About Book: The Sun God Suriyar has two children with mortal Ourania; Assyri, a daughter, and Bolara, a son. As demigods, they have unique powers, and as royalty, they are positioned for greatness. Family dynamics are tested and boil over, as older daughter Assyri ascends the throne. Furious that his sister is in charge, Bolara plots to overthrow her and rule as a tyrant. Queen Assyri’s two children must learn to hone their abilities to combat the evil that is at hand, and in doing so, become sworn enemies of their own cousins, Bolara’s children, who have been taught to use their powers for ruthless domination, by the mighty General Thamios. A powerful story of betrayal, violence, passion, and finding one’s inner strength, with epic battles involving Dragons, Tolverines (a wolf like creature the size of an elephant), Lawky’s (a mystical bird with healing properties), and highly skilled demigods, with uncanny abilities. The stakes are high, and the action is compelling. The DemiGods of Pendilor are about to collide!
My Thoughts: Â The Lost Soul which is part of the Demigods of Pendilor Trilogy by Lawrence E Jayaraj was supplied to me by the author in return for an honest review.
The Prologue has a lot of detail in it and helped me with the relationships in the story, for me a must read to hit the first page with full enjoyment, as I know many don’t read the prologues.
The descriptive prose flows with ease from the start and is a captivating journey into a richly imagined world filled with intricate characters that develop over time building a much more detailed picture. Jayaraj skilfully weaves together elements of fantasy and adventure, that kept me engaged from start to finish. The depth of the demigods struggles, and the vivid descriptions made the narrative more immersive. However, while the pacing is generally well maintained, there were moments when a slightly quicker tempo would have added more excitement for me personally. Overall, a must read for fans of fantasy, offering a unique and enchanting experience and one I would recommend.
