Review of Tales of Terratal: Beyond the Event Horizon
Phoenix and some of the members of a game group called the Eclipse Dragons fight Mangled while playing a video game. Mangled are boar-like black beasts, and the Eclipse Dragons work together during the fight to defeat them, for which they are successful. In the real world, Phoenix does his usual day-to-day activities, and in the evening, he comes back home with his friend Beatris after they both visited Nina at the hospital. Phoenix and Beatris both go to bed, but when Beatris wakes up the next morning, Phoenix has disappeared and is nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, Thius and his niece Blake go to an ancient library in search of answers about Blake's parents, whom she barely knows anything about. When they enter the library, something seems to be lurking in the shadows, and when they finally see it, it drains their mana. Who is Phoenix, and where has he disappeared? What happens to Blake and Thius, and what is the thing they find in the ancient library? To find out more, please get yourself a copy of the book Tales of Terratal: Beyond the Event Horizon by Doppless Regalia.
There are several things I liked while reading this book. I enjoyed the book's plot and was amazed by it. I liked the whole idea of characters disappearing with nowhere to be found, only for them to end up in a completely different world. I also found myself falling in love with Colquhoun the dragon, and he made the story more interesting. It was because of him that significant events in the book were revealed. Because of him, I also really got to understand why events were happening the way they were, and he gave answers to most of the questions I had been asking myself while reading the book.
I also liked that the author described the battles fought between the villains and the good guys in detail. Personally, I love action movies, and reading about events occurring during a fight gets my blood boiling. Not only that, the author described the battles in such great detail and zeal that I felt I was watching or present on the battle field. The author also had the ability to invoke strong emotions in me during these fights, especially during the fight between Phoenix and Rowan.
However, the book has some drawbacks. The book falls short of world-building as the author didn't provide adequate details about the different worlds, especially Terratal. It also contains several errors that distracted me while reading. This leads me to believe that this book was poorly edited, and another round of editing is therefore necessary.
I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars because of the incredible plot and interesting characters. I deducted two stars because of the poor world-building and several errors in the book. I recommend it to anyone interested in video games, adventures, and action thrillers.
