Arrow of the Mist: 1 : Mercer, Christina: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: an original, mystical adventure - An original, mystical adventure 5 stars Wow! It's easy to see when books have been created with passion and skill, and even easier to see when the craft of writing has been taken seriously by both author and editor. Arrow of the Mist is an amazing journey through not only a magical and dangerous land, perhaps just off the beaten path near your house, but it's also an exploration of the idea that nature will care for us if we care for it. Herein, the author does everything right. Characters are vividly drawn, interesting, and reveal their personalities through speech and actions. Dialogue carries the story forward capably without becoming stale or wooden. The conflict is real, compelling, and amazingly, doesn't require the heroes to hack and slash their way to victory. There's an interesting puzzle needing to be pieced together, and woven throughout the text are lyrical bits of riddling poetry handed down through generations, harkening back to the poems and lays in Tolkien's masterpiece. Here, these serve a dual purpose, both as a way into the deep culture the author has brewed up, and as a means for piecing together the history and mystery set up within. Pacing is good, and we have the extra added bonuses of both amazing cover art, and cool chapter headings. Overall, this book is everything I would hope to find when cracking open traditional fantasy. Which is why it was such a struggle to decide on four or five stars. See, the book was touted as a YA Fantasy, but it's difficult to see a young person reading it without serious difficulty. The vocabulary is lush, including words (like lissome) that I was forced to look up. Entire paragraphs are chock full of not only this, but fantasy cultural slang words, strange (made up?) names for herbs and plants, and fantasy names for trees. I've decided to award the book five stars due to sheer awesomeness, but parents are warned that the material may be a bit rough for young teens to handle (it's rated PG, but difficult because of the reading level), and are therefore encouraged to read and discuss with their children. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This review appears on behalf of AIA (awesomeindies.net) -Brent Meske
Review: Non-Sappy Earth Magic Fantasy/Adventure - This is an accomplished novel that pulls off a number of magical tricks of its own. It manages to capture the rich feeling of the myth and practice of Celtic herbal and tree lore without indulging in any purple prose or mumbo jumbo. The author has created a plausible and coherent world and has peopled it with a believable variety of denizens. She has created a strong, but not willful or angsty, teen heroine. We follow a tale in which we learn that "she is the one", but that feels neither preordained nor labored. There is a remarkable balance between excitement and suspense on one hand and the practical/mystical aspects of the Celtic lore on the other hand. The book is both quiet and gripping in equal measure. Everything is restrained and balanced. There is a touch of romance, but no swooning. There is some intrigue, but not endlessly complicated plotting. There are stretches of exposition that don't read like lectures and stretches of magical fantasy that provide clues to what is happening without being maddeningly obscure. The entire project is remarkably assured. Everything fits together; everything, (no matter how fantastical), feels real; everything ultimately makes sense; everything builds to a satisfying conclusion. Along the way we are never abandoned by the author or subjected to self-indulgent overwriting. This isn't sword and sorcery, it is mind and magic, which is a lot different. That kind of story can easily be overthought and over written. This story feels natural, calm and deep. Filled with grace notes and nicely turned phrases it zips along with great appeal and reward. A very nice find for when you are in the mood for a fantasy you can contemplate and in which you can immerse yourself. Please note that I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fairytales in dreams will never be the same again...
*by L***A on 25 April 2014*

Spellbinding imaginative concepts and fantastical worlds will transform your dreams into reality as soon as you begin to read! Any child (or teenager) will find this magical tale hugely impressive, for as soon as you delve into this dazzling debut it unlocks a portal of wonder. In the midst of danger and deception lies an undercurrent of strength, in the form of fantastic main protagonist Lia, whose likeability instantly pulled me along her journey. This is a fairytale like no other; set within an alternate Irish setting, the world of Nametona is a place shrouded in dark ambiguity and secrets. Containing all those elements one would hope to find in classic `high fantasy' such as epic quests, magical creatures and a great destiny this story was solid and full of substance. Targeted towards the younger reader (middle-grade) `Arrow of the mist' is an enchanting story that will delight fans of fairytales and Harry Potter! With a mystical setting that sends shivers down the spine to curious creatures who intrigue...this book really does encapsulate fantasy fiction in a compelling story. Exceeding all expectations with a convincing storyline and well written narrative, here is a book which will be read and re-read again and again. I would like to thank Christina Mercer for providing me with an e-copy of her brilliant book to read and review, as I not only thoroughly enjoyed it but cannot wait to delve into book 2 with interest and anticipation. The transfixing combination of the beautiful, eye-catching cover and fascinating storyline is a winner; as I was keen to explore an entirely new `twisted fairytale' version.
