Gathering of the Four (The Serrulata Saga Book 1) by A.E. Bennett – Review by Amy Brennan

Gathering of the Four by A.E. Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will be honest. I really debated on picking up this novel due to it’s length. Typically, I try to read novels between 200-400 pages long, max, as usually they aren’t over done in the way of the tales woven, or the descriptiveness being overboard. I am very glad that I did pick this adventure up, and thoroughly enjoyed the historical dystopian feel that the author wove within it’s pages. It did take me a little while to really get into this story at the beginning, but once the ball got rolling, wow did it ever roll!

You can’t help but root for Leora, Roland, Aurora, and Leopold, this unlikely group come together to share their strength, beliefs, friendship, and wanton to get through what is to come. I absolutely love when folks of different classes come together to make things beautiful together, and this novel really did pull that one out of the hat. What a wonderful start to a very thorough series, not to mention intriguing. I cannot wait to follow this group into the next installment. You won’t be disappointed to put the time into this read!
