《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?

Those That Do Not Yet Exist
These are not full stories. They are tales that have not yet occurred, whose timelines and events are not yet set in stone. The story of a shape-shifting alien, exploring rural Earth. The incident involving an artificial hero. A strange valley of water and a great tree. These are stories that are yet to come. Who knows where they may lead? These are test chapters, if you will. Pilot episodes to determine the reaction people have to them. Have fun!

The Seven Helpful Sins
A young man, living a hopeless life, accidentally discovers a cursed book. Upon opening it, he meets the seven deadly sins. Inadvertently freeing them from the book, he begs for their help. As thanks, they agree to his request and proceed to aid him with improving his life. Whether this was a wise decision remains open for debate. Author Note: I'm generally trying to include viewer interaction so that the audience decides the order of events and how frequently and/or which characters are the focus alongside the MC.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
