It is time for another book review and this time I want to
tell you about Rojuun by John H. Carroll. I quite enjoyed this little flight of
fantasy. Rojuun is John first book, and also the first in a three part series.
John is a natural storyteller, and sets up an interesting cast of characters.
There is the rogue thief, the ghost of a long dead knight, the dragon in human
form, and the naive country girl with a serious talent for magic.
John sends this unlikely troupe out into a magical forest
filled with druids, abandoned cities, castles, and underground cities built by
alien creatures. This is a rollicking good tale with dangers lurking around
every corner for our adventurers. Great fun.
You can find Rojuun here:
The only rough spots here are the unpronounceable names and occasionally
a little too much description, but these things are minor. I give this five
stars for a debut novel. A nice fun read.

"...a rollicking good tale with dangers lurking around every corner..." May we all get such fab reviews! Well done, Prudence. Thanks for introducing us to Carroll's work.
ReplyDeleteHi August, it was a fun read. Did you see my post about the guitar player? I was thinking of you when I wrote it.
DeleteMy goodness, what an exciting group of characters. I usually don't read the fantasy genre, but this one sounds intriguing. Thanks for the suggestion.
