Pteridophyta 1

This was a great adventure fantasy. There’s a powerful opening that grabs your attention and draws you in, and what follows is an unforgettable adventure. The unlikely crew faces many obstacles in their quest to rescue those who were kidnapped. The world is well-built, and I loved the way Pteri’s magic worked. The characters have their own backgrounds and beliefs they bring with them, bound together by a common purpose. I really enjoyed learning more about each of them as the story progressed. There’s a bit of violence in the story, so if that’s not your cup of tea, you may want to skip this one. Otherwise, it’s a great fantasy, and I look forward to reading more.

I’m just a normal somebody. Fifty-three years old. Not married. No kids. Work as a cook. Like cats and plants. Started to write when I ran out of books to read. Live in the oldest house in town, in a flat in an historical building… that’s about it.
