The Hunger eBook Michael D Young

What I liked most about this book was being taken to places (figuratively) that I didn't expect. Sure, the author creates his own style of magic, a new land, unique magical creatures, but the biggest plus for me was that I didn't ever find myself anticipating what was going to happen next. The story flow didn't feel cliché even when familiar elements were present.

I also liked the religions that the author created in this fantasy world. At first the religious component seemed to be a fairly bland addition, but as mysteries unfolded the religious facets became much more interesting. The use of color became more meaningful, too.

This book isn't flawless; the dialogue and general word choice were great sometimes and at other times felt like they could have been improved. I actually didn't care for the first chapter very much. But despite a few imperfections, the book provides an imaginative and enjoyable story. The book was interesting enough early on but got better as the story progressed. The story didn't finish entirely by the end of the book, but this ending was satisfying (unlike some other books that feel like the author cut off a too-long story lazily).

The editing should have been better. The mistakes weren't enough to pull me out of the story, but I felt like the book deserved better review before publication. Even so, it's still very readable.

I would also note that I think the current pattern for written reviews of this book is honest. Many books, movies, and products of any other kind get excessive 5-star reviews when they're really 1- or 2- or 3-star products. This book really merits the ratings it is getting, and it is worth a read.

P.S. Am I crazy, or did we never actually encounter the floating city that is shown on the front cover and mentioned on the back cover? I'm thinking that it must have been moved to a sequel during the writing process (which is kind of funny).

The Hunger eBook Michael D Young Reviews

This book left me wanting to read the sequel. It took a couple of chapters to wrap myself around the story, to figure out who was who. Once I realized that it is written from two men's viewpoints, and switches between the two, I was able to get involved. There are several main characters, whom I grew to like. There are several plot twists that kept me guessing and the end definitely was a cliff-hanger. This book was written well, and has the potential to grow into something really big. I am happy to recommend this author and book to my friends and fellow fantasy readers. Disclaimer I recieved this book at a greatly reduced price for my honost opinion. All thoughts are my own.

I recently read and reviewed the eBook, The Hunger, by Michael D. Young. This isn't the style of book I usually read, but about midway through, I was wondering what was going to happen next.

We begin the story being introduced to, Jamith, a scholar ho is at the Twilight Library to learn the truth about Rahim, the deity of this world. Jamith learns that Rahim divided himself into 6 parts, 3 of light and 3 of dark, in order to keep his power in check. While during his stay at the library, Jamith also reanimates one part of Rahim, and her name is Evelet.

We are introduced to Azil, Jamith's best friend. Jamith sends Azil, and Evelet on an adventure to find a young orphan named, Kaval, who has been mistaken as a Lord. Azil and Evelet kidnap Kaval at a ball, and this is where this adventure begins.

Once the adventure began, it was really hard to put it down. It was a good read.

Full Disclosure I received this eBook for free or a discounted price for my honest and unbiased opinion. I am under no obligation to give a positive or 5 star rating.
I received a copy of The Hunger from Future House Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This is pretty good fantasy story with obvious influences from Brandon Sanderson at the start but eventually evoked enough originality to convey a voice of its own.

I liked the structure of the book. Each chapter is preceded by a journal entry before it goes into the main body of the story. It became quite obvious after a while as to how the journal entries teased out revelations that leads in very well into to the progression of the main narrative. The exposition was well-handled in this sense, as the main story was filled with action from the very first chapter and it can feel awkward when the author info-dumps in the midst of all that. The world-building was also interesting. The magic system was based on three different types of Sustenance (colour-based) providing magical feats of strength/skill, motion and sight. Each of this Sustenance was governed by a clan. There are also mage creatures which seemed to be the creation of a god named Rahim, for which man’s faith had gone awry.

The ending at first felt a bit strange to me and after much contemplation, I realised that there was a bit of genre subversion happening at the end of this book. However, I can't really say much more about it without spoilers, and I believe the author paved the way for a potential sequel even though this book didn't seem to be marketed as a series.

The key aspect of the book which kept it from being great in my opinion was the characterisation. While the POVs were kept to 3 main characters in the central story and another in the journal entries, I felt disconnected from them until quite late in the story. Maybe the narrative had too much going on and not enough personal contemplation, albeit this is a hard balance to achieve lest the pacing suffers. Notwithstanding, it is an interesting fantasy read for fans of the genre who are looking for newer ideas/concepts. And if there is a sequel to The Hunger, I will read it.
