Today I am so happy to say I have Valen and the Beasts by G.J kemp on my blog, on behalf of Random Things Tours. If anyone does keep up with my reviews and Tours they will know I loved the first book in this series. I must send my thanks to Ann Cater and G.J Kemp for the book and my place on this tour.
Valen plucked the glass box off the shelf and gently placed it on his desk. Inside, a set of handcrafted metal circles linked to form the body of his new beast. He closed his eyes and dreamed of the Fairacre residents buying his latest creations.
A commotion outside Valen’s shop brings him back to the present. The Captain has caught the leader of the sewer rats and is parading her in front of Fairacre residents. Her fate will be determined by the townsfolk’s demands.
Valen steps in to defend the leader.
A story of discovery, hope and courage, Valen and the Beasts is a journey of an outsider risking everything to stand up for the people he loves. Will Valen save the leader of the sewer rats? Will he show everyone his secret? Or will he buckle under the pressures of the old conventions?
A Juno And The Lady Novella that I was already looking forward to reading. I so enjoyed Juno And The Lady, that I read and reviewed previously. This story is based on Valen, one of the characters from the first book.
A fantasy that again sweeps you into a magical world that G.J Kemp has again built so cleverly. I was happy to fell like I was by Valen’s side and to learn so much more about this particular character. In the first book he was a character that I did lean towards, although Chloe was my favourite in the first book. This story has made me put both Valen and Chloe on a par with each other now.
We delve into how he came to be friends with the sewer rats and how he met Chloe. This book gives is the opportunity to witness what kind of character Valen really is. I enjoy this type of tale, where I get to know more about different characters and in depth too.
Just as Juno And The Lady kept me glued to the book, this story did exactly the same. G.J Kemp has a knack of transporting me into his books. His world building is perfect and his characters are so real I feel like I am with them. A novella that took me no time to read and again made me want more. I am really looking forward to see what’s next for the Acre Stories. I do hope it isn’t too long before I find out. A great, fast and easy fantasy read that should satisfy anyone who enjoys this genre.
