This is the first book of an eight part series. A fantasy in which a set of triplets explore the magical world of The Dea. A world of heroes and villains. The brothers uncover many relics and mysteries that will help us in the future. Lots of fantasy, adventure, drama, suspense, and mystery. An interesting read

Good fun read! Loved the way the story flows with the brothers exploring some of the locations of Dea. The strengths and weaknesses of the trio adds an interesting depth to how they handle situations. I loved the heroes... and despised the villain!

Great, well written read. Follows through with no problem of getting lost in the story line. Book 2 to read soon! Lots of excitement. Lots of characters, but no problems keeping up with them all!

I can't review this as a complete read because I didn't finish the book. In fact, I barely made it to the 2nd chapter.
This was for a few reasons. 1) Formatting. Lack of linebreaks made this too difficult to follow. Seriously, if you are only releasing ebooks, there's no reason NOT to have linebreaks between paragraphs. Americans, fucking learn this and take it in!
2) Style. It felt from reading that KC is a fairly new writer. Things didn't jump off the page, the pacing felt pedestrian even during an action scene. I wasn't drawn in, to the degree that I gave up reading in the second chapter.
I was given this book for free, so I can't complain. I'm not sure what it costs normally. The blurb for the book pulled me in and got me to want to read it, but sadly the book itself simply doesn't follow up on the promise of the blurb.

A stolen artifact could lead to an adventure of epic proportions in Solas: The Brothers Locke Episode 1 by K.C. Hunter.
To read this, and other book reviews, visit my website: http://makinggoodstories.wordpress.com/.
Triplets, the Locke brothers fancy themselves as Master Thieves and are rather effective at stealing, which makes them highly sought after contractors for difficult jobs. Echo, Mouth, and Sharp each have an enhancement and impairment to one of their senses, offering them unique advantages and disadvantages on the job and in life. Having stolen a mysterious box from a wealthy man in The Dea, the curiosity of Mouth leads him to open the box and he’s realized the real value of what they’ve stolen and his talkative nature lands the brothers in some trouble to try and escape from. As they do, the brothers are joined by a few adults and embark on a spectacular survival adventure.
Starting in on action with a chase, the narrative continues to move at a quick pace as more action unfolds around the triplets, whose distinct personalities and attributes are hastily introduced. Clearly an initial installment in this series that serves as the inciting incident for the adventures yet to come, there’s not a significant amount of depth or complexity offered as yet for the characters or world building, but there are intriguing elements introduced about both the characters and their surrounding world to pique reader interest and investment in continuing on. I appreciated the information provided before the story began that informed readers that this is part of a series, that there’s more to the world of The Dea than is presented here, and that there’s more that can be interacted with online regarding this series as it helped to provide cursory context for this story within that larger imagined world.
Overall, I’d give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
