Legends Lost- a journey of surprises,
In order to illustrate the cover, I was given a short synopsis of the characters and a short bit of the first chapter. Intrigued, I requested the entire "rough draft" prior to it's publication and read a tremendous amount in order to get a feel for the landscape, and of the three main character's personalities. I then was able to conceive the covers, both front and back. The book was "put to bed". Weeks later, I was sent my complimentary copy, signed, of course by the author for my bookshelf, and an additional copy for my local library. That night, I started reading it again... and was lost in the legend until the wee hours of the morning. I decided to take a "day off" and continued to read it all that day until I finally finished it.

My review is that is it one of those rare stories that cannot be "put down". Each chapter leads one into the next, the action is continuous, and easily seen in one's mind's eye. The characters are not only believable but memorable. I sincerely await the next legend, not because I want to illustrate it's cover, but because I wish to go back to Tesnayr.

My local librarian, said it best: "Thank you", I'll let the rest of our patrons read it after I'm done."

In short...

"Couldn't put it down" ... "Can't wait for the next Legend."

Deserves more attention!
Ambrosse is the last true heir of Tesnaryr and she is the one destined to unite the divided lands and save it from the tyrant, Clymorus. Clymorus lived 300 years ago, but before his death, stored all his powers in a necklace. This necklace, which was lost across centuries, finally got into the possession of Ambrosse, who sets out to destroy it. She was accompanies with many interesting friends on the way.

Ambrosse experiences loss, love, friendship, adventure, fear and leadership for the first time in her life. The perilous journey transforms her as a leader, from an ordinary girl.

Great plot, writing, world-building and characters. I just have one complaint..there is over-explanation at many places, which makes the book huge - 3 parts. But, as the plot is interesting, one can't give up.

Recommended to fantasy lovers!

Love it!
I want to start by saying that I absolutely loved this book. I loved the Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones type feel it had. The writing style was simply amazing, making it easy to dive into this book, while making it hard to put it down. The story line itself was just great and kept me wanting to read more. Definitely one of those "I really should get to bed, but maybe after just one more chapter" types.

I loved Amboreses' character. I love the way that she is introduced into the story, and then the way you get to see her character truly grow. She starts off as a peasant girl, but then learns that she is really heir to the throne that has been empty for hundreds of years. I honestly hope that the author continues this series, as it is one that I will continue to read. Well worth the time!
