The Third Realm

by Charmaine Theron

When Ash, a 16-year-old city-slicker awakens in the Third Realm, he has no recollection of who he is or where he comes from. Chosen by the City of Seraph’s Guardians to be a soldier in their elite army, he quickly discovers that this is not his ultimate destiny.

In the Under Realm, a dark force is rising – Drakon and his followers, The Fallen, have resurrected their army, the Dark Legion and they prepare to invade the City.

The Guardians and Ash will do everything in their power to protect their City. But Drakon has come prepared – what was once lost is now in his possession. And nothing can stand in his way – not even the Fifth Guardian, the most powerful of them all.

2.5 stars

I found the timeline a little disjointed. Things felt like they jumped forward at times and people seemed to build really strong and loyal relationships within hours of meeting. Also, from what I gathered, Ash and the other neophytes arrived as very confused teenagers who had no idea where they were or how the society worked, yet were already well integrated and behaving like long term citizens after what seemed to be a few days.

The story itself has potential and if part two becomes available for free, I might give it a go. I won't be buying the next installment though.

Great story

Fabulous world building and story. I could picture this wholly and kept me involved fully. Looking forward for the next one.
