Aerieti Chronicles of the Fall #1
Roa Seeks
The chronicles begin with a tale of exiles, disillusionment, and stubborn hope, reminiscent of Pratchett and Tolkien. Will a strange band of misfits be enough to protect a world from a monstrous threat?
Demons stir in Itania, and Meecha Roa, the black sheep of his family, travels from his home world to this legendary planet to investigate. But all he knows about Itania is what other secret agents of the angels have recounted. A place of magic, dragons, elves, humans, and simmering strife.
The mission seems simple enough: explore the activity of the demons and their servants. At the same time, track down and recruit a rogue elf demon-hunter called Azare. Except nothing is simple in Itania, especially with so much brewing in the shadows. Through hardship and precious friendships, his intricate discoveries will shake his heart and loyalty to the core as the demons turn out to be hunting for an infamous key to hell, secreted away by a master thief and lockbox-maker.
Meecha realises that what he seeks on his epic adventure are not answers and solutions just for the Aerieti, but also himself... The part he plays in this critical chess match between angels and demons.

Lol, this has to be my favorite Dialogue-
"This is the Roa you came from, boy,' she bar! " cha cowered back into his thirteen-year-old s 39 / 430 you the brains you carry, but don't think for a moment wat I've lost any of mine. Test me any further and you'll rue your doubting tongue."
The story was good. Fun and adventure. The world building was amazing. I find the characters a bit hard to relate to, but maybe that's because this Writing style isn't for me. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a new world or a mix of Tolkein and Percy Jackson.

Meecha Roa is a misfit to his family. He never quite fits in. What they don't know is that Meecha is a hero. He travels through dimensions to other worlds where he takes on evils of all kinds. In his latest mission, he is tasked to understand the situation in a world called Itania. While there he will also need to find an elf demon hunter named Azare. The mission sounds simple enough but Meecha doesn't know the depth of danger he has gotten into. He will need to make unlikely friends and allies to survive this mission.
Roa Seeks is full of adventure. There are creatures of all kinds on Itania and they keep the reader engaged. One of the best creatures introduced was a large cat and its cub, but will it befriend Meecha or eat him instead? And of course, there are demons that could pop up at any turn, making the danger more imminent.
The world-traveling is interesting and the way that Meecha is able to travel between those worlds was quite intriguing. At times it did feel as if some of the characters that Meecha interacted with could have had more of a back story to them but perhaps we will see that explored in future volumes.
There are also several great illustrations in the book. The cover art may give you an indication but the illustrations are quite accurate to the book descriptions and very well made.
Meecha is a particularly charming character and is extremely likable. He does his best even though the world around him is much larger than he is. That's something a lot of us can relate to. The book has plenty of potential for a long-running, series and it will be interesting to see where Meecha goes from here.
If you love books full of magical worlds, strange and beautiful landscapes and creatures, and epic battles between good and evil, Roa Seeks is a great addition to have on your bookshelf.

I liked the story line and the very sympathetic protagonist, although would have liked the briefly suggested gender fluidity to have been a bit stronger. The writing around animals is great, really empathetic. Really enjoyed it. Look forward to sequel.

Really liked the book. The characters are great I liked Aware and Nandil, but specially Meecha. He's the misfit, bullied, can't afir in to his hometown lifestyle. Even though he feels the need to leave, but he loves his hometown and his family, his perspective on life is simply too different from the life his family wants for him. And he tries so hard. All the the time.
As Meecha travels between dimensions he gets to meet amazing people and has the chance to make great impact on and be an irreplaceable piece on history. This world is full of adventures, and has the potential to bring out many more.
I'm really excited about the sequel!

This was such a cute story ^-^
Roa seeks is the first book in the Aerieti Chronicles. It follows Meecha, who never really fits in. His family thinks that he is a misfit but little do they know that he is a hero. He travels through dimensions to destroy all sorts of evil.
In this book, he goes to a world called Itania. The way the author described the landscapes really intrigued me. The illustrations this book had were beautiful too!
All the characters like Meecha, Azare and Nandil were really likeable too!
Highly recommend if you like adventure stories.
Thank you Booktasters and the author for giving me a review copy of this book. This did not impact my review in any way.

Fun interesting read, the book was recommended t me by Booktasters and it is one of my favorite books for this talented author.
A good adventure and a good storyline, with very good characters.
I liked the development of the main character and I liked the danger lies beneath his adventure.
How his family underestimated him while he is a wonderful hero.
I really enjoyed each page. Thank you so much. I recommend this definitely to elders and children.

It took me a while to get into the story, partly because I'm not used to the new world/quest type stories, but ultimately I enjoyed it. I especially loved the dynamic between Meecha, Azare, Nandil and the Chanters (oh and Thasha of course)!
I would love to find out more about Meecha's backstory, how he came to be an agent and his first job, but maybe that will feature in later books :)

Roa Seeks knocked me off my feet. A well fleshed out world, a secret struggle between ethereal powers, a cast of colorful, but not unrealistic characters (as far as fantasy literature goes). This is one of those books where even as long as it is, you're still hoping for a few more pages.
