The Demon's Vengeance

THE DEMON'S VENGEANCE
This is an ambitious venture you've written. A great start, which I particularly enjoyed.
Your style, especially the narrative is very impressive. Your characters are real and believable, the dialogue I found to be crisp and quite genuine.The pace is fast with little breaks in the action. Phew! Exhausting in places.
Well done - imaginative and packed with action. I think (IMHO) that YA will enjoy this. A good read and I will back this asap when I've had time to rearrange my shelf.
Good luck

THE ASSASSINS VILLAGE

Shades of The Silmarillion at the start of this high fantasy, Alan, and nothing wrong with that at all; it's one of my favourite books. Biblical language adds to the semi-religious nature of the creation, 'Abstrath did laugh in joy'. (Though be wary of contrasting this with modern terms like 'Fantastic!' or maybe simplify by removing the 'did's, e.g. 'Abstrath laughed with joy'.) So the demi-gods or angels were de-winged by battle and must earn their wings afresh.

On the planet, a lesser war is at hand with the goblins. Jouveno Wolfmane arrives home to find his city in flames. (I wonder if it would be possible to get to this very personal and moving part of the story sooner in this chapter then fill in the detailed background about the war, etc. as the rest of the story progresses - just a thought.) 'Leaving one burning graveyard to enter another', sadly he arrived home too late...

Suspicion makes everyone an enemy, even the Silvarin Knights, though they prove allies. Who is the man in black, the Exile? Hm, and Jouveno is half demon, and the Exile called him brother...

An ambitious epic fantasy with some remarkable writing, lavish descriptions and a plot that keeps the reader guessing. It will benefit from a little more editing (see some suggestions below) but is an admirable achievement ... backed.

Possible nits: The punctuations is slightly askew in places - slight changes here, 'eight incorporeal beings who hovered, overlooking ... One of the beings gazed about him with great pleasure. [new paragraph] "This, my brethren, is my domain!" joyously did he claim...'

'meant to bare [bear] life'. 'a live [life] after their death'. 'we were heading out on patrol and was [were] asked'. 'unable to bare [bear] the pain'. Consider using words other than 'OK' and 'honey'. Also consider shortening the longer chapters by subdividing them.

(Just a word of advice on editing your chapters on authonomy, in case you haven't already: use UPDATE to load the edited chapters. Don't use DELETE and then reload as this can cause problems.)

This is fantasy and scholarship. You details are awesome and your writing is polished and flawless. This is a sure treat for lovers of fantasy.
I found your book impressive and more so, you connect well with the reader. It is stimulating and provocative in content. Your style is a cut above the rest.
It was indeed a pleasure to read it.

Thank you for accepting my request to swap reads. I hope you find time to read Twin Fates. Until then, I am glad to have read The Demon's Vengeance. As a fellow fantasy writer, I admire your use of unusual names. I am always a fan of originality. Your plot is strong and your characters appear to be well formed (from what I've read so far). You dialogue sounds realist and flows well within the story. I hope you find as much joy in my novel as I have your. Need I say it? Backed!

Alan, The Demons Vengeance...
Very interesting start to the story. What an imagination. How the world was created and how the feuding began...
the division of the Gods. Most defiantly a different kind of read for me, non the less interesting.
The first chapter "Aeria instructed the air in the skies to move and sweep across the lands, to rustle through the leaves of the trees, to carry the pollen of the flowers and the streak across the seas."
What is streak across the seas? Not really sure what you are trying to say,
It started off sort of poetic but then it lost me.
Later on
The air, being the playful thing that it is also decided that it would pick up the water and hurl it playfully at the land in the form of waves, although sometimes it does get a little carried away and threw the waves a little too far and flooded the land'. Past and present tense in that sentence... Perhaps.... and throws the waves a little too far which floods the land?
In Chapter two. Jouveno Wolfmane coming home to find his family home burning and all the family members dead was heart wrenching and portrayed by the writer beautifully. When Jouveno held his sister whom his mother had tried to protect was a so sad and again written with feeling.
One thing i noticed "Frowning, he looked down at her hand and noticing it closed shut around something he prised it open to reveal a golden locket.
Perhaps...Frowning, he looked down at her and noticed her hand was clutching something, he pried it open to reveal a golden locket.
The next lines after that bring out the emotion of knowing he wasn't there to save his family, was heart wrenching.
What beautiful way of bringing the reader in to feel the emotion of the moment.
I guess I looked more at the emotional feel that you were trying to portray and I feel you have a wonderful way with words and have a unique ability to write and feel. I hope that makes sense.
I don not critique sentence/paragraph structure or punctuation. I need help with that myself :o)

