The Starwielder: The Trinity
After being sustained in a state of hibernation for half a millennium inside an obsidian capsule, Minax Bolide is suddenly freed of his volcanic resting place during an eruption. He is the next Starwielder, awakened by what appears at first to be random happenstance.
Cyngosa Maelstrom and Khelu Odena are non-related siblings but growing up together from very rough, but different backgrounds in the same town of Olcan. Cyngosa's birth had tragic consequences, and grew up in a broken household. Khelu was a child orphan and refugee, the sole survivor of her family's escape attempt from a terrible war. Cyngosa has been haunted by visions from angels, visiting him periodically in his dreams since he was a child. Warning of an impeding cosmic evil, arriving to destroy and harvest their world's souls at an unknown time and date .
When a previous mercenary employer approaches 'Straywolf' and 'Paradigm' the alter ego names Cyngosa and Khelu use for the illegal freelance and mercenary work in their adult years, with a special job. A once in a lifetime kind of offer they couldn't refuse, but with equal parts risk and reward. Dorrion requires the archeological and academic skills Khelu possesses, as well as Cyngosa's amplified magical abilities, to complete his study of special landmarks belonging to the extinct Galanexians, and unravel a conspiracy surrounding the truth of their extinction. One of Dorrion's passion projects has always been to restore Minax's kind and developed his invention The Genesis Machine, hopefully using Minax's DNA as a catalyst once they. Dorrion Chrisbane is an older and quirky wealthy philanthropist, with successful enterprises in biology and other fields of science. He hopes to pass his knowledge and experiences on to new members of the ancient and powerful secret society he's been part of for decades, Trinity Of Tranquility in it's everlasting battle against diabolic evil and existential threats from their world, or from the dimensions beyond!
Dorrion had failed o save his life long best when there is a breach and identities become exposed to ambitious enemies. Saaliha Moonwane, Adaros's youngest daughter is the only known member of her family left alive from a viscous ambush. Minax discovers them, attracted to a magnificent holy weapon relic Saaliha has in her possession after the attack. The Moonwane's had guarded this weapon, called Alpha and Omega, for generations and its true power could only be unleashed by the Starwielder.
Minax Bolide comes to understand the true nature of his destiny, from Cyngosa's nightmare vision. Minax, as the last of his kind, and upholding his duty as the Starwielder must now save a world that predominately reviles his very existance. The group of newfound misfit friends now face personal obstacles, opportunistic governments with their own agenda's, and other evil forces competing for expansion, influence and power.

What a fun read! I loved the action and the complexities of the plot as it slowly unfolded in the midst of a huge heist and a massive shadow governmental operation. It had a little sci-fi, a little fantasy, some interesting magic and a ton of intrigue. The characters are all anthropomorphic animals, ranging from wolves, to different feline's and more and this adds a unique dynamic to the book, especially during the action scenes and with the little descriptions of the characters reactions. As an older reader, it gave me vibes of ThunderCats in a lot of cool ways, and it also sorta gave me vibes of a more gritty, dark, futuristic Zootopia...and I do not mean that in a "kids move" sort of way. The way the world is built, the breeds of animals having their own history (and there is definitely some subtle commentary on prejudice), and the vast overreach of a shady government...all in all I'm beyond excited to continue to story because it feels like it is getting more epic. It took me a little bit to get used to the present tense prose and a few of the names of the characters, places and races took me a second to sort out as well, but I attribute that more to my reading style than the author. Excited to read more in this world!

If Star Troopers, Avatar, Men in Black, and Voltron had a dazzling, intergalactic child, it would grow up to be Star Weilder by Ian Cassidy. This book rockets readers into a vividly imagined universe where every world feels tactile, every creature bursts with personality, and every battle shines with cinematic brilliance. Cassidy’s world-building is nothing short of breathtaking , his descriptions are so immersive and detailed that you can practically feel the pulse of alien suns and taste the metallic tang of a starport’s air.Despite its serious tone, I found myself laughing out loud more than once. Maybe it’s my imagination running wild, but I couldn’t help picturing the heroic animal characters as over-the-top furries rather than realistic beasts, and honestly, it made the entire experience even more amusing.Star Weilder is ambitious and grand in scale, a feast for readers who crave visual storytelling with heart and humor. It’s a four-star adventure that doesn’t just take you to another world ; it builds an entire galaxy around you.

The world building in this story was amazing! Not only did the author create entire new and beautifully described worlds but he also created a world where animals have been transformed into intelligent, some even wielding magic, beings. But beyond the beautiful foundation, this story was just as intriguing. A group of random creatures comes together to try and fight back against the evil that is corrupting their cities. Mixed amongst that group of misfits is a creature that rose from an erupting volcano where he had been hibernating for hundreds of years. As the last of his kind, and unique magic to wield, he helps the others to protect their cities and stop the corruption around them. Amazing read and I highly suggest others pick it up as well as the second book!

The world building in this book is wild. The characters are all humanoid animals with their own backgrounds and species. It follows multiple characters in a third person pov. I struggled with the present tense at first but it got easier as I went on but not due to the authors writing, just personal preference. You get interesting backstories from many of the characters. Lots of action. Very interesting read!

The author wrote this story with so much detail, I felt as if I was in the world and seeing everything first hand. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the world building. I would love this story to be made into an anime or graphic novel.
