Child of Prophecy (The Tirumfall Trilogy BOOK 2) by J Drew Brumbaugh – Review by Jennifer Gordon
Child of Prophecy by J. Drew Brumbaugh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Child of Prophecy is the second book in the ‘Tirumfall Trilogy’, and the story continues a few years after the end of book one, ‘Fall of the Western Kings’. I would suggest reading book one first where the characters were introduced and their backstory’s explained. In this novel our hero Gant continues his adventures and this time he must find the “child prophesied to lead the demons of the Western Kingdoms to victory over the people of the East”. Going with Gant on this exciting but dangerous journey is woodland nymph and his wife Dalphnia, Emperor, wizard and friend Pris, and shape-changer Amelia. Although they seem like an unlikely group of heroes they have already proven themselves before when Gant defeated Varg with his magical sword Valorious in a previous battle in book one. However will they have to kill the child to stop the carnage that will follow the child’s birth, or can they outwit the demons without killing.
This is another epic fantasy adventure by J Drew Brumbaugh and like with book one I felt totally immersed in this story due to the authors wonderful world building. I loved the main characters, and felt like I was back with an old friend, Gant. However all the characters are fascinating and well defined and all bring something different to the story. The authors detailed descriptions really made the story come alive and the plot was action packed and full of drama which had me gripped. I was hooked from page one and felt the narrative flowed well making this an enjoyable and engaging read. I look forward to the final instalment of this classic fantasy adventure trilogy.
