Ruins on Stone Hill (Heroes of Ravenford #1)
by F.P. Spirit
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: December 2016
Summary
Magic is easy.
That’s what Glolindir thought, until he came across his first real monster.
Luckily, he survived, thanks to his new “friends.”
Lloyd, the reckless young warrior with blades of fire.
Seth, the sarcastic halfling who might be an assassin.
Aksel, the genius little gnome whose very touch can heal.
Little did they know that things were about to go from bad to worse.
After one hundred and fifty years of relative peace, dark forces stir around the little town of Ravenford—monsters, black magic, creatures of the night.
The only thing standing between Ravenford and certain destruction is this band of young misfits.
My Review
4 Stars
Magic, adventure, and quite a few laughs. This is what Ruins on Stone Hill brought to the table and it did not disappoint. Even though I am a sucker for anything fantasy, I still like (and need) an engaging story with appealing characters and this story was just that.
While I did certainly enjoy this story, I would not say it is on the same level as some of my favorite fantasy novels. The characters are highly likable, and I found myself laughing more than I would have thought. There is also a hint a romance, but it is certainly not a main focal point of the story. The one issue that I did have is that I would have liked more information and detail at certain points throughout the story. I feel there were moments where additional information/detail would have been beneficial or simply enhanced the story as a whole.
Ultimately, this was a satisfying read and I enjoyed it to the end. There is a lot of room for growth and I hope we get to meet more characters in the next instalment to the series.
