Synopsis:

She is from the past, locked inside a world within a world.

He is from the future, haunted by her death.

A sensible young nobleman and his fiery sister live in an experimental medieval village. Sealed inside this biodome since infancy, Leaf and Willow have been groomed by The Code to build a sustainable world, one devoid of Outsider interference. One that believes death will give way to life.

All is ideal until their father bequeaths a family secret with his dying breath, placing an invisible crown of power on Leaf’s head. Now everyone in their quiet town is suspect. Risking banishment, the siblings search for clues, leading them to Fillion Nichols, an Outsider with a shocking connection to their family. Their encounter launches Fillion into battle with his turbulent past as he rushes to decode the many secrets that bind their future together–a necessity if they are all to survive.

Cultures clash in an unforgettable quest for truth, unfolding a story rich in mystery, betrayal, and love.

This was a very unique book! It took me a while to get a grip on what kind of story it was—then once that was settled, it really is a fascinating book! Two really different worlds that are related in more ways than one, begin to intertwine.

I was impressed with the authors ability to craft great scenes throughout the book. It really sparked my interest and kept me turning the pages. This certainly helps to draw the reader deeper into the book.  The second was the point of view. I admire the skill to not only craft scenes, but also convey the moods, feelings of the characters involved.

NARRATOR PERFORMANCE

Narrated by:  Sunil Patel

 

• Narrator-Story Connection: 8/10

I thought the narrator did a job of immersing himself into the essence of the story.

 

• Voice Quality: 10/10

This is a strength of the narrator in my opinion. I loved Sunil Patel’s unique voice. Very distinct that brings a certain quality to the story.

 

• Voice Switch Over:  6/10

This is where I rate how well the narrator creates character voices, and switching between them. I thought this was the weakest point of the performance.  At times it was difficulty to discern who was speaking.

 

• Pacing 6/10

A bit fast paced for my taste but not bad. It still kept me going, but at times I lost track.

 

• Emphasis 7/10

I thought the character voices could’ve used more emphasis to bring out their personality. There good emphasis in some parts, so probably this is more inconsistency.

 

• Reader-Story Connection 7/10

The performance kept my interest, intrigue going. The beginning was probably the most challenging, but after that it improved.

 

• Sound Quality: 7/10

Publisher:  Forest Tales Publishing

The sound quality could definitely use some work. There’s a slight background noise that detracted from the story, but once I got used to it I was able to tune it out.

 

• Overall Performance: 7/10

 

I think the narrator has a quality voice that is very rich and unique.  His emphasis and narrative voice make up for the other parts of the performance. When it’s all said and done, it kept me listening.
