Today, I’m on the tour for Anna Allen’s Book Rise of the Immortals: The Battle For Gritheim Book One. Thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours and Anna Allen for the ARC.
In a world of rising magic, an unseen battle commences. The Gods of Gritheim release their instruments – for good and evil.
While many scoff at witchcraft and sorcery, Josse and Leonné have witnessed it firsthand. Thrown together by prophesy they must learn to wield their secret magic, to defend not only themselves but the kingdom of mortals. Wraiths, known as Drackarts, do the bidding of Guiscard D’Abernon and his sorceress wife, Orella, but the masters behind these puppets are the ones set on its destruction.
The Immortals of Gritheim are on the rise, seeking ultimate power and control; they care not how many thousands will be slaughtered in their path. Only the Redeemers stand in their way.
Josse and Leonné must overcome their dislike of each other, for their world is at stake.
For fans of thrilling epic fantasy that will keep you turning pages!
My Review
I discovered a love for fantasy books merely three years ago. Before this I would only read a Terry Pratchett book in this genre. I have to say, since I began to read more fantasy I now know I would have missed out on so many great books had I not pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Rise Of The Immortals is one such book.
An unknown author to me Anna Allen has written a smashing book. I was immersed from the first sentence-never mind first paragraph. The world building and characters are done well. So well that I was in love with the two main characters around the third chapter already and believed everything I read.
Josse, a young boy is rescued from his abusive step father by Leon another child who tries to rescue children and help them to safety, among other things. Josse is sent on his way to safe place and given a new name. As the story unfolds it seems appearances are not what they seem and Leon is really Leonné a girl who is looking foe her heritage as Josse is looking for his. Filled with dark magic, plenty of mysticism and action I really invested in these two. I needed them to get what they needed and have a happy ever after. Every twist and turn had me holding my breath hoping it would turn out OK.
The story is woven together with multiple threads and the characters just add to the depth of this multi layered story which has a reality that is vivid too. I reas this in one sitting and now, after that ending I need book two please!