I used to preview books my children would read as young adults before I would let them read...
I did a lot of reading but I felt as a parent I should know what my children are reading and what influences are being brought to them...
This is a book I would let them read.
Njoyed

Great start - not for the religious-hearted I fear. They will no doubt be appalled at an idea like this, but you should be applauded instead. Very well written, and showing great imagination. Backed. Colin

The new chapters are just rife with misspellings, and syntactical, punctuational, and usage errors. I recommend going through with considerable care and cleaning them up because they really can throw the reader off the story - and you want the next reader to be an editor at a major publishing house - and what a story it is the reader would thus miss.

I find each subsequent chapter in your story to be increasingly in an original voice. There are elements that read like Moorcock or Zelazny and the like, but there's something in your work that I hope to see more of - an original voice. Bring that more to the fore and I promise you that you will have a real winner here.

My thanks, and I'm not surprised to be frank although i'm a bit disappointed that my spelling aid has missed the spelling errors. Damn microsoft and their poorly created technologies! haha.

I will certainly double back over myself and set them straight and hopefully after the editing you will see more of the voice you noticed later on in the story all the way through.

Kindest regards
Alan

Alan -

The Demon's Vengeance - you got the right tone for an epic and you conjour up some fantastical creatures. Animation comes to mind, somehow. In chapter 4 ... Red eyes burned into his own ... could stand alone as a sentence. Any tips I could offer towards sculpting? Maybe re-think the use of the word 'seems''. It's a vague term and mostly dilutes the power of a sentence. And objects - does the tankard holding down the map earn its keep in the narrative or is it ornament? These are thoughts that popped up while reading. There's a fantastic world in your mind whose characters will probably have their own agenda. Best success with your creation.

Pia (Course of Mirrors)

Many thanks for that. I have now reduced the number of seems and seemed in the novel (christ there was a lot). Once i have finished writing and re-edit, I'll post the amendments up.

Pia (Course of Mirrors)

Liking this—added it to my watchlist. I've only read through the first bit because I'd like to see where this is once you've done some editing.

Well, Alan. An impressive read.

Your narrative style is quite impressive. Guessing that this is intended as a YA, I'd say it's quite dark as YA fction goes. The characters are flesh-and-blood, the dialogue is crisp and genuine, and your pace is basically good though sometimes this reader, at least, craved a little break in the action to keep him reading with enjoyment, able to take it all in.

My minor quibbles would be that your prologue is far lengthier than the usual, and this reader, at least, started thinking enough already; let's get on with the story. I also feel the names are sometimes just a bit "much", like they were created by a computer-driven program for creating Tolkienesque names.

My deeper concern is this. The market is absolutely saturated. There are more GOOD fantasy epics out there than you could shake a stick, excuse me, shake a wand at. I know from editors that they cringe to get one more fantasy manuscript - unless it is really different, really something unusual. Think of Donaldson, who really broke the mold with his Thomas Covenant disbelieving in the Land, and indeed raping the first woman he comes across. That was different. That stood out. And, of course, the series did very well. Most fantasies these days drop like a stone within a few weeks of release, taking with them any hope the author might otherwise have of publishing more.

