The Arena by R.B. EllisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A well-crafted mythical fantasy...
The Arena (The Shadow Epics Book 1) by R.B. Ellis is a wonderfully written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn settings and characters. The author weaves a well-crafted mythical fantasy that will captivate the reader from the start. Skillfully constructed, this multi-layered fantasy will have you turning the pages from beginning to end. There’s plenty of imagery in the writing style that makes you feel you are right there in the story, and that’s something I look for in a good book.
I’m a big fan of fantasy fiction, so this for me was a phenomenal read. The vivid descriptions of the settings, situations, and the characters were stunning and realistic. The author’s use of genuine dialogue further added to the overall atmosphere of authenticity.
I’ll be looking forward to reading more from R.B. Ellis in the future. I would highly recommend this book, and add that it has a distinctly cinematic feel to it. Highly recommended reading and a well-deserved five stars from me.
