Review of A Kingdom Forgotten
[Following is a volunteer review of "A Kingdom Forgotten" by Charles W. McDonald Jr..]
In A Kingdom Forgotten, Charles W. McDonald Jr. spins an incredible tale that stretches beyond time and space. At the centre of it all is Damon, a powerful figure whose desire for revenge threatens to shake the foundations of countless worlds. Damon is a master of magic, known for his ability to weave intricate spells and for his role as the wielder of the Staff of the Invoker. He is also referred to by titles such as the Dark Knight of Magic, Author of Damnation, Maker and Destroyer of Worlds, and Damon the Banished, which allude to his dark past and the significant impact he has had on the history and fate of the realms he interacts with.
His life is a story of being wronged and seeking to right those wrongs, driven by a blind ambition to avenge the death of his first wife, Dallia, who was his most precious love. Alongside Damon, we meet characters like Radin, whose family history holds the key to a lost realm, and Elise, whose life is tangled up in mysterious predictions. McDonald tackles big ideas like the hunger for power, the weight of past mistakes, and the enduring hope for something better. As these characters journey through their paths, they come face to face with who they are, challenging themes such as the nature of destiny, the complexity of morality, and the search for redemption.
What I like about this book is how it dives into Talemar's story. He used to be called Kaylan, and now he's on a journey to figure out where he fits into the big picture. It's really interesting to see him try to make sense of his past and how he's connected to important people like Radin. The way Charles W. McDonald Jr. shows Talemar's struggles and growth makes him a character you want to root for. He's got a lot of depth, and his search for meaning is something I think a lot of us can relate to. Seeing him piece together his life's puzzle keeps me hooked and makes this book hard to put down.
There is nothing to dislike about this book because it connects with your feelings. The characters go through a lot, and you can see yourself in their shoes. Their problems and the way they care for each other feel very real, and you end up caring about what happens to them. It's like they become your friends, and you're rooting for them all the way. When they're happy, you're happy, and when they're sad, you feel it too. This book pulls you in because it's not just about the story; it's about how the story makes you feel. And that's a sign of a great book. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because I got into Talemar's story. He's trying to figure out who he is and where he fits in, which is super interesting. The author, Charles W. McDonald Jr., does a great job showing Talemar's struggles and growth, making him a character you want to cheer for. His journey to find meaning kept me glued to the pages. The rating remains high because this book hits you in the feels. The characters feel like real people, and you can relate to their problems. You end up caring a lot about what happens to them, almost like they're your friends. The way the story pulls you in and makes you feel things makes it a great book. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves stories with relatable characters and deep emotions.
