Chosen Guardians of the Word Book 1 eBook Jolea M Harrison

What's Hot:
A great story with a full-on plot that seldom lets up. The world created is a fascinating blend of science-fiction and fantasy, with an emphasis on the latter. This book begins with high drama and the tantalising wiff of a ghost, before plunging into a convincingly realised fight to save the Universe. Tension is created by a chillingly specific vision of the future that then hangs over the characters. There is a real sense of threat, as the story hurtles into horror and the prophecy is steadily fulfilled. This book will keep you reading.

What's Not:
The writing is very competent, but the choice of words is not usually inspired and the grammar is sometimes awkward. Descriptions can be a little confused, with movements between minds and bodies sometimes hard to follow. The action is not as well described as it could be and it can be tricky to imagine exactly what is happening. There was a lengthiness to some parts (such as infiltrating the hospital) that had me skip reading and could have been condensed. There was some excellent characterisation, but also a lot that was more cliched, or tantalisingly unrealised. The lack of more interaction with Dain on his own was ultimately disappointing.

Summary:
A great read and at the price a no-brainer. Occasional lapses in the narrative, with weak descriptions, are more than compensated for by the sparkle of the story.

Chosen Guardians of the Word Book 1 eBook Jolea M Harrison Reviews

I am trying to understand what the author wanted to do with this book. The basis is a dungeons and dragons story mixed with sci-fi and a few splashes of paranormal activity. The story could stand to be expanded especially the background of the characters both present and ancient. Minor characters are introduced with only rudimentary explanation.

What I really find irritating is the premise that the worlds, solar system and possibly the universe is destroyed every 1000 years if the evil ones are not stopped. The author does not stay with one idea in the book. First mention is that if the evil ones are not stopped then the civilization on one planet is destroyed, then on all the planets in the solar system and then it appears all life in the galaxy is in peril. This is just poor editing. this is just one of the inconsistencies in this book. Another one is the mixture of a primitive feudal society with advanced scientific medical and military hardware. My question for the author is this; How does civilization recover in only a thousands years to discover the science and the engineering necessary to make the advanced devices that are used in the book?

I do not particularly like the ending, which I will not give away. The ending of this book is a set up for the next book.

I will say this, this author has a way of writing outdoor scenes descriptively that really shows the she has spent time understanding how to do this well.
This is a tough one for me to review. There was a lot I liked about it, but I wanted … more.

First off, I think this was well written. It all flowed nicely, and the pacing was great. The book was a quick read with each page urging you to the next. I was pleasantly surprised.

The reason for my conflict is partly because based on my reading preferences I shouldn’t have liked this book. I don’t pick up young adult because the characters are usually super whiny or just plain annoying. Don’t get me started on all the love triangles that ruin young adult books. I didn’t realize the characters were young when I downloaded this. However, they were well written. Certainly they had a youthful flair, but not in the normal “Why me?” voice. And bless Harrison, she kept out love triangles. But not only was this YA, it also had some sci-fi elements woven into the story. (And if you remember I usually struggle with sci-fi.) Honestly, I wish there weren’t. The mesh never really seemed to work for me, but luckily it wasn’t a focus of any part of the story so it never distracted from the plot.

My other reason I didn’t fall in love was the twins’ relationship. I love siblings in books. Seriously love it. I wish there were more, and it was a major reason I started reading this book. They are close and extremely involved with each other, but we never really see that close relationship. We’re told, and only a handful of examples are shown, and none really give me that deep connection that’s supposed to be there. Now, this is the first book, so perhaps that will happen more in the next one, but it felt a bit lacking for me.

Despite this, I did enjoy both brothers. They had unique voices. Matter of fact, I liked all the PoV’s we were given. The characters were developed barely enough to keep me interested, and it left me wanting more. I kept wanting to explore their inner thoughts just a bit longer than the author.

As for the world, it was interesting enough for a reader like me that doesn’t get super excited over complicated worlds. I enjoyed that I got enough details thrown in here and there to grow the scenes and history, but none of it bogged down the flow of the story.

What I loved most was the setting. One character gets stuck in a purgatory/hell-like setting. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you if he/she actually died or if his,her soul is merely sent there while his/her body is alive. The gory setting is awesome. And it is gory. Harrison does a good job setting up suspense, and those scenes where our character is hunted are pretty awesome. It makes it a fast read.

Besides my complaint about the brothers lacking a showing relationship, I must say the climax in purgatory had me very confused. I might have read it too quick, but I never felt very grounded in the scene. Matter of fact, there were a few scenes that left me floating without a good visual, while others were painted wonderfully.

Overall, I might be wishy-washy on this, but I think it’s a good, fast read, especially for those who like a bit of demon/hell activity and some gore.
