happens frequently enough to disturb the enjoyment I get when reading a really good story.
This is a good story for teens! Or a parent and child reading together. It's an amazing story, especially in the beginning. I learned amazingly much I will apply to the way I live, the way I present myself to the world. Really

This is book one in a series of fantasy books. It’s a series of 8 books and the author is currently working on the last book in the series. So, if you are like me and are too impatient to wait forever for the next book and want to binge the whole series, this might be a good one for you!
While at first glance it might look just like most fantasy stories of an underdog child becoming a hero (and yes, this is what happens here indeed, and it’s a great formula to follow to create a compelling story), this one is extra appealing with its length. Not a 700-page-long quest of a read requiring you to put your life, universe, and everything on pause. Nope. A bite-sized one-evening reading snack. I love bite-sized bookish reading snacks.
I’m always looking for new books to add to my kid’s collection, and I think this one could be a great fit for older middle-grade readers. The story follows a young main character, Chip, making it easy for kids to connect with his experiences and challenges. It’s full of adventure, friendship, and personal growth, all told in a way that’s engaging and relatable. While there are some moments of danger and darker themes, they’re balanced with hope and resilience, making it a well-rounded and enjoyable read.

A strange child with bright red eyes appears at the gate, all alone. He is too different to be accepted and is on the verge of being banished, if not for the Queen stepping in on his behalf. Why would royalty stand up for a lowly orphan gutter rat? Is there more to him than meets the eye?
Join Chip on an entirely epic journey to manhood and self-discovery as he begins to unravel the secrets of his mysterious past. This is such a delightfully heartwarming tale that, while harrowing at times, is easily able to snag the readers' attention and keep them fully invested in his plight. Along the way, we encounter all the staples of a 'must-read' fantasy such love/hate, meaningful friendships, arcane magic, intense combat, and loads of bravery! Ironwood shows us that our 'limits' are often self-imposed and that we hold the key overcoming our limitations. And to think this is only the beginning!

This is a simplistic story that tries to check almost every typical fantasy trope box. It borrows heavily from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Most of the writing involves telling, not showing, and it's told from an old-fashioned third-person omnipotent point of view, so we can't experience many vivid sensory details or get very close to any one character. There are long passages of pure info dump. The author clearly has a proofreader who knows how to fix typos, as I saw very few of those. However, he badly needs an editor to help him phrase sentences so they don't sound awkward and unnatural (especially in dialogue). I won't be reading any more of this series or recommending it to others.

Review!!!!!
Orphan’s Quest by Terry Ironwood
Book 1 in The Great Forget Fantasy Series
I mainly got this book for the beautiful cover. Seriously caught my eye. I’m really glad I gave this a shot!
This is a short story about a baby left in the doorstep of a small kingdom. Upon inspection it was found the baby had red eyes! The king wanted him dead but the queen stops him. The king lets the baby live later named Chip but to a life of hardship and servitude.
Chip then becomes friends with the princess and a wizard named Xander. This is where Chips story begins.
A great fun short book that’s only 99 pages but such a fun read I purchased the whole series. Cannot wait to see what happens next!!!
Check it out very fun!

Crazy Short and Simplistic
first off, this book follows the traditional orphan to hero, plot, with simple one dimensional characters, improving plot devices… It’s just not assembled very well… The best analogy would be to think of a child wrongfully, imprisoned, and beaten, for years, just as he is about to be executed for nothing they find out he’s useful, and they tell him it was all his own good and he says “oh OK. That makes sense. Happy to serve”.. No anger, no animosity… made it hard to read

Epic. Satisfying. Action-packed. These are the demons that Terry has conquered to produce this scribble of an outline of an idea. I can’t work out if the characters are so flat because the story is so short, or if the story is so short because they’re so boring it’s hard to come up with anything for them to do. A bit of both I suspect. Already I’ve spent longer writing this review than it took me to read the whole book. I like an easy read sometimes but this was non-existent. Like a puff of wind.

This book is a thrilling start to a fantasy series. It starts at the beginning of Chip’s life as an abandoned baby and ends in his adolescence, when he was embarking on an adventure. I felt completely immersed in this world. It had an interesting magic system, with the type of magic the wizard had being shown in their eye colour. This book is a short and exciting introduction to this series!
Orphan’s Quest is a great fantasy story!
Content warnings: parental abandonment, bullying, violence

It’s a good one!
Wow—I absolutely loved this book! I’m a big fantasy fan, and Orphan’s Quest was such a fun escape. It’s easy to read, exciting, and completely enthralling. I found myself swept away into another world and didn’t want to put it down. I also really connected with the sayings sprinkled throughout—those little reminders that help you push through when you’re stuck. They made the story feel not just magical, but meaningful too. I can’t wait to jump into the rest of the series!

This is a short novella of a boy learning about his magical powers. It is only 100 pages long and will take about an hour to read. You have the normal template for these types (mentor wizard, mentor weapon guy, noble bully, etc. There is nothing new here but nothing horrible either. No idea if it was AI-written, though it's quite possible. Still, a nice light read if you're in a waiting room or on a commute.

An ok book. In my estimation, somewhat cliché. It is an interpetation of a familliar formula, but felt rushed and generic, with little to separate it from stronger examples of the story.
For me, the most important thing in storytelling is characters. This story did not spend enough time on the characters, establishing their identities and giving us a reason to care about them. Felt like the only reason for this book, is to set up the next one.

Quick and simple
If you are looking for a simple fantasy story that moves along straight forward this is for you. Book one is just a setup for the stor Prospectivey, we lean about the main character, the conflict and the antagonist. Nice and neat.
My dislikes, it hits all the tropes, along with just 1 and 2 Dimensional characters.

El libro 1 y 2 debería ser uno solo. El libro 3 tiene 120 paginas ...
El sistema de magia es malo. Los personajes hacen estupideces y no hay consecuencias, siempre pasa algo que salva la trama. Esta serie de libros termina siendo para niños chicos y aún así no es muy buena.
Si tienes más de 13 no recomiendo que lean este libro.

The storytelling and the worldbuilding in the first book of this fantasy series are top-notch. The main character, Chip, is fascinating with a mysterious past and abilities beyond his imaginings. The secondary cast of characters is also interesting, especially the wizard Zander and his weapon’s master Garth. Fans of LOTR and Harry Potter will enjoy this book.

Fun read
I thought it was very readable and well-written. I was caught up in the story. It was only a little over 100 pages, but it has a good ending point. I would have liked more development of the world and characters, which wasn’t really possible in this length, but that might come in later books.

“Enchanting World, Breezy Read: A Magical Tale with Room to Grow
Overall it was a quick read with some interesting characters. I wish the book was longer and developed the characters out a little more fully. The author created a unique world with some interesting elements of magic.

Not my cup of tea
This seems like a set-up book. No real enjoyment for me. We establish everything though. We find the M.C. set him up, define the world and the martial framework. Don't really get into the magic even though it seems important. Epilogue at least hinted that better times are to come

Vol 1
Vol 1 was an interesting read and had a few errors throughout. The plot and characters are developed well. The plot is a bit predictable, but has a few twists to it. The characters are fun and well thought out. The vol is a bit short and ends on a somewhat cliffhanger.

Wish It Was More
While I love that it was a quick and easy read, I wish it was longer and more detailed on sections of Chip’s life. That said, I’ll definitely be checking out the rest of the series because this is an interesting world and storyline.
