Belina Stood at the Edge of a Precipice...,
By
This review is from: Creator Born (Paperback)
For 1000 years, the people of Rheudauhism lived in a state of peaceful fragility. They tried to live in a world without magic and without the guidance of the Creator. The citizens of Rheudaushim are afraid to embrace the awesome omnipotence of the Creator. They believe that if they open links to the Creator, they will unleash the Destroyer. And, as a result, their world will plunge into darkness once again.
Belina wanted to have a life filled with children and grandchildren and to live in blissful anonymity. But this was far from the life that the Creator had chosen for her. Belina's destiny was much more momentous and dangerous than she would ever have expected. From a young age, Belina had prophetic dreams. She could manipulate the elements and harness the power of the Creator. However, Belina must keep her abilities a secret from everyone, apart from her mother. This is because she knows that if anyone finds out what she can do, she will be put on trial for her life. But fate, as well as the malevolent hordes that surround her, force Belina to act. She must face the Destroyer and save those whom she loves. She must battle forces that are all-powerful and all-consuming. If she fails, the world will be filled with torment and suffering once more. And no one will escape the wrath of the Destroyer... Most fantasy fiction writers these days are Tolkien "wannabes." They fill their novels with labyrinthine plots and a muddle of complicated gimmicks. All I can say to these writers is that there is only one Tolkien! Don't try and copy him, as more often than not, you will fail. This is what is so refreshing about Creator Born. Shirley Hiter has written a fantasy tale that is both original and zestful. The world that Hiter creates is one filled with rip-roaring adventure and intriguing mysticism. Her characters are well rounded and passionate. And, her story is heart-warming, humourous, and simply stated. If I had one tiny criticism, it would be that the book ends too abruptly. But I cannot get too upset about that. It is trick that most authors use, to get the reader excited about the next book. If the first book in this series is anything to go by, Book Two promises to be one filled with apocalyptic battles and glimpses of Machiavellian intrigue. In short, Creator Born is an exuberant piece of fiction that will keep you turning the pages until the very end. As the battle between good and evil rages, only Belina can stop the dark forces of the Destroyer. However, the Destroyer is not all she has to fear. Ignorant superstition and those closest to her may hinder Belina in her task. Will Belina succeed against all odds, or will she fall at the final hurdle? Buy the book and find out!
