All the epic fantasy adventures of Anders Sword Bearer and Wind Rider, two full-length novels, are collected here in one omnibus book for a combined lower price.
Magic swords, an evil uncle, untamed dragons, epic battles
You swing a staff until you're ready to swing a sword. Then you go on all kinds of adventures - fighting monsters, casting spells, and saving damsels in distress. At least that's how it's supposed to work, but I didn't believe a word of it.
Fantasy adventure for dragon fans of all ages
Two forms of power - natural and chemical - divide the world. Dragons, who keep the chemical power in check, have long retreated from human sight; few still believe in them. Inside a castle surrounded by Tuscan hills more and more threatened by chemical forces, 16-year-old Anders lives a sheltered life. But much as his parents try, Anders can't avoid the forces that threaten....
It's "standard" fantasy fare, a story of a boy with a lost history of being a prince, learning about magic and the world in a whirlwind of discovery and battles, fighting a dark lord, who happens to be his uncle...
Still it's an enjoyable read, with magic, friends found and lost and of course dragons!
You swing a staff until you're ready to swing a sword. Then you go on all kinds of adventures -- fighting monsters, casting spells and saving damsels in distress. This is the sum of our hero's tude! Great read, page turner nails you to the floor and doesn't let up. The end comes up so quick you ask yourself did I just finish that?
I downloaded this copy from smashwords, and although it claims to be an omnibus edition, it ends after the first book, and doesn't include the second one. Anyway, the writing on this one was what I would consider subpar. It was a decent enough story, but gaps in the storyline, miraculous coincidences to move the story along, and unbelievably naive characters make this one feel like it was written by a teenager. If you're looking for a quick story to pass the time, then this one is ok, but if you're looking for something to sink your teeth into, and really get settled in a fantasy world with plenty to keep the imagination busy, then give this one a pass. The story is good enough, but both character development and decent plot lines were lacking in this one. It was free, so I'm not complaining, however, I don't think I'll be picking up anymore by this author for the near future.
This book was a recommendation by Amazon. I wasn't sure that it would be something that I would enjoy, as it is about a 16 year old boy. I will say after reading the first book in the series that I had to find out what happened next. The two books in the series are written to keep you turning pages. This is a read that you do not want to put down until done. The only complaint that I have is where is the next book in the series? It has been too long between book 2 and book 3!
Very good story! Enjoyed the ride immensely. As an avid reader found the story refreshing and fun. Would recommend to all ages. :) Enjoy! Can't wait to try more of his writings.
