Book Review of Equilibrium
Book Blurb
The Spirits’ ancient Equilibrium is brought into
being when the twelfth mage is finally found. But Angora is unlike those who
have come before her and she refuses to blindly accept her fate.
The Ayons have mysteriously retreated from a
far-reaching southern offensive, ordered back by their newly crowned king. In
the aftermath of this battle, Angora is washed up on the shore of a foreign
land, bruised and battered, determined to keep her past a secret from all.
Rescued from slavers, yet immediately falling prey
to others, she is thrust into a war not her own. Proclaimed one of twelve
legendary mages, Angora is charged with protecting the innocent with magic
beyond her imagination.
But a dark future awaits her and her friends as the
Ayon threat begins to swell once more in the north.
My Review:
Mystery and magic engulfs the story line and gives
way to imagination and fantasy. The Spirits have their chosen ones to protect
people from evil. And the search of the chosen ones is pretty difficult when
you have to sides of the same coin and even more difficult to handle when they
don’t know how
to guide their powers.
Angora is one such gifted child in recluse.
The story is fast paced and C. S. Sealey has made a
good use of her imagination in carving out the story line which is an ultimate
page turner. It has got all the characters of warfare, to overthrow any
opposition with a master on each side. A perfect blend of characters and
circumstances that makes the novel inevitable, for the readers to put it down,
until he has read the last page. I am looking forward to get my hands on the
sequel of the book as soon as possible.
I was given the Kindle edition of the book by
Patrick Lenton, Digital Marketing Executive of Momentum Books, Pan Macmillan
Australia, in exchange for an honest review.
About the author
Carmel Sealey was born in Sydney, Australia, and has
a great passion for fantasy. Her brother first inspired her to write at a very
young age and she has continued to do so with gusto. The first seed of
Equilibrium began to sprout at the age of 15 and the story has been rewritten,
reworked, abused, edited, rewritten again, expanded, cut, stitched back
together and polished in the dozen years since.