My advice to you is, if you don't see fit to rework this basically good story by really letting your imagination go in new, unusual directions, then put this one aside and start on a truly original story. It took me the writing of four novels before I really got "formula" out of my head and started writing truly original stuff. Above all, don't give up when - as you will - you receive comments from editors along these lines. Keep writing!

Thank you for the honest critique. I agree with part of what you are saying about the fantasy market, however this story is part of a series and out of the following stories its i think my least favourite out of them. I need this story to be told because it sets the scene for the others. I.E. It's to show how Jouveno Wolfmane becomes Ranger and also where it all stemmed from.

The story does need to be worked on. This novel is still W.I.P in its first draft so once the tale is told i will be going back and starting again and picking up on things that i either left out or need to flesh out. Giving people a bit of a break is something that comes later, however i do understand that i could space certain sections out a little more to create more of the calm before the storm / eye of the hurricane feeling to give the reader a bit of a break.

The Prologue was there in this one as more of an optional (seeing as I used to skip the prologue when i first started reading novels,) read. It gave background to the creation of my world and gave an idea as to where it all stemmed from and why Abstrath is the way that he is and why the beast tribes (brought more significantly into the story past what i have submitted thus far) are the way that they are.

Again thank you to you and all others who have commented on my work and indeed for reading it in the first place. It really means a lot.

Kindest Regards to all
Alan

This is an interesting write. you have a wondeful imagination, and a strong voice, that brings the world you have creted to life. The story telling reads a little awkward at times, but nothing that could not be ironed out with a little polishing. I am definitly willing to back your writing. Please read some of my book when you have time and let me know what you think

Shelved The Demon's Vengeance. Good work so far. 'In the beginning, there was darkness.' [I wonder how many times I've heard that line before? It works fine here, but even so ---anyway, as I say, nicely done in what I've read so far. Wordy here and there ['from a distance away' 'stared at him in disgust as she replied' - but that's for the next edit.] I'll return after reading more if I see anything worth a mention.

I've read to chapter 5. Is chapter four really one chapter? It's sooooo long, but I'm always saying that - I have a thing about long chapters. As a fellow YA writer, I tried to look at it from that perspective mostly, and I have to say, it could just as easily be simply a general fiction book for adults too. It doesn't seem particularly slanted to a younger age group or have a young focus, but that's fine - bigger audience ;) You have chosen a crowded genre and have the extra issue of watching out for cliche with your characters and setting, however your story is fast paced, exciting and I'll look out for you posting more. Are you in the process of writing it? Or just not uploaded it all?

STONES.

In the process of writing; so as i get the ideas out of my head and onto the screen, you will be able to read them on here. It's also the reason why I have yet to correct all the grammatical errors others have kindly pointed out for me. It's not that I'm ignoring them :-).

Also, I don't have chapters in my story. so I've broken it down into 130kb documents for the purposes of this site. It is, however, split into three parts and the breakages I've placed (hopefully at regularish intervals) are to show a jump in perspective or time and also, to allow the reader to pause there should they choose to do so.

I'm happy that you think it could appeal to all ages and not just young adults, I think I originally placed it in that genre for two reasons. The first being that I'm of thar age group still (just :p) and figured that people more my age would enjoy it because, (secondly) I was unsure if the story's overall voice sounded old or experienced enough to appeal to the older generations. (Hope that makes sense...).

I think all genres are getting to the point of over-crowding these days. I think the challenge within any otf these confines is to create something that is unique in the way that you tell it. I'm glad that you've enjoyed everything so far and I hope that the rest of it meets expectation :-).

An enchanting tale, and a nice telling of what has been done many times before. I must say it is slightly similar to parts of The Silmarlion, but I like it nonetheless.
A few commas seem to be out of place at the beginning, and some of the speech can be confusing.

