Ahanti finally comes to terms with the fact that knowledge is power and it comes at a cost. These are words Ishwa keeps repeating like a broken record. What started as a thirst for revenge becomes more than she could have imagined. A world of extraordinary people exists, the Hallowed, and Ishwa chooses her to inherit his power. Will she cave under the pressure, or will she succeed?
A Student Syn, Tales From The Hallowed: Book 1 is an exciting book filled with unexpected events. It also happens to be fast-paced as well as plot-driven. The author J.R. Martin is descriptive in his writing. This brings the book to life. Ahanti’s synaesthesia is enhanced by her power, making her experience colours, sounds, and scents in a new way. The author describes all this in a manner that makes one see what Ahanti may be seeing. He incorporates humour into the book. It brings balance from the book’s intensity. For example, Ishwa and Ahanti’s banter is so wholesome and funny.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. I would rate five out of five. It is an entertaining read. The cover matches the book’s interior well. Warning: The book contains acts of violence but not much. I promise you’ll love this book as much as I did if you enjoy adventures and fantasies.
I willingly left this review after receiving a free advance review copy.
