Good book. I enjoyed the book. It's better than most of it's type story. I recemmend it hightly. I think there are places where the same dialog stated over and over, but the goodness of the characters more than make up for it. There is sex only at the end. They could have waited until they had married, but things as they are I guess people expect it.Product details

Shadowbane Age of Aelfborn edition by Paul Francois Children eBooks Reviews
Shadowbane Age of Aelfborn written by Paul Francois is what I understand to be the beginning of an epic fantasy tale or at least the door is left open for there to be more to the story. It is the tale in which our young hero must traverse his world amid constant strife to rescue his sister and fulfill a destiny ordained by the All-Father.
Shadowbane caught my interest as having been said to have similarities to Tolkien and Salvatore books; both of whom are two of my favorite authors. I love an epic fantasy tale so definitely had to read this one. It did in fact share some similarities but did not quite reach the level of craftsmanship.
The story overall was good but there were a few things that bothered me and kept me from really enjoying it. First of all our young hero, Megildur, who started out an inexperienced schoolboy in a small village, seemed to take to commanding and strategy too well and too fast. Now I understand an author doesn't have the time and space to develop the hero's skills too slowly but a few mis-starts would've helped. Where he started out being respectful to people he later was often disrespectful which appeared to have something to do with making people see him as a commander but I definitely had problems when he treated his parents with that disrespect. At one point he did apologize to his mother for his behavior but too many times he didn't appear to notice it. Now I understand this is based on a video game of which I am unfamiliar so the behaviors I have issues with may just be keeping him in character with the game. Also while on the topic of behavior the characters smirked a little too much.
Another issue I had with the book was vocabulary and word tenses. Some of the vocabulary didn't seem to me to fit the context of the sentence so threw me out of the story as I tried to determine exactly what the author was trying to convey. Possibly those words had obscure meanings I wasn't familiar with but the most common meanings didn't fit. Also there were times when the tenses didn't seem right so once again it threw me out of the story while I tried to figure out the correct one. Also I am no English major so I could be wrong; the vocabulary and tenses could've been perfectly correct. This may not bother some people and for those I say definitely read this; you will very likely get the enjoyment of the story that I lost from it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book which I am voluntarily reviewing. As should be obvious, the opinions are my own.
Update some of you may have read my review when I first posted it and wondered why I changed my rating. My rating changed because I ran across some postings where people were talking about how they rated books they reviewed and realized I was being a little harsh in my rating system. I rated by how much I enjoyed books using more of a hated, didn't like, liked, really liked and loved system so in my book a 3 star was not a bad rating it was good , 4 stars were better and 5 stars were best the 5 stars were books I immediately wanted sequels, made me really think, or really moved me in some way. Apparently that is not how others look at that system and I may be making people rethink purchasing a very good book, so keeping this in mind I will start looking at books a little differently in the future.
I really enjoyed this epic fantasy almost video game style book. The author said he was inspired by Tolkien and you can definitely see it as well as hints of other fantasy writers like Salvatore and there's even a slight Percy Jackson feel but In a much different atmosphere.
Megildur, the hero of this story, is a young boy half human & half elf- an Aelfborn. This means he has characteristics from both races but a curse was put on all Aelfborn by the Elven Queen Silesteree Allvolanar when humans and elves decided to first procreate and the aelfborn can not themselves have heirs. Aranel, his very young sister is very whiney and persists til she gets her way- so it's no surprise she is easily captured (even in hiding) when their village called Fort Viatrus (that is supposed to be safe for humans, Aelfborn and half-giants) is attacked by full-blood Elves. When people die in this fantasy world they re-spawn somewhere else but none the less Megildur's father Aedan tells him he is in charge of the family now and tells him to protect his mother Vanya & sister Aranel. His mother dies (re-spawns elsewhere) so it's only his sister he is in charge of but he failed when she was kidnapped. He himself dies but before he re-spawns he finds out from the great and almighty All-Father that he is on a mission. A life changing mission for chosen yet ordinary boy to find the great sword Shadowborn from the Tree of Life all while he is on a separate quest to find & rescue his sister. It's very fun to read a book that feels like a great video game and even has Arthurian themes to it. The mystical "bosses" he faces and fights range from monsters from all ends of fantasy and mythology.
Since I am a fan of fantasy and a gamer I truly enjoyed this book and loved the manner in which it was written. If you like Tolkien or even mmorpg/rpgs I think you will greatly enjoy this book as I have!
Appreciated all the different types, genders, body configurations, different belief systems and all the other creative enjoyable memorable persons met.
Good book. I enjoyed the book. It's better than most of it's type story. I recemmend it hightly. I think there are places where the same dialog stated over and over, but the goodness of the characters more than make up for it. There is sex only at the end.
