Enclave - Creation

by Rafael Soares, Bernardo Soares (Illustrator), Magdalena Gryglik (Illustrator)

In the earliest stage of the Universe, a sentient and powerful race found itself trapped within the confines of civil war. While countless factions were formed and thoroughly vanquished, other individuals sought to remain neutral and pursue their own objectives in the current dimension without taking sides. Sooner or later however, everyone had to face the same question, to either oppose or to submit.

The story begins with Aurindor, a brave and joust warrior who wanders the immensity of the expanding universe seeking to help the oppressed and to bring justice to the perpetrators of condemnable acts. In a similar situation like so many others that happened before, Aurindor will end up meeting one of his kind willing to join him in the quest for justice. He had no idea however, that such an encounter would then trigger many other adventures later on.

Enclave is the first title in the universe related to Chaotic Order. It briefly explains the events that had passed before its beginning as well as setting the first story in the series. This project was also designed with the intent for being published through digital means (which does not invalidate a physical release later on). Since self publishing was the only decent way to get the project in the market, it was decided to include frames of the character's before their dialogue lines, thus changing a little what the reader of this kind of literature is used to.

At the first look we’re introduced to a new environment with new species. As the story evolves you become better acquainted with their features, faults and qualities. There’s also some mysteries around the plot and the current state of the race, some are solved on this book, the others I hope to see them uncovered in the next titles.

As you read you might think that there are things that are being repetitive, it’s a little too predictable, but at the end it has a lot more action and things going on, so when you think about stopping, don’t, read it until the end, you won’t regret it.

One of the features I like the most about this book is that it has images of the characters when they speak. This helps knowing who is talking which is very helpful with long discussions that multiple characters are having all at the same time.

Another thing that’s very interesting is that when a new character is introduced, at the end of the chapter there’s a full image of him/her. It makes you understand how these characters are portrayed in the story.

I really hope be able to see the next books of Enclave, because this was just the beginning, now I want to know more.

I really recommend this book to everyone who is into fantasy and action, even though that this is a different kind of fantasy. I can tell that there won’t be any dragons, elfs nor dwarfs in this title.
