Falling in love with a woman you've never seen before isn't normal. However, for a man like Sky Pheris, this is only the tip of the iceberg. For one, he was born with the ability to see into the souls of others, with all of the often gruesome details. Adapting to these powers has led to him becoming quite the lonesome outcast.Even a loner must talk to someone, though, even if it's only over letters. Hence, via a winged mail service, Sky had been keeping contact with a princess named Solveig, from the Star Kingdom. And what man in his right mind wouldn't fall in love with a princess?Sky, having made up his mind to go and see Solveig in person, began what should've been a simple journey. It should've been just a normal trek across the three nearly-connected continents of Peleg, home of many forms of peoples and creatures.Indeed, it should've been.Meeting up with a pathetic priest, a gorgeous tavern-owner, and an overly curious scientist along the way have made life much more complicated for Sky. Together, they challenge his beliefs, reveal more about his unique powers, and make a romance that seems to be much more real than his written dream.Last but certainly not least, the people of Peleg are having to defend against mysterious, magical invaders. One of those invaders happens to have a focus on the Star Kingdom, the very same place where Sky wants to end his journey THE SKY OF PELEG is the first book of a series that promises to intrigue and entertain any reader of fantasy.

This review is from: The Sky of Peleg (Paperback)
Sky of Peleg is sincere work of fantasy writing that covers the matters of the heart, the consciousness, and the soul. In a sense, the retro-fitted saga speaks of the human condition, of love, of adventure, and of reformations. The author was a young man in his early twenties when this book was created (author's first book ever). As someone who isn't a man, reading this book gave me a figurative view of a young man's spiritual life via a fictitional imaginative story. This book is supposed to be the beginning of a series of fantasy novels, perhaps set up like Nordic tales in the content that detailed heroic deeds of the protagonist, which is catered to young male adults.
Although Sky of Peleg could use more editing, it still is good gift for young boys in their teens; and the typos may be use to train the eye to catch minor grammatical mistakes. Would not be listed with Christian Bookstore titles, because it questions the dogmatic ways of religious organizations. A good read for the more progressive Christians, those in love with someone somewhere far-far away, the Bubble Boy, and those engaged in a pen-pal based relationship.

This review is from: The Sky of Peleg (Paperback)
I was surprised how good this book was. It's not just a very good first novel it's a very good novel period and I am eagerly awaiting the next 2 books in the trilogy. Specifics... the main character "Sky" has this pretty amazing gift to be able to do battle within another person's soul. So you're thinking to yourself "big deal so what?" I'll tell you what, it's not the over done mental battle thing, it's not minds that are fighting it's souls and to understand the difference you're just going to have to read the book. This book has utterly orignal content, and the story is told well. There is the matter of a _few_ typos, but all things considered that's not hard to overlook. Buy the book trust me you'll enjoy it.
