Review:

When you live in a world that sees Kings and Queens overseeing the seasons it can be a challenging place but thankfully all has been calm for a long time now and the wars appear to be a thing of the past but with humans destroying the planet and global warming impacting on the Earth more and more can they really sit by and allow the human destruction continue?  The dwarves and magical folk have long survived unseen by the humans but as mankind continues the expansion and seems set on taking over every available space and polluting it can things remain as they have been for all of the years or will the families have to step in?

As Mother Nature continues to live her everyday life with her daughter growing to one day take over everything the risks grow as the families feel more and more anger over the changes to the world but can humanity remain safe and not know about all that is going on?  Can Mother Nature keep her family safe?  Will the families join forces?

This book sees many different factions with a lot of unknowns unfurling as the story progresses and the fact it is making a point around global warming is very much of the time.  I found the story worked well and I did enjoy this but the slight mark off was that a few little parts felt like they could have been slightly better (part being some of the dialogue earlier in the book and also a few little editing issues like a character being called Jacen but then Jason).

Overall this is a strong start to a series that could lead to a large series and many side stories alongside a main storyline which is something that is exciting to see for a debut novel.

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
