《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#6: 'The Runestone Guardians book 1: secrets of Sølvefalske' by wolfeea12
Advertisement
This story is written by wolfeea12, and it's great. I love it. Expect me to be really positive about it.
This is a fantasy story inspired by Norse mythology (I'm a big mythology fan so that makes it even better). The main character is Ylvana. She is the Wolf Princess, chosen by Skoll to end the war between the two kingdoms in the 10th realm, Sølvefalske and the Sutherlands. She is helped by, for example, Miria, crown princess if Sølvefalske and Jay, the son of king Argo Fenrir from the Sutherlands.
You know what? This story's complex. Just go and read that incredibly long description.
The characters are likeable and well written in my opinion, and the grammar/vocabulary is great too. There were some mistakes (like getting their, they're and there mixed up), but these mistakes become less frequent the further we come in the story.
Same goes for switching between tenses: the story is written in present tense, but sometimes our dear author accidentally slips up and starts writing past tense. But, this also happens less when the story progresses. (
^ you know when there are book reviewers who are like "yeah lol I'll read two chapters of your book and write a 50 word review and expect you to vote for all my books and follow me in exchange!"?
I exaggerated, but you get my point.
I'm trying to say, if you're a person who might want to make their own review book someday: please read the entire book. Writing improves. Writing styles change. The mistakes made in chapter four will probably not be made in chapter 14 because We learn from our mistakes.
^Just some advice to everyone.
The only possibly turn off for this book are fantasy clichés: kingdoms at war, the Chosen One, shapeshifters.... all been done before. I do think that the mythology gives something unique to the story, so that helps. Just remember that general, 'overused' story lots need that little extra. (You succeeded in giving your story that, in my opinion)
Now, where is my sequel?

Three Hundred Years After The End Of The World
Three hundred years after the end of the world as humanity knew it, the gears of an old plan slowly begin to move again, as a group of self-imposed reincarnators, along with their equally unlikely companions, gather once again to set things right... but does the world they plan to restore need, or even want, their help? Follow the misadventures of an eclectic bunch of genius misfits as they attempt to assemble and fix the world they accidentally devastated in the past. ~~~ Author's note: This is actually the first volume of a novel I wrote nearly a decade ago for the VNDB discussion boards, taking inspiration from the random off-topic ramblings that characterized the golden age of the community. After sevear years and countless rewrites, it is pretty much unrecognizable, but while it is not fit for professional publishing (due to the fact that several fragments and older versions are still out there on various forums and blogs), I decided it is a waste to just let it sit idly on my hard drive forever. As such, I decided to share it somewhere where people could maybe appreciate it, so here it is.
