Review of Origin by Dave Higgins

 

 Blurb 

Some people are born to advantage, privilege. Edmond was born to village idiots who put all his skill points into Luck. They knew an opportunity to win the lottery when they saw it. Edmond doesn’t want to be a winning ticket. He dreams of becoming a great hero and scholar. Impossible goals when your Intelligence and Wisdom stats couldn’t be lower. Is Edmond nothing but a walking rabbit’s foot? Will his parents’ dreams of easy fortune come true? It’s all just a lucky roll away.





Review

I enjoyed this book. It is a very light read, so if you want something purely to entertain you, this is the book for you.
People have been given points at birth to add to particular traits. Edmond's parents added his points to Luck. His father had points added to Strength, and his mother to Charisma. Both had very few in Intelligence, and this leads them into many scrapes and having to run away from many towns and villages due to their ill-thought-out get rich schemes.
They hope to use Edmond's Luck to make their fortune, but, of course, it does not turn out that way.
This book is amusing, and has an original concept. It is well written, but, with the characters having one main characteristic, they are not fully developed people. This is inevitable with the concept, though.
I enjoyed reading it, and look forward to the sequel.

Release of Wolf Moon

At last the wait is over. You can now buy Book 3 of The Wolves of Vimar, Wolf Moon.


The group called Wolf have been enlisted into the Erian Army against their will, and they soon learn that an invasion is planned into their homeland of Grosmer.
As the heroes make their escape, they accidentally stumble upon an old Dwarven city, and become friends with them.
Facing enemies on all sides, the five must find where their loyalties lie, and save their homeland from certain destruction.

This part follows the 5 members of Wolf who were not arrested and taken to Frelli. Their adventures and discoveries are no less astounding than those taken prisoner. Strange people and impossible creatures cross their path, and they need to use their wit and imagination to get home.

Some Beautiful thoughts from Quill and Parchment

I came across this post in my mail and thought it rather thoughtful and beautiful, so wanted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I'm sorry it's not my usual piece of writing at the beginning of the month, but I've had a very busy time of late. I'll get back to posting my writing later in June, then back to the normal schedule by July, I hope.
