Farling's Wall

by Chris Turner

A band of adventurers flee from Sloe, the fabled Blue City of the south, as lowly outlaws wanted for stealing a glamorous princess. Their fate—a perilous plod through the Brauvn forest to come to the gates of Farling’s Wall and the realm of the Wickles.

Be wary! not scary, and don’t tarry by the gloom of Farling’s Wall...
—Old limerick

In this rich journey of adventure, villainy, and sophisticated language, heroism prevails and spellcraft brings captivity. Don't miss this unique adventure in the spirit of Fritz Leiber and Jack Vance.

[Meenaz Lodhi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story has a nightmarish fairy tale, quality to it, with all its fantastic, fearsome and weird creatures, which one more grotesque and deadly. A misfit team, a diversity of characters...I am a big fan of Chris Turner’s because I thoroughly enjoy the intrigue he generates with his fictional-but-believable worlds and unpredictable plots, his fantasy is a weird and twisted story, quasi horror like, sometimes, nothing is what it seems, the hardships the companions go through is almost impossible a situation to come out! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!
I received an early version of this book from the publisher and my review is entirely voluntary.

The author gives such incredible detail that you can completely envision every single thing in this story. Each character and all of the surroundings are brought to life and allows the reader to live it as they read it. The journey takes treacherous twists and turns and the main characters get caught up in some harrowing situations. Take an amazing fantastical journey and enjoy! A great read!

What a strange bunch of people. This is the strangest group to successfully complete a mission. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it because I couldn’t wait to see what they would get into next.

Author went overboard with synonyms. One or two would do, 4 or 5 over kill. I know he was trying for a certain style, but sometimes less is more.

A strange and humorous tale. A for originality.

I found this boring, I had a very hard time reading this and was constantly having to push myself to continue reading this book. If you enjoy the slow, then this is for you.
