This is an excellent novel. Not too long, not too short. The hook is set early and the tug is there until the end. If you like epic fantasy, this is a book you should read. From the first chapter to the last, you will not want to put the book down.

An excellent epic fantasy adventure. Easy to read, yet detailed enough to fully engulf you in each character (even the horses have names). The adventure flows well with up to three simultaneous scenes. The story is unique and not predictable with strong new characters arriving throughout the book. I was never disappointed with the pace. The ending leaves you with a ton of questions and speculation, but doesn't leave you feeling cheated. Bring on Volume 2! I highly recommend this book for Jr. High through adult.

After navigating some basic flaws from being written by a first-time author and being a self-published work, I somehow still found this book entertaining. The story is fresh and the concept original. I've read plenty of fantasy books in my time and I've never heard of anything like Onyxdrop. Plus the characters were well-developed and the fighting scenes well-written, although at times some of the characters' actions seemed a little stilted or incongruous with their personality/background. The book does have major problems with editing, or lack thereof. It is distracting, and I hope that with the second book those problems will be ironed out.

The author did do a good job of pacing the action in the book and keeping the reader's suspense. I'm sure as he gains more experience writing novels, each successive work will be more polished.

As an avid reader of fantasy (and many other genres), I find it hard to believe that any other well-read person would enjoy this book. The story is okay but underdeveloped. It wants to be epic (think Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, etc.) but doesn't quite have the stamina. It feels more like an outline than an actual novel. On top of that, the editing is extremely poor. I felt like I needed a red pen to make it through to the end! There are many, many mistakes (i.e. your/you're, duplicate words, too/to, etc.) that make for a bumpy read at best. The character development is lacking and much of the words are redundant within single paragraphs. I have no desire to expend either money or time in order to continue with this series.

WOW! This was a great book. The great detail in the story kept my imagination running full time picturing the settings and characters. There seemed to be a twist around every turn and all of them as surprising as the next. I found myself unable to put it down without continuing to wonder what was going to happen next. The only problem with this book is that part 2 isn't out yet and I can't wait.

I don't normally read this type of books, but it was an enjoyable read. I can't wait for the next one!

I was very pleased with this book. As stated in other reviews, it was well paced and not too wordy. It had just enough description to keep the story interesting and to allow me to visualize the people, locations, etc. The characters are interesting and realistic and the ideas of Onyxdrop, Silverdrop and the rune casting were all nice touches. I'm already recommending this one to my friends.
