The Sylvan Chronicles #6
The Lost Kestrel Found
Light dances with dark, green fire burns in the night, hopes and dreams follow the wind, to fall in black or white.
The prophecy of Thomas Kestrel: outcast, lord, sorcerer, warrior, and perhaps savior of the Kingdoms — if he survives.
In The Lost Kestrel Found, the sixth book in The Sylvan Chronicles, a sword and sorcery, coming of age, Arthurian fantasy series —
…The Shadow Lord expands his reach, confident in his rise to power as his allies continue to do his bidding.
…Thomas slowly earns the trust of the Highlanders as he rallies their forces to ambush the reivers, not knowing that these small battles are nothing compared to what it will take to drive the invaders from their homeland.
…The Princess of Fal Carrach comes into her own discovering a new role in her father’s court as well as her own source of magic.
The fates of all three will be altered forever as Thomas claims his rightful place as Lord of the Highlands … but who will pay the ultimate price?

About the author
Peter Wacht
41 books142 followersGrowing up in New York when I was a kid, I used to haunt the science fiction and fantasy bookstore in Yonkers, searching for the epic fantasy stories that I loved to read. When I exhausted all my options, I started writing my own stories, never realizing that one day I would publish them.
As you read my stories, you’ll notice certain themes and I like to carry them over from one book to the next. I always include adventure, humor, a few twists, a bunch of fights (magic and steel), and a little romance, along with a few good monsters. But for me it always starts with engaging characters. Because without characters who grow and change as they seek to overcome the challenges placed before them, as they seek to move forward, the story can’t move forward.
In particular, I like to focus on the reluctant hero, a man or a woman not seeking glory, but rather seeking to help others and challenge the evil plaguing the world – a world that I’ve created, The Realms of the Talent and the Curse. They need to learn how to believe in themselves before they can do what’s demanded of them. A personal journey that all of us experience, often more than once in our lifetimes, from lack of belief to belief in the self.
To learn more, check out the Amazon series pages for my current epic fantasy series -- The Sylvan Chronicles, The Tales of Caledonia, and The Tales of the Territories -- and my first foray into urban fantasy, The Fallen Knight Series. (Many of the books in these series have been or are Amazon #1 Bestsellers in various categories as well as #1 New Releases.)

Enjoyable story, but...
All the books are too short and contain so much recapping that i have to skim over it. We remember what's already passed, there's no need to go into it all again in so much detail. It's a shame really that the author has compromised on the quality. These six books should have the fluff removed and be condensed into 3 books. Will continue reading however would suggest the author take the time to consider of he wants to be a mediocre author or a good one.

Great story and a Good Book, but the lag is too much
The skill that the author processes to write a lot without moving the story even an inch is commendable but sometimes a little bit frustrating. Till now throughout the series this particular skill of the author only made it feel weird...but the constant repetition of the same facts along with a lot of pages with no plot points makes the book a little bit frustrating.
If the story was written like other books then this entire Book will be max 5 - 10 chapters in a Book.
But with everything said and done Amazing story and concept and a Good read, cant wait for the next part
I would have given a 5-star rating but decided to cut a point for the frustrating parts.....

This has become a long review. I guess I am writing to the author, as well as the next prospective reader. I hope you find it helpful. The intended audience of this series is young teens.
The story line in this series is pretty imaginative--a young boy survives the fall of his kingdom and loses his grandfather who was the only person who loved and cared for him. At only 10 yrs old, he is tasked with keeping the relic of the family line safe--the sword of the Kestrel's. Although out in the woods alone and being hunted by fearsome men, he cleverly avoided capture after escaping the attack. He was nearly at his limit when his maternal grandparents find him, hide him, and start his true training and education, building him into the figure he must eventually be. He is brave, true, strong, determined, mature, and driven. He has hidden strength and special power that is revealed in each of the books. How can you not like him? The first five books show his development and tests his resolve not to fail. Trial by "fire" has forged a figure stronger than ever. You do want him to succeed.
This book six had promise starting after Thomas's success in going through the trials required to become the Lord of the Highlands, (in the 5th book) and the introduction of Malachias, another evil minion, but is very repetitive. There seems to be a lack of descriptive scenes, and even the large battle felt rather "matter of fact." It was as if Wacht was just trying to fill up pages, so he could get on to the next in the series.
While many authors will target this younger audience and still write a memorable, complex story, Wacht seems to believe that this group has basic reading skills, so things are simplified. In this 6th book in the series, we had very little progression. Retelling the story line was unnecessary. If a reader made it to book six, they are aware of everything that had happened, and even if you are 13, it doesn't have be explained over and over again.
I am puzzled as to why the author doesn't continue to follow Thomas and his thoughts in this installment, and neglects to describe his impact on others that haven't met him before. Instead, Wacht chose to follow the antagonists in detail. It didn't serve to introduce a more interesting and complex antagonist, but rather showcased more of the same whiny, arrogance that each hold. They are carbon copies of one another--greedy, power hungry, arrogant and flawed in appearance and self-esteem, causing them to "prove" to the world they are important. They have given up on being loved, preferring to be feared. Wacht explained that very plainly just in case it was a complexity that the reader would not understand. When he wrote these characters, I wonder if he had more in mind than two-dimensional "bad guys." Note to author: antagonists can be more than their ambition. The only still mysterious figure is Malachias--we have yet to learn his story and the story of the Shadow Lord. I can only hope there is more to them than the other "bad guys."
Wacht's writing craft is still developing. He creates clever descriptions but then repeats them often, so they are no longer clever. At times, he is brilliant. Most of the time though, he could do more to set the scene, giving the reader more feeling of being in the story and maybe use more emotion in the scenes. His editors could do a better job, too. They allowed the adjective "ubiquitous" to be used twice on the same page to characterize one person, then another group in the following paragraph. Frankly, he could have just used the word "and."
Wacht should think of his audience as having more skill in reading. The books and chapters can be longer. A most annoying feature is that the chapters have a title that is a description of what is going to happen. It kind of spoils the surprise. Wacht appeals to teens in the sense that Thomas does all he does at age 17, and there are other 17 yr olds in the story too. When some of the teens worry about who likes who, it felt out of place in this saga. However, the attraction between the protagonists does seem appropriate and provides interest.
So now we wait upon the next installment, which I do plan to read. In that sense, Wacht is successful. I can only hope that he will treat us readers as if we have a great vocabulary, can follow a story without repetition, don't need a chapter title that tells us what will happen, and finally, will not lose interest even if the book is more than 250 pages.

