Book Reviews of Eye of the Oracle (Oracles of Fire, Book 1)
Book Review: A Great Beginning
Summary: 5 Stars
Bryan Davis handles the plot exceptionally well in this novel. It's a little more history then the average plot. This is, of course hard to not do when the timeline spans some five thousand years.
Even with the `history' factor of the novel, the author still manages to draw you in and keep you there until the end. While Mr. Davis may have done very well at keeping the reader, he also established many sub-plots. The main plot itself was almost the collection of sub-plots and I think it depends on the reader whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. I somewhat enjoyed it.
The amount of detail put into this book is superb. It revealed many of the mysteries of Dragons in our Midst while creating some of its own.
With some fifteen to twenty main characters in the books cast, I had no trouble distinguishing any. Even two characters who were supposed to be completely identical, I could recognize because of their slightly differing characteristics and behavior.
I can only imagine how tedious the task must have been creating so many characters over the book's timeline. It being four/five thousand years long many characters were born and many died. Yet with all the characters, they all have unique personalities. I fell in love with each and every character even though it becomes clear who the protagonist is in the story.
Mr. Davis knows his craft. I can honestly say I saw no writing issues in this novel. To hook a reader for, in a sense, four thousand years you have to have a lot of things-loveable and realistic characters, exciting plotline-but you really have to be able to bring it all together with good writing. And Bryan Davis does just that.
Whether you're a long-time Dragons in Our Midst fan or you've never read anything by the author before, you will love this book. Eye of the Oracle is a great book with Christian values and is a welcome addition to my shelf
