I'm sure my traditional style of reviewing won't work here because it will cause too many spoilers. Lost from Legend is about a female warrior who lost her love and struggles to move on with her life. However life is never really that simple and we end up with a story of lost memories, good versus evil, faith, and hope. I find all of these to be intriguing and complex when reading a fantasy novel. Lost from Legend includes all of the high fantasy elements that you know and love. Happy Reading!

Firstly, and as always, I didn't pay anything for this book but instead received it for the purposes of review. Also as always, my candid opinions follow.
To begin, I will say that this turned out to not be my cup of tea, as the proverbial phrase goes, but I can see how some might like it. Therefore, I'll spend some time describing it rather than trying to critique it.
The heart of this book is action... then there's more action. Then after that there's even more action. Despite that there's still somewhat of a story line but that seems completely secondary to the blood dripping and the sweating and the grunting and the slicing thing's heads off and main characters getting stabbed fatally but still being perfectly fine. It's non-stop grip it and rip it insanity from beginning to end.
In summary, a good book for those who want to simply lose themselves in the imagery of crazy fast-paced action-adventure can look here. It's not the most coherent work I've read in the past year but it certainly doesn't mess around. If you like the first 4 pages you'll love the whole thing.
PS: If you like my review, and vote it helpful. Thanks!

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
After reading the authors "Iron Flower" series I knew this would be action packed. However this storyline just seemed to fall a little short. The descriptions were more vague and you sometimes filled in the blanks on your own, making it hard to construct a picture in your head. That being said I wouldn't be quick to just turn my nose up at this novel.