Book 6 interesting but stuffed full of fluff and repetitive scenes.
Where book 5 had the real ending of book 4 making up the first third of it in order to create something long enough to be more than a novella, book six has to feel of something that should have been attached to book five but was bloated and filled with enough repetitive scenes and point of views to up the word count to a full book.
The third person omniscient point of view series has suffered from not having traditional beginning middles and ends for each book. In some cases it ends as the climax ends within the next book picks up literally minutes or hours afterwards. You can have random time jumps that are not even explained or as in this book near the end you have a character's point of view saying that the next day the meeting of the Kings would end and then a few paragraphs later saying that this day was the last day. the continuity errors also are a little bit more noticeable. one example is in a previous book our hero was captured and spent two months in a mine as a slave here he thinks of it as several months.
The story is interesting but I do feel that this book had way too many repetitive scenes in which characters are consistently described and redescribed and their thoughts upon issues are rehashed in multiple chapters as if it was the first time. In the first couple chapters it feels as if the author copied and pasted from book one or previous book, depending on the scene, useing most of the words he used then only changing a few sentences or adding something in order to make it feel as if it fit it now. There's one new deadly antagonist that was introduced in a previous book by the shadow Lord who dismisses him for duty we never hear from him again but the next time you see him he's once again introduced by the shadow Lord who dismisses him for duty.
the last few books have given me the impression that the author wanted more books for the series so he stretched out and pumped up with some fluff in order to make that happen. The main story has followed Thomas all the way through the first five books we see a greatly reduced number of chapters from his point of view as the author gives us plenty of filler chapters to pump up the word count again.
Once again I enjoyed seeing the side plot with Kaylie and I think hers is a worthwhile chapter in point of view to have. I did not like so much some of the repetitive antagonist chapters. They at times did not make sense and felt as if the author forgot he already written a scene.
That said I'm looking forward to reading the final book of this of the series. For the most part books 1 through 5 have been a fast read with book 6 being a slow read due to it being partially a reread or repetitive lol.

Good short story
I like the topic and the characters although the women do tend to be scheming against the men(but for there own good). What I don’t like is all my time wasted being reintroduced to the characters and the topic when all the books could be easily written as one book. I hate when writers write 250 pages and say to themselves “the story isn’t finished but I’ll just stop here and write the next part as a separate book. Is it to make more money? I’ll tell you write now I would not pay for this series because it keeps just stopping and starting at random places with out coming to a conclusion. I’m only so far because I get it free with the kindle thing, as it is I skip pages where it’s all stuff I already know. Get a good editor and write this properly! Sorry for venting

One of my favorite series out there in the fantasy genre. Yes, it is a bit formula-driven and you can guess some of the twists. SOME. There are still quite a few twists in the story. Still, boy meets girl, boy loses girl... Great power, great responsibility... The writing, however, is top-notch and Peter Wacht avoids the apparently modern decision of a lot of authors to throw profanity into the story. "More realism," they say. Mr. Wacht makes it apparent that a good story doesn't need to use sad little mechanisms like foul language to draw a reader in.
Thanks for that.
So far, the series is great. Yeah, I'm looking for the next twist...

No Return
Thomas took his place as the Lord of the Highlands. Kaylie uncovers a plot to kill her father. Reyn mentors Kaylie while working with her to foil the assassins plot. At the end, the Council of Kingdoms, Eamhain Mhacha. There is no returning after these events.
Okay the Tessaril family needs to be brought down. Especially Corelia. That girl is pure evil and makes me want to cut a b!tc#. Her brother Rabin is too arranging to realize his dream of revenge will only fail. Roderick is too stupid to see he lost.

