Fantastic Fantasy with Scimitars, Storytellers, Shieks, and Sorcerors.,
By Milo Molesworth (Grand Library of Helium, Barsoom) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shrine of the Desert Mage: The Parsina Saga Volume One (Kindle Edition)
If you are looking for a fantasy that is not a clone of furry-footed folk in a quasi-England or another gloomy barbarian stomping through civilization, The Shrine of the Desert Mage might be it. This is fantasy that draws from such tales as those told by Scheherazade; there are heroes and villains confronting deserts and djinn. It is light fantasy, no albino sword-wielder angst here, but it is not silly fantasy filled with puns or slap-stick humor; this book is just an enjoyable read about places that those who liked Harryhausen's Sinbad films will truly enjoy.
The Shrine of the Desert Mage sets up all the characters and the action to come in the Parsina Saga in a reasonable space --While four volumes in total, this is not a series that suffers the page bloat all too common in fantasy.-- and leaves the reader at the conclusion of it wanting to immediately pick up the following volume, The Storyteller and the Jann. The Storyteller and The Jann (Parsina Saga) Lastly, for those reading on a Kindle, this e-book has clearly been edited. Unlike so many Kindle products, there are no typos, OCR issues, etc. to mention in this volume. It reads like a book. |
