Realms is one of the best books I've ever read! I love the massive battles which are filled with suspense and shadow. The supernatural beings come alive through the author's masterful descriptions. This book is one that you just can't put down! So get ready to enjoy a heart-pounding, plot-twisting adventure!

This Awakening bids the reader to take up their sword and fight! It tells a tale very close to all of our hearts, which follows an unsuspecting warrior with a higher calling to join in a fight that transcends the physical world into the spiritual. Like the protagonist of the story, we can all relate to that calling to do something great for a good cause, whatever that may be. E. Otto Tilley has crafted a truly amazing tale that sets its characters in a world, much like ours, where there is much more than we see with our eyes. In his book, the clash between good supernatural forces and those that are evil is fully realized with epic battles and struggles both grand and minute alike. Evil never made good look so, well...GOOD, and though the line is clearly set between the two, it may be harder to realize just how deep deception can run, yet conversely, just how profound love, destiny, and goodness can also run. A classic tale for good vs. bad, but depicted on a scale that I have never seen done before. Reading this book will "awaken" anyone to the true battle that is being waged everyday. The characters are well-developed, diverse in personalities, and the balance between moral, message, action, and repose is dynamic and perfect--the relationships: real. This story will keep you up late at night turning page after page only to find out that there's a twist, and the saga is far from over. There is more to this riveting tale to come and I can't wait.

This book is very thought provoking. The story starts slow but is necessary to the fast pace it quickly takes. It definitely keeps your interest. Can't wait until the next one.

Realms: The Awakening will provoke you into contemplating your own belief system. The author's masterful descriptions will make you feel like you are witnessing the scenes as you're turning the pages. This book is suspenseful, so you will be compelled to keep reading! I'm looking forward to E. Otto Tilley's next work.

This book was absolutely awesome! Great writing, realistic characters, thought-provoking and action packed. I couldn't put it down and am eagerly awaiting book two so I can see what happens next! I expect to see this great new author on the bestseller's list in the very near future.

I'm usually a little reluctant to buy a book by an author I've never read, but by the end of the first chapter, I was hooked. This is an exciting story with courageous heros and villians so evil, they make your skin crawl. The plot keeps the pages turning and you on the edge of your seat. I can honestly say this was money well spent. I can't wait for the second book in this trilogy.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. There is a great balance of exciting and suspenseful battles mixed in with a depth of thought provoking characters and relationships. I appreciated how well the book was written and the different levels of good vs. evil that the book explored. I highly recommend it!

The Realms starts out as a "so-so" script. It quickly forces the reader to self examine life in general. Both thoughtful and thought provoking, a reader simply can't help but become part of the story. "This could be my life story". That's the feeling generated by this book.
E.Otto Tilley has created a memorable first book. I can't wait for his next book.

What a great read! I like action, movement, and good pace, and this book does a great job of keeping my senses peaked! Not too complicated, not too simple, just right!
