Connection of the Worlds

Yay!

Finally, a truly biased review!

Okay, so you know how I give writing tips from time to time? How I write reviews on my favorite fantasy books of all time? (So far, anyway.) Well, I’ve done it! I have published a book of my own.

Today I will be reviewing my own book. I published the kindle edition on December 1, and I officially published the paperback on December 11, 2018. This book is the first of its trilogy, and I have already started writing the second book.

Today I will introduce my plot, and then my characters.

The first book, Connection of the Worlds, follows four main characters as they discover that the world around them is actually full of ancient mythological creatures from many different pantheons.

Connection of the Worlds

In the first book, the first character we are introduced to is Tor Anderson. (After a mysterious and foreshadowing prologue, of course.) Tor is just your average kid, who does somewhat well at school, has a best friend, and a worst enemy. While walking home from school, Tor sees a couple of mysterious people. One is a woman, who looks like she’ll kill him. Another is a girl, maybe a year or two older than him, who doesn’t look much nicer. Despite her apparent anger, the girl, (A.K.A. the Greek goddess Athena.) is actually trying to hunt down various mythical beings. Tor doesn’t quite believe her, but agrees to meet up with her the next day. Athena thinks that Tor might have more to him than he realizes.

On our other side of the story, we meet Luna, a quiet girl who is shy, and has a great secret. She is the daughter of a Chinese moon goddess. Luna is eventually led to Washington State, where she meets our fourth and most mysterious character yet: Seth Frederick. Seth had been living in a public library for two years. Anyway, Seth and Luna briefly meet, then Seth leaves.

Eventually, Tor and Athena find themselves on an epic quest to find the other two Children of Myth, destined heroes of an ancient prophecy.

Will they find the other two? Maybe with great trials, and epic adventures into various realms and cities. Perhaps they will even find out what the Power is, and find a way to stop Chaotic gods from finding their way into the human world.

Characters

Okay, so after that dramatic ending of my summery, let’s jump into who these heroes really are.

Tor Anderson

Tor is thirteen years old. He is often the comic relief, and is quick to come up with a joke in a time of catastrophe. He doesn’t have any superpowers, but that doesn’t stop him from becoming a lovable hero. He believes he is the son of the Norse god of thunder, Thor. When he’s not in school, Tor enjoys reading and drawing superhero comics, and surfing at the beach in his hometown: San Diego, California.

Athena

Warfare, wisdom, weaving, you name it. Athena is a Greek goddess, with powers of metamorphosis, flight, and the use of two wicked shortspears, she is totally ready to fight hoards of demons. Bring it on! Athena grew up on Mount Olympus, and has helped numerous heroes of different prophecies. Now, she is one. You can count on her to draw up a battle plan, or improvise. Whichever technique, she is ready to face Chaos, no doubt about it!

Luna Wong

Luna is also thirteen, and is shy and quiet. She is extremely thoughtful about people and situations, and is nice to everyone, including strangers. Luna enjoys riding her horses, Storm and Shadow, and flying her chariot pulled by them. (Forgot to mention that in the summery.) Luna also uses a bag of Moondust, a special powder given to her by her mother, Chang’e. Luna has good night vision, and is quick to help anyone in need.

Seth Frederick

Seth is mysterious. Seriously, this guy is hiding from his past. Bad vibes. For the past two years of his life, he’s lived in a library, surrounded by books and knowledge. He never thought his life would change, until a sight on a nearby rooftop caught his eye. He left the library, and later discovered his father was actually Horus, (Heru Sa Aset.) the falcon, war-god from Egyptian Mythology. Seth uses a wicked-looking obsidian dagger as a weapon, and also has a power you wouldn’t expect by looking at him. Incredible strength.

Conclusion

So that was it! A description and review of my book. I have given the book nine unicorns, the extra unicorn taken off because I am the author. (Ha ha.)

Overall, I really enjoy my characters. Humor is a great part of my book, and when you read it, I advise that you do not skim. Why? Like any book, you’ll miss the funny bits, and also descriptions.

Take your time reading, then please write a review on Amazon.com. Thanks!

Also, remember to get my next to books in the trilogy, which I have not published yet, but will hopefully come out sometime soon.
