Fangs and Feathers

Alex Brown

Thirteen teens all living their worst nightmare: Being stuck in a fairytale world.

 

Ethiontia is a land full of magic, mystery, and chaos. At their birth, 13 who were chosen by the gods of Ethiontia were sent through a portal to our world, separated. Now, thirteen years later, they find each other, which triggers a chain of horrible events. Thrown into a world of fear and desparation, they must uncover their true destinies if they are to save both their world and Ethiontia. In a time of darkness, the gods will send a blessed Coven the world to mend.

This book is as magical as its promises. You have an amazing imagination to create this world. The thought of Weretigers pulled me into this (semi wished she had been a Weretiger, would have been different). This is a fantastic mystical place you have created – Good luck

This book is why kids, and adults alike, escape into fantasy... Backed.

What a beautiful piece! I feel like I can connect with the characters, almost as if we're in the same mind set ;). It's a read that isn't to be missed, specifically with such likable teens as your protagonists. They're people I'd be friends with if somehow force into that universe. Backed.

Burgio wrote 797 days ago

This is a good book for young adults. Every teenager wishes at least once that he didn’t belong to his parents; that his real parent would show up and rescue him from his parent’s rules or from embarrassing him at a teacher’s meeting. And here, that happens to thirteen teenagers. Makes it an appealing book for this age group even if the adventures that occur from discovering they are from out of this world aren’t all that great. Backed. Burgio (Grain of Salt).

Just a lovely book. Despite what so many think, children's and YA literature is hard to pull off without seeming to talk down. You've skillfully avoided that trap and talk to them on an equal footing. Kids know this: they're not stupid. This is very well written and certainly one I'd recommend if a parent asked me.

This is going to be backed.

Yeah - I am outta my element here but you do have the skills to write this teen tale. Think your target audience could be engaged here. Those pitches did sell me so kudos to you. SHELVED!

I can use your comments on my book when you get the chance. Cheers!

Wonderful, entertaining read, it's perfect for your target audience. Ethiontia is a vivid and realistic world and you've crafted it well. I really enjoyed this!

Wonderful voice. Good characterization. Backed.

kittykat wrote 799 days ago

Love the prologue - full of drama and strong imagery such as the silver fur/silver hair, or the bullet hole in Ayameko's human form. Then you switch to a light, humourous tone for the next chapter which is really accessible. Teenagers and pre-teens will love this.

Happily backed!

Nice. Teens are a funny choice, although I bet each texting, blogging, mall-walking one of them still has a bit of love for magic and fairies they don't want to mention in the high school cafeteria.
I always liked the ones who didn't mind.

Well done with this dialogue.

You really have your finger on the pulse of teenagers! WOW - even though this is a fantasy novel it reads so down to earth! Wonderful! BACKED with pleasure!

Really, Really great for the teen audiences, who will certainly be after this book when it is in the book stores. Good luck with a fantastic fantasy, Alex. Backed.

lynn clayton wrote 800 days ago

It's written in dramatic language and has all the exoticism in terms of names and scenery necessary for fantasy lovers. You can do realism and even humour when required, though, the washing machine incident being a case in point - I can think of no better nor convincing portal. Ingenious. Backed. Lynn

You have a good narrative voice which carries your story well. I wish you the very best of luck with your book. kind regards pinkcoffee 'In The Moment'

Barry Wenlock wrote 801 days ago

Hi - I'm afraid fantasy always confuse me with the number of names. There are so many in your opening chapter -- even in the forward and the Prologue. Experienced lovers of F will no doubt cope more easily than I did. Your work seems well-written and very imaginative, so I have backed you. Best wishes and good luck.

Great plot and chapter one is fast paced and full of action in Ethiontia. Justin and Turin look to be exciting characters. Backed with pleasure

Teens, eh? Always in a mood! You get into the mindset of your characters well and give voice to their concerns and fears. This is developing into an entertaining read, even for an older person. High school is as much a fantasy landscape to me as the mythical one! Jim Darcy The Firelord's Crown

A look at Sicilian Shadows would be greatly appreciated.

If you back my work, you may also want to approach BJD (a big supporter of my work) for a further read and possible backing of your book.

Too much dialogue in my opinion, the story line's good though. Backed.

This is a very polished piece of work that I'm happy to back.
