Maycly

This is the
first volume in a six volume series, of epic fantasy novels.
Iona has been happily married to Cole
for the last five years. They live close to Iona’s parents Ann and Leonard. Over the past
several months Iona
had become the victim to several chronic health issues, so she depended on her
husband and parents help. But when Iona’s family mysteriously go missing, Iona is forced to fend for herself. She
has not been able to hold a job since the start of her illness and as time goes
by she falls on hard times and loses everything. She has reached the end of her
stash of emergency money and now she is about to be made homeless.
She had not
given up on trying finding out what had happened to her family but she was
becoming bitter. She had trusted SUL (Sorcerer of Unequivocal Leadership). SUL
is a grand wizard creator of planets Earth and Maycly. Iona no longer trusts or believes in
SUL.
When she is
about to be evicted from her home a puppy called Wiskee is left on her
doorstep. She becomes attached to the dog and keeps him. They are forced to
sleep rough until a stranger offers them an apartment that they can stay in.
This is
where the story begins to change and develop suddenly we go back to one hundred
years ago and we learn all about Maycly. Giving the reader the background to
what is Iona’s destiny. There is a fierce battle
going on between good and evil.
Iona had longed for adventure but this
was not exactly the adventure she had in her mind.
Will Iona discover what happened to her
family?
Will she be
strong enough to face her destiny?
Good or
Evil which will prevail?
This epic
book is packed full with action, adventure, twists and turns and recipes!
It is a
bumper of a book over three hundred pages long. There is a lot of detail and
characters to take in and to help the reader do this there are some beautiful
full colour illustrations. This is a brilliant idea because the reader gets to
see just what Maycly is like and there so many wonderful characters and
creatures, that it would be difficult to keep up with all the information with
out the pictures.
I liked the
character Iona and I will look forward to reading
the other books in this series and seeing how Iona’s character develops. Maycly is a
magical book it takes you back to that lovely childhood feeling of when you
still believed in the tooth fairy.

What a fantastic review Nikki and having met Janet and talked about Maycly I can't wait to read it myself. For a new author to start out with such a HUGE concept - and such a sizeable volume 1 - this is in anyone's vocabulary an EPIC. Let's hope someone out there is 'big enough' to handle the entire series and give this the exposure it deserves.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linn. I hope so too x
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I want to say a huge thank you to you Nikki for such a stunning review. Just to let you know, I shed a tear of overwhelming joy regarding the tooth fairy comment - that's exactly the feeling I was going for! Appreciate you taking the time to read and review. Secondly, Linn, thanks for stopping by. I know your busy schedule and deeply appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. Your words of encouragement are simply brilliant. Thank you both! ~Janet~
ReplyDeleteI have been following the development of this epic with the author and can't wait to read the book. The illustrations throughout the book was such a great idea. It can really give the reader a great glimpse of the character.
