Refugees is Book 1 in the Mud, Rocks
and Trees Book Series by R. A. Denny.
Emperor Zoltov, the ruler of the Tzoladian
Empire, secretly meets with Bladar, the leader of the Sparaggi Horsemen, for a
long-sought prophecy which speaks of three seals, an heir, and the end of the
emperor’s reign.
The seals in the prophecy are entrusted to
three individuals from different parts of the empire: a Webby, a Glider and an
Armored. With the birth of the new star, these three young individuals leave,
albeit in various unexpected fashion, the lives they have always known to
follow their destiny.
This is an intriguing and exciting first
installment of a fantasy book series. I find the premise unique and genuinely
interesting. The author successfully creates a completely different world and
populates it with fascinating characters. Each of the three main characters has
distinct personality complete with special abilities and admirable qualities.
The plot, including solid backstories, is
unraveled in gradual manner alternately between the points of view of the main
characters. Suspense and excitement are, at all times, at high level making the
book difficult to put down.
As typical and even expected in book
series, the book has cliffhanger ending. Since I prefer standalone books,
whether single work or part of a series, for me, the ending feels a little
incomplete. Still, I enjoyed the book a lot and I recommend it to fans of the
fantasy genre.