The Lost Kestrel Found
The series is fast approaching the climax. Kaylie starts learning more of her own skills, Thomas reclaims his home, and the forces of darkness rise. There is a lot of action and the plot starts to prepare us for the final battle. I felt this book had more significant events than the past, with bigger fights and secret reveals. Only complaint is that the chapters are short and always switch narrators.

Great series
I chose this story due to a love of the genre. From the first few pages of the first book, I wanted to follow the story of Thomas's journey toward his destiny. The tale is filled with good versus evil as desperate men vie for power. Selfish ambition, greed and manipulation dominate the forces of evil. While fidelity, tenacity, humility, and courage in the face of nearly insurmountable odds are the foundation of the forces of good. I hope you enjoy as I have.

That last little bit
Things fell into place on a couple key issues. I felt the story of how the group of riders made from the skirmish by the river to the final day of the meeting needed to have been explained. The evil henchmen escaped presumably to report the boys where abouts. Later through the high kings musings we discover there are scouts carefully watching the approach s to the city. Why then did the high king not know exactly where he was and when he would appear.

Poorest instalment so far
Not sure how many new readers start on book 6 in a series but for some reason the author has decided to re-tell the previous highlights but not in a recap at the beginning but every time one of our characters returns somewhere that they’ve been before! Easily the best part of 20-30 pages that have no real reason to be there. 6 books in & not one enemy has died,they always manage to escape.

Not as good as previous books
This one just seemed to spend half the book recounting what happened in previous books. I enjoy the characters but nothing really happened in this one. Hopefully a builder for the next one. A lot less recounting of previous books would be welcome in the next installment.

Beautifully written with delightful characters and an engaging story
I love this series. It is so well written and the story line carefully developed. Thomas Kestrel is a fugitive and a fighter surviving numerous attempts on his life. He also fights for the Highlands and humanity against the machinations and horror of the Dark Lord. Excellent series!!

Great continuation of a great story!
In the previous stories you’ve seen Thomas grow in power while overcoming many challenges, sometimes just barely. In this book you see what he’s become and everything he’s worked towards start to come to fruition. I’m excited for more of the story!

Mr. Wacht! I was so disappointed in this book. I ordered the series on Amazon Kindle because of the Book 1 sample. I thought the entire "story" was included.
The title - The Lost Kestrel Found (The Sylvan Chronicles Book 6) - was so poorly chosen! Why?
He was no longer lost. The Sylvan warriors were not chronicled!
I kept hoping for a great climax to the series.

Great read almost perfect story telling
I would consider this almost as good as the wheel of time. I just want more! That is the only reason it falls short of being perfect. The characters and story draw you in. Their development inspires you and the author makes you a part of their story. I just want more!

Good read - All 6 of the books in this series are fun.
Good fun reading. All 6 of the books in this series. I've read this series twice and enjoyed it immensely both times. Unfortunately, as seems to be the normal course of events in Kindle Unlimited, the concluding book (s) are nowhere to be found. Too bad, as I would like to finish the story!

Thought the story was very good,very difficult to warm to the grandparents who seemed to dislike each other a lot and the author seems to have difficulties with relationships as the women have to be the dominant party with the men acting like adolescents and feeling trapped by any expression of affection .

Well, good, I like the series though...
I like this series. I am a little perplexed why the story of Icarus is in it. The action is good and character build up is good. I don't like the copy and paste of the descriptions of the Crag and of Rodric occurring with each book. And Kaelie(sp?) is becoming too soft and insecure.

Love This Series!!!
Im really enjoying this series. The only drawback is the repetitive descriptions of the past events. The mixture of magic and creepy creatures is very interesting. Thomas is such a strong character, I'm cringing at all the horrible things that are done to him, but admire his strength and integrity....

The Sylvan Series
This fantastical adventure includes many interesting characters, events, and creatures. This series is for young adults and up. There is clear good and evil, lots of action and mystery.

Wonderful Series
I have read the full six books and want t.He story to continue. Peter Wacht always gets you to the climax and leaves you dangling. It's kind of mean. Come on Peter, let Thomas finish his story!

Too much repitition from previous books in series
First 3 books in this series are not bad, but the last three drag on with 10- 15% almost verbatum copies of text from earlier books. The 5th and 6th books could easily have been condensed down to one book of new content.

Wishing the book was longer it was awesome
As always with a good read it ends too soon. Wished there were another book ready so I can move right into it. Guess I’ll be waiting for the next installment. Hurry up lol

Too short and filled with recapping
I probably skipped about a 6th of this already too short book. The recapping reeks of the Author trying to get as much bang for his books. I'm moving on to better series.

Enjoyed the read, but like dragging one story into 6 books and still. Not completed is disappointing.
This should be completed
Just seems to short for each book. So many stories and not finished. Disappointing that it is fragmented.

What I dislike about this nonsense.
I dislike being essentially forced to write a review when all I want to do is read the book. I stopped doing book reports when I graduated from high school nearly 47 years ago.

This is a different and unique story, with strong/lovable characters who battle evil trying to save the people of their lands. Thomas is the main character who you'll be rooting for through out the series. Great Reading Everyone!
