Review of The Nine Cities of Istoría
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳í𝘢 by Caden L. Sochor presents an entertaining story about the Kingdom of Istoria, the rule of Vane monarch, and the prophecy delivered by Raven Gillian.
The people of Istoria face tough living conditions, poverty, hunger, tragedies like fire, and a restless people, as others are forced into refuge. However, King Felix is not relenting. The royal family continues to impose more tax on the people. The story takes a turn with the arrival of the prophecy by Raven Gillian, the Fourth, and the Prophet of King Felix Vane, the Third. The king had ordered Raven to exercise restraint, keep quiet, and not to talk to anyone about the prophecy. But Raven tells the King to warn the people about the situation in Istoria. King Felix describes the prophet Raven Gillian as a prophet who intends to become a self-fulfilling harbinger, one who calls for war. This is just the beginning of the story. Will the prophecy of Raven Gillian come to pass? Will the people follow prophet Raven Gillian or obey their king? Read on to find out.
This was a short but intriguing story. From the start, the author caught my attention as I kept turning the pages to find out what became of Istoria and the royal family.
I liked how the author moulded the story around King Felix and his successor as well as around Raven Gillian and his son Savollay Gillian. Savollay and Samrin made the story even more mouthwatering in the subsequent encounters in Istoria. I was indeed eager to find out what would ultimately happen in the Palace, in Ocudormia, Gnadshire, and all the other cities of Istoria.
I also liked the author's unique writing style. The author used different fonts for direct speech and descriptions of scenes to make it easier for the reader to follow the story. The story flows smoothly from the beginning to the end. There are no complicated vocabularies that could make the story difficult to follow.
I couldn't dislike anything about this book. This is a well-written story. The editing is superb. No grammatical errors noted throughout the book.
I give this book a 𝟓 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟓-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 rating. I enjoyed reading it, and I recommend it to readers who like history and thrilling stories. Once you grab this book, you won't put it aside until you are done with the last page.
