Immortale

by Brendan Walsh

Twenty-six-year-old Pierce King has just been given his dream job at a publishing company, but his luck is twisted when an old, disheveled vagrant clobbers him in the nose with a fat book, and the world is suddenly drowning in magic.

In his journey to restore reality, he learns that various supernatural gangs have a stake in the outcome. Among Rex, a dragon he once unknowingly kept as a pet, the old vagrant, who is more than he seems, and Hell itself, Pierce knows he has to find someone to trust if he’s going to stop the wrong team from creating a magical dystopia.

Sadly, his best options are a magical uptight rabbit and a demon who was an orca in his mortal life. And if that's not bad enough, the woman he's about to marry has been turned into a troll.

Reviews

[Joe Walsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I generally read histories, biographies, and police procedurals. However, last year a read Walsh's "The Raven Gang" (a mystery/sci-fi/fantasy) and enjoyed it. I recently read Walsh's latest, "Immortale" which is more of a sci-fi, I enjoyed it immensely. I loved the main character "Pierce". The plot was unique and the characters were well-drawn. I can't wait for his third entry.

I think I didn't do too badly with this novel.

I am not usually a reader of fantasy, but I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to read Immortale! It's a page turner, and kept my attention from start to finish. I read in two days because I couldn't put it down. I don't read fantasy because it is difficult for me to grasp the different elements that aren't part of the natural world, but this author does a phenomenal job of laying it out and explaining the world he is creating. He makes magic come alive with his witty humor and creativity within the characters, plot, and climax. This book is highly recommended!
