book 1 of Chronicles of Tenebrak

Potential for a good blend of SF and fantasy – but it’s not. The fantasy rules and the SF is simply there to let us know how much better are the fantasy characters. There’s not much chance of a conclusion to the series – already (book 1) there are children being born to save the world... And the man whose role it is to save the world spends most of his effort being amazed at the super powers of the women... and (off stage) fathering children. Yes, it’s chick-lit fantasy. Overall, an enjoyable, easy to read book – and by a West Australian author.

Agamedes' rating: 7 out of 10

Quest (The chronicles of Tenebrak)

Look, just forget that it's chick-lit fantasy (unless you like chick-lit fantasy). Don't worry that it's just a bit silly. Follow the link above and buy the book -- because it's written by a West Australian! Support (my) local writers!
