Identity

by Shane L. Coffey

Joseph is a quiet man. The only thing he enjoys more than nature and the hunt is being left alone…but when a refugee elf appears in his forest with a war band at her heels, this solitary hunter has only moments to decide whether he wants to become something more. Unfortunately, he quickly learns that the entire clan of refugee elves has already made that decision for him. Prepare for a tale of adventure and suspense in which prophecy goes only so far. Through chases and battles, destiny and grief, the Windrider clan will learn their true fate, and Joseph will have one last chance to test his mettle and choose his Identity.

Charming fantasy tale that pulled me in from the outset. I don't often read this genre but I really enjoyed this adventure of Joseph, a solitary man and skilled hunter of the forest, who is burdened with longing for his deceased half-elf wife, Delia, the overwhelming love of his life.
It is during a daring rescue, led by Joseph, of some elves held captive in a castle that he finds true community with these clever people of the forest.
Good quality writing in a story that really bounces along.

Fun short story with interesting characters and fast-paced action.

This is Joseph’s story, the beginning of his tale, although not the beginning of his life. Joseph is a loner, and he quite likes it that way from what I can tell. He is a man that enjoys the forest and the hunt and with the death of his love, he wants nothing more than to hide away in the forest and survive. But life never ends up the way we want it, and Joseph’s life takes a sharp turn when an elf appears in his forest with dogs on her tail, and a prophecy to share that will that will change his solitary life forever as well as question his very existence.

What a fun read this story was. It was quick and entertaining with fantastic characters that lead you on chases and through battles with an old world fantasy charm you have to love, or at least I did. The question of what would I do in Joseph’s shoes played in my head many times throughout the story.

I give the book a 5 star rating and it deserves it. The author has a way of landing you at the first sentence right into the action and never giving you a chance to slow it down. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series.

Very nice introduction

I am in a constant mode of trying to find the diamonds in the rough of fantasy writing. This book fit the bill for a brief glimpse into a main character. Joseph is a relatable antagonist and the book is overall well written. If the next two are as good I am in for a treat. I am not the type of person to tell you what happens, so get the book and find out yourself! I will be getting the next.
