Godsland Book One - Call of the Herald
243 pages
Echoes of the ancients' power are distant memories, tattered and faded by the passage of eons, but that is about to change. A new dawn has arrived. Latent abilities, harbored in mankind's deepest fibers, wait to be unleashed. Ancient evils awaken, and old fears ignite the fires of war. When a Catrin Volker, a teenage horse trainer, inadvertently fulfills the prophecy of the destroyer, she becomes the most feared and hunted person on all of Godsland. With the help of her friends, she must convince the world that she wants only peace.
Review:
I had very high expectations for this book, and it met all of them! I received this book about a week ago, so I had to put down the novel I was reading in order to finish Call of the Herald in time for today's review. Luckily- well, not luckily, but it kinda worked in my favor- I was sick and got to stay in bed all day and read.
This book started off a bit slow, and it took me a few chapters to get into it, but once I did, there were no regrets. It also took me a little while to get used to the foreign names of the people and places. Again, no regrets there.
In the beginning, we hear about a prophecy that had been made years before the book was set. Then we skip ahead a few hundred years into what is supposed to be present time.
We meet the main character, Catrin, right away. She's depicted as a mostly average girl for
where she lives, although she seems a bit shy, shown in the way she is unwilling to partake in some of her friend and cousin's pranks.
Catrin fullfils the ancient prophecy without realizing it. Suddenly, she's gone from a young supporting character in someone else's story to a feared, yet revered, legend.
Now she must go from the timid girl she was to the strong, independent girl she is now, all while trying to prove that she is a benevolent force.
Although this process was fairly quick, it wasn't quick enough for me to become annoyed.
I think this is a great book and that everyone should read it, especially since the first two books are free right now.
Rating: 4 stars
Recommended for: anyone who can follow the storyline without getting discouraged.
