《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#9: 'Forsaken blood' by OneLessFantasy
Advertisement
'Forsaken blood' is a fantasy story that can be found on the account @OneLessFantasy. I'm saying account because the account is shared by @aishalam and @hareem_atif. I'm guessing they also write the book together.
Enough about that, let's review it! The book is about Princess Charlotte and her cousin Lady Rochelle, two women who face the pros and cons of royal life. This, of course, brings the necessary problems along. It reminds me of other medieval fantasy stories and shows, like Merlin.
The characters are great. Charlotte and rochelle are both interesting to follow as well as the people in their lives. They had a sense of humour too, which is something I can really appreciate.
The first few chapters of the story bored me a little, so I didn't get my hopes up for this book, but I was proven wrong. The book gets better and more interesting with every chapter, both in story and in characters.
Grammar and spelling is really good too. Things are described really well and I think it's really written nice. Comma's are still important though; I missed them sometimes (not "okay okay calm down", but "okay, okay, calm down.")
There are some medieval fantasy clichés, but let's face it, every story has those. I think they're done well in this story.
Lastly, there is a thing about pictures being used throughout the book. This isn't a bad thing, in fact, it helps set the scene. The thing is, overusing them breaks the flow of the story, so watch out for that, okay?
Rating: 8!

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.
