Some Lovely Reader Comments
What an excellent book! The author has a very interesting and easy to read style, meaning that ‘just one more page’ kept changing to ‘just to the end of the chapter’. The story-telling really pulls you in and I love that my imagination does some of the work (a sign of a good book in my world) and you can imagine the feelings, the noise and see the scenes before you.
It is fantasy, sci-fi, adventure all in one and some more too! I felt like I really got to know Elji and the various characters he meets and interacts with along the way.
Would most definitely recommend this and I want to know what happens next. BookTwo please when you are ready Colin!
Some people might say my writing a review about a
book because i know the author might be a bit partisan or 1 sided, i mean god
forbid any one commit to comments that might include in-depth knowledge of the
author or his quirky, funny but some what serious nature as you review their
take on subject matter. I have to say though the book for a first time go and
difficult and large subject matter had me one min wondering off to the edge of
arakis to the mystical wastelands of the native americans dancing in a pyotah
haze to twirling in a bizarre out of body experience as i threw my self into
battles and flights magnificent long lost beasts.
I feel the book in general is a great read and has the user thinking about what
hes reading , although i found my self sometimes re reading parts i had read to
make sure i got the most out of a particular scene or convergence of ideas
that at first escaped me, this didn’t take away anything i read or felt about
the book. With this in mind i had one request that i already talked with Colin
as i was reading the book and that was for me as a single person
with a wish list was a book that was more in-depth and bigger, Understanding
time and author constraints of any endeavour as big as book i am satisfied in
what i got and read. Waiting whole heatedly without spoiling any future plans
for the next book which if i understand correctly is already gracing paper in
part and form. Colin will vouch for the fact i pestered him for mnths for the
book when it was almost ready hahahaha ow the laughs we had…
Looking forward to the twists and turns between good and evil in the next book after having been introduced to all the characters in this one and being drawn into the labyrinth
Fantasy is not normally my genre but I thoroughly enjoyed this read. As the characters and their intentions revealed themselves I found myself being drawn further into the world of Elji and the Galrasse. Bring on volume 2!
Brilliant book by ken battrick
Outstanding.
From the first page, you are immersed into a world of such a magnitude that it
is breathtaking. Beautifully written and a storyline that takes you along a
winding, all-encompassing journey. I could easily see this as a film or series,
the words are almost poetic in their description. I can’t recommend this highly
enough to those who love fantasy, and beautifully written future materpiece.
Absolutely five star and beyond
I’ve been reading this Genre for many many years. I’ve not come across a book written with such passion. A brilliant read from the start. You are immersed into a world like no other and you just can’t put it down. Can’t wait for more.
5 out of 5 stars
This book was recommended to me as being a book I should read
because of my beliefs and experiences of a spiritual nature. It’s not one I
would naturally have picked up but I’m certainly glad I did.
It is a book that cleverly brings some beliefs
and ancient knowledge of human history and existence into a novel with well
thought out characters whom you identify with immediately and can understand
what they bring to the story easily.
To me, although there are no storyline
similarities, it does what Dan Brown did with the Da Vinci code in that it
opens the mind to some hidden truths and ideas and makes you want to understand
more but having said that it you want no more than to read a very good story it
will not disappoint.
It leaves you wanting to read more (which I
believe is coming ) and is certainly open to being picked up as a kind of ‘Game
of Thrones’ type of series
Highly recommended
5 out of stars
I feel as though I’ve been on the most magical and transcendent journey. The worlds that Colin Sinclair has created along with the wonderful characters are mesmerizing. I highly recommend Elji and the Galrass. You won’t be disappointed. It’s the best Fantasy novel I’ve ever read.
5 out of stars
Not my usual read and, although it took some time for me to work out who was who, I soon became gripped by the intricacies of this journey through time and the universe, and the battle between good and evil. Sinclair paints vivid pictures of many worlds, some strange and some more recognizable, and introduces the reader to many complex and interesting characters. This is book one of The Essence Sagas, I look forward to book two.
