In the coming weeks I will post reviews of Kaspar Beaumont's Hunter's of Reloria Trilogy.
Review: Hunters of Reloria, Book 1 Elven Jewel
Book 1 in the Hunters of Reloria series introduces us to
some wonderful and unlikely heroes. Fendi, Randir, and Sienna are teen
halflings used to living a mostly quiet life but they are thrust into a harsh
new reality when they embark on a quest to warn others of the impending
invasion about to overtake their lush and peaceful land. Hoards of Vergai,
reptilian warriors from the land of Vergash are pouring into their quiet world
through a portal in the shield which protects them from invaders. They are
caught up in the rush to assemble an army to fight the invaders and rescue the
kidnapped Elven princess, Shari-Rose. Along the way they are able to enlist the
help of a motely assemblage of Relorias varied inhabitants. Once mortal enemies
forge alliances to save their land. Human Knights fight alongside Dwarves and
Goblins. The mysterious Mountain Man, Asher Grey leads the Hunters of Reloria
to a bloody encounter with over one thousand Vergai on the plains. The battle
is ultimately won but not without great cost and the princess remains captive beyond
the portal in Vergash.
Kaspar Beaumont creates a wonderful new world with diverse
landscapes and people. The sense of urgency inherent in the quest keeps you
turning the pages. The close friendships and teen angst of the younger
characters are layered against the growing comradeship of the medley of
warriors. It is a quick and easy read for fantasy lovers of all ages. I look
forward to the next book.