Backed,
Dagura

My thanks to all of you for your comments, the things that have been pointed out I will certainly address when I come to edit the story. The only reason why I have yet to do so is that I'm still trying to seal up the last 30000 words or so before I go back and work my way back through, fleshing out and correcting the inconsistancies and errors that I've made along the way. So thank you to CarolinaAl, KW and Barry Wenlock for those :D

For all those who asked about the front cover, I hope the picture I have uploading at the moment (as of the evening of the 28th September) does not disappoint. Alex is an awesome artist who has taken painstaking effort to portray for you (and me) the scene that I wanted. So a special thank you to him for that the picture you will see, took my breath away of how vividly he had depicted the scene I had in my head, which he somehow plucked out of my head and put it on the screen for you all to see.

It pleases me greatly that so many have enjoyed reading my work so much and I will be adding more as it is done for those that are enjoying the read and wish to continue with it.

Kindest Regards to you all

"What do you think brother Obsath?" Comma after 'think.' When you address someone in dialogue, offset their name or title with a comma. There are more cases of this type of problem. Other than that, this is a slick and pacy fantasy. Intriguing premise. A swirling story. Richly imagined. Descriptive without being wordy. Eclectic cast of characters. Adroit writing. A magnetic read. Backed.

With your style and writing capabilities you must be well on the way to finishing this. I enjoyed the pace and imagery.
A sure hand developing.

Wow, this really starts off with a bang! The prologue is kinda dark and creepy, which is perfect to set the tone of this book and it doesn't let up after that. You are great at writing action, it didn't lag or feel unnatural at all. The premise is unique too, similar to others but you've put your own touch on it to make it stand out. And stand out it does. Your dialogue is excellent, a nice example of how action can help the pacing of a story instead of hindering it. I'm looking forward to reading more. Once you do a general edit or two, this is going to be even stronger. Great beginning!

Missy
Mark of Eternity

You launch straight into the action with some cracking dialogue which sets a fast pace for the rest of the chapters you've got up here. A word of caution, the reader sometimes needs a slowing of pace just to prevent the breathlessness of the read becoming too much effort, which would be a great shame because this promises to be an exciting story when it's complete.

Another great fantasy on Authonomy. "Out of all the creatures upon the earth, only the winged beasts were selected to aid them in the battle, for the other six Gods knew that this would take longer than the life span of all the other creatures below." After the battle, "those who had not fought" lost their wings had "to survive upon" the land "to roam until we gain once more the favour of the Great Mother and may regain our wings . . ." This is very intriguing. I'll read more when I get some time. Backed for now.

You have set up a very nice story here. I like the prologue though as an active member of my religion I found myself comparing your creation to The Creation. There a number of similarities. I would agree with a comment below that a good edit will benefit you in both punctuation and spelling. There were also one or two minor glitches in sentence structure, but overall it is very well written. Backed with pleasure. I wish you the best.

I hope you will take a look at my novel, Earth Reaver. I welcome any comments and your backing.

Hi Alan,

I thought it well worthwhile and was fascinated by the spectacle of the eight Man-like beings (and woman-like) and the orb of light. Y
Your writing is generally very strong and your work will be enhanced by an edit for punctuation etc.
I made a few brief notes to help -- feel free to ignore, of course.

And Alex, thank you for bringing this site to my attention. Any success that comes from it I owe to you. And I think through role-playing and the developement of this series, I can't imagine Gabriel not being involved. Consider it my tribute to all that we have done together over the years :-)

As well as thanks to everyone else for their comments

This is a super re-imagining of our creation for a fantasy novel. This will keep the reader rivetted, especially if you can come up with an impressive cover. It is hard to imagine this not being a success. Paula Barrett (Cuthbert-how mean is my valley)

This is information from authonomy (so beware of any other untrue information you may receive that is spam & not quotes of authonomy):
"When you back a book, it only improves the ranking of that book, not yours. However, the author whose book you are backing may decide to back your book also, in which case yes, your ranking would be improved"
"Every time you place a book on your bookshelf, your recommendation pushes the book up the rankings. And while that book sits on your bookshelf, your reputation as a talent spotter increases depending on how well that book performs."

This is fantasy and scholarship. You details are awesome and your writing is polished and flawless. This is a sure treat for lovers of fantasy.
