E-Book Review - The End Of All Things by Jill Williamson

The End Of All Things
The Kinsman Chronicles book 1.3
by Jill Williamson

-From Amazon-

With the Five Realms on the brink of total destruction, everyone faces a final mad scramble to find a safe haven. The realm is divided on what should be done. Wilek and Trevn join those who are preparing the realm for a seaward evacuation, but the king stands in their way. Wilek must battle against his own father to try and save the people of Armania.

Life as they know it ends...NOW!

Wow, I think The End Of All Things was the best part of the story yet. More excitement, more adventure, more danger, and an epic battle against a god. Sides are chosen, lines are drawn, and time is rapidly running out.

In part 3 Jill Williamson starts drawing the various threads of the story together and I can't wait for the next parts to start releasing.

As the inevitable loss of the Five Realms came closer and closer and things became more desperate I found myself more and more drawn into the story. Even the title, The End Of All Things, has a haunting note to it that captures the imagination.

This E-Book received a 4 Bark rating.

E-Book Review - The Heir War by Jill Williamson

The Heir War
The Kinsman Chronicles 1.2
by Jill Williamson

-From Amazon-

With Prince Wilek still searching Armania for a murderer, his brother Prince Trevn finds himself pulled deeper into the dangerous politics of who will be Heir. Trevn, though, is far more interested in his studies with a local priest and the attentions of a young honor maiden.

The book that he has been copying during his lessons is not the book that teaches of the god of the soil. Instead, it teaches of a one true God. If accurate, then it means there is no soil god to satiate. There is nothing they can do to save their world, and all of King Echad's sacrifices have been futile.

ASIN: B013EW2SG4

Intrigue and danger abound...

The epic battle between sons continues and the fate of countries hangs in the balance... Jill Williamson has penned a story with all of the necessary elements for an epic fantasy: a small band of disparate characters on a desperate quest, an angry magic-wielding woman, a prophet, cataclysmic natural disasters...
When I read part 1 I wasn't really sure I liked the characters but in The Heir War I really started to warm up to Sar Trevn, Mielle, and even Sir Kalenek. And of course, some of the new characters like Onika and Grayson.

This Book received a 3.5 Bark rating.

But what really impressed me was the sheer detail that Jill Williamson has put into the landscape and customs of the various peoples in this story. On that note I will say that this book is not a kids fantasy, it is definitely aimed more toward older teens and adults. The world of The Kinsman Chronicles is harsh, dangerous and even cruel at times.
I also started to see some Biblical parallels in The Heir War: people doing what is right in their own eyes and following false gods, a prophesied savior, and end-of-the-world events that only few recognize.
If you enjoy epic fantasy with magic and the battle between good and evil you really should check out Jill Williamson's newest book, of which The Heir War is part 2.

Darkness Reigns
The Kinsman Chronicles part 1
by Jill Williamson

-From Amazon-

Part 1 of Jill Williamson's Epic Fantasy Series The Kinsman Chronicles 

The god of the soil is furious. Volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, earthquakes--everything points to his unhappiness. At least this is what the people of Armania in the Five Realms believe.

Amidst the unsettling state of the world around them, the princes of Armania live their lives focused more on who will claim the throne after their sickly father, King Echad, dies. That is until Prince Wilek's concubine turns up dead--beside her, a bloodied message that seems to have come from the

Darkness Reigns is collected together with parts 2 and 3 in King's Folly.

ASIN: B013EW2SV4

Epic fantasy begins...

And so begins Jill Williamson's epic tale of fantasy. Lands are in ruins, natural disasters are terrifying to say they least, mysterious prophecies maybe being fulfilled, and the sons of an aging king vie for his favor in being named Heir. The lives of disparate characters are linked together in known and unknown ways. The lands they live in are harsh and the wills of the various gods are unbending and unmerciful.

This E-Book received a 3.5 Bark rating.

Wow, Darkness Reigns was quite a start to the King's Folly tale. It is a fairly short and quick read, short at only around 160 pages, and quick because you really don't want to put it down. This is only the first part in this epic story and I can only imagine what will come next.

I would add that this is more of an adult story, or older teens, versus YA. With more mature themes Darkness Reigns will catch the attention of longtime fantasy fans looking for a new and exciting read.

Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Darkness Reigns by Jill Williamson a 3.5 Bark rating.
