Today's review is on Wraith by Robert Allen Johnson
In this thrilling tale, we follow two characters as they face many trials and pains. Trio is a boy, a hunter. He tracks down men from the Empire and takes their lives just as they had taken his father's life. The coin Trio receives from The Hand for these deaths is used to take care of his sister and mother.
Arch is a traveler of many places. As he and his horse make their way home they are met with a shadowy figure. This unwelcomed ghost refuses to leave Arch's side. The Darkness temps him with the possibility relieving the guilt from his past.
As you can guess from the synopsis this is a captivating story. The descriptions that Robert uses are woven together in a beautiful way. However, he gets a little bit carried away and at times over describes useless things. It is also unclear as to whom the chapters about until you get to character's name. So each chapter can either change to a different character or be the same person in the previous chapter. You have to read a paragraph or two in order to find out which person is being talked about. Then when you do figure it out you feel like you have to go back and reread because you don't remember what was said about that character. You didn't know who was being talked about and so the information didn't quite stick in your mind. At least, that is how it is for me.
Overall it is an exquisite novel and one I will be adding to my list of books I want to buy. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
That is all for today. Keep Reading!
