Blog Tour: The Seventh Friend by Tim Stead #review


Epic Fantasy

Date Published: April 1, 2014

   
 Hero. Monster. Saviour. Butcher. Madman. Recluse. Wolf Narak, the deadly and charismatic god of wolves, has earned all the names men give him, and since the climactic and bloody final battle of the Great War he has shunned the company of mortal men and withdrawn to his forest home. There he is troubled by dreams of blood and fire, tormented by memories of his own deeds.

But fate has not quite finished with the victor of Afael.
He receives an impossible message, and as he follows the trail a suspicion grows to a certainty within him. War is coming again, and Narak must leave his beloved wolves and once more take up his twin blades. Once again he must become the general of the six kingdoms, the terror of his enemies, a hero, a butcher, the bloodstained god.

Review
I loved the descriptive way this novel was written. It really submerges the reader into the world.  

There were a lot of moving parts to this one and I really liked the originality that Stead brought.

This novel was very vivid. The writing really jumped off of the pages and into my mind. Kudo's to him for that! 

These characters each have their own personalities and depth to them. None of them felt one-dimensional or forced, they all shined through as individuals.

Great start to a new Epic Fantasy Series!




 Tim Stead was born in the UK, lived in Hong Kong, London, Hampshire, and eventually moved to New Zealand.
He wasted many years not writing, but now has the time to devote to it. He has written six books, three of which are available on Amazon (The Sparrow and the Wolf trilogy). The others will follow, as will editions for Createspace and Smashwords.
He writes fantasy because it is so open to the imagination, which is half the fun, and also because it permits exaggerated explorations of humanity and all its excesses.

He is a former avid scuba diver, a former beekeeper, and a very poor skier, archer and fencer.

Torn between reading and writing, but writing is winning.
He now spends most of his time writing, reading, planting trees, cutting them down, cutting them up, and trying to persuade people to read his books.

Thanks for the kind review!
Just to remind people that this series is three books and is complete - no waiting around for next year's instalment - and all three are available on Amazon.
