Lee writes a great book with such a vivid plot that I could hear the soundtrack playing with each chapter. The character development was solid and I felt invested in the storyline quickly. At times I found myself searching for more information on a few of the supporting characters introduced and therefore hope we might see more of them in later books from the author. However this story is solid and one I found myself gladly reading to conclusion. I look forward to reading more from Lee.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) by James Talisman – Review by Heather Lovelace

Journeys Through SpaceTimeJourneys Through SpaceTime by James Talisman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I read the blurb for this book, I was immediately intrigued. I dove into the pages with anticipation and am so very glad I found this new author.

To say the world building is epic might be an understatement. Talisman takes us on a journey through space and time (no pun intended). In fact, the world building was done on such a level that likened itself, in my estimation, to Terry Goodkind and Terry Pratchett.

Fantasy lovers, you will be enthralled by the characters you are introduced to and how everything interconnects. Truthfully, the level of detail I found in the pages I am not sure I will fully appreciate until I have read the story for a second and third time.

Talisman is truly gifted and has presented readers with a brand new universe to dive headlong into. I cannot wait to devour the pages again and slip back into the world that lay in its pages.

I found the story to be extremely quick and easy to read, but that should not be interpreted to mean the story is simple or detail is lacking. King is a master storyteller and this book is pure brilliance. It moves quick. I recommend this be read in series order to best understand the characters and storyline. Just absolutely fantastic.
