To Muse: First in The Duir series
Emotionally driven , sometimes maddening, work of fiction that hints at a foundation of fantasy. To Muse is the first book in an evolving saga that explores identity and human attachment to a world that may not be what it seems. Raised in a small town by overbearing parents, Davinci McCaskil l is expected to follow in his parents’ footsteps and become a successful artist, but he never connected with the expectations of others. Lost and bored with his reality, Davinci discovers real connections that may be far more interesting - and life-changing in the most unexpected ways. With an amazing talent, he begins to paint things that cannot be explained away as simple muse. This inspiration has come from something that must be discovered on his own, leading down a path of emotional upheaval and unbelievable encounters. Follow along in a story that was originally inspired by a dream, and share in what it has become.

This story, following the character Davinci McCaskill, is a well-crafted work of fiction that explores the complexity of self-identity and purpose.
The writing style of the author drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked throughout the entire story. Each scene was described in such a way that I felt like I was sitting in the room with the characters; I could almost smell Davinci's apartment.
The story gained momentum with each chapter, and as it progressed, so did the elements of fantasy. I loved how each character developed throughout this novel. In many instances I felt conflicted about them, and in all cases, connected to each of their stories, struggles, and motivations.
The theme of self-discovery is embedded in every page of this book, and as I was reading, I kept thinking to myself that true discovery happens outside of our comfort zone. But, in Davinci's case, so much more exists there as well.
I truly enjoyed being immersed in this story, and look forward to reading the other novels written in this series by a talented author.
