I suggested this book at Christmas, when I bought it. It looked intriguing, but life got in the way, and I have only just finished it. I give it a solid 5 stars.
World-building
must be the most difficult part of being a fantasy writer. To take a blank
page, and through a narrative, paint a picture which allows the reader to “see”
the world in which a story takes place is amazing. In Tapasya, David Gilchrist
shows mastery at world-building. I found it intriguing and delightful to read
this story. The tale opens and each page illuminates more of the fabric of this
mysterious place and its people. His descriptions gave me detail which allowed
me to immerse myself in this story. I could not ask for more from a book.
Independent Authors with a good narrative style are difficult to find. David
Gilchrist is certainly a treasure in this regard. If you are looking for a
fantasy tale to keep you intrigued, and wondering what comes next, get a copy
of Tapasya today. You will not be disappointed!
