The story itself is narrated by Onet, who happens to be a Khaz. Think little gray alien guy that might land in Area 51. Except Onet is albino and has red eyes. He's watching all this unfold, waiting for his chance to stop the evil that his own kind started, which spread through a goddess-type being called Shu, and continued through her horrible creations of berserker warriors.
Murder, war, and mayhem reign throughout this book, while the main characters try very hard to live normal lives. Their efforts are always ripped out from under them, and I sympathized with the tortuous events they lived through. On the other hand, I kept wishing for more character depth. I'm really partial to character-driven novels, and this one seems mostly plot-driven. For me, I would have liked to have been inside the characters' heads more, really feeling what they feel.
If you like sci-fi packed with battles, futuristic weapons and modes of transport, you'll like "Onet's Tale". Pick up your copy at Amazon.com today!
Thanks for the review Mysti, much appreciated :))
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Glad I could read it!
ReplyDeleteThis is an impressive review. I'm not surprised Jack was delighted. I've been over to Amazon to check it out. If I could have read page one my cash might have been winging its way over. Can Jack get that done?
ReplyDeleteI will recommend this to my H. Thanks for the review Mysti.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Elaine, I've passed on your request to Jack already. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteYou can read page one, but unfortunately not on Amazon.co.uk. Instead log on to Amazon.com in the States where they have the "read inside" system set up for people curious to read the first few pages. Failing that, you can download a sample if you use Kindle, both here in the UK and elsewhere.
Hope that helps you Elaine
Sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou have an award on my blog.
