Description

Harlow Barnstabrake is the most popular young man in the village.  There is nothing he can’t do, and he usually does it better than anybody else.  But when a terrible crime is committed, Harlow must face real danger for the first time.  To unravel the mystery, Harlow must also team up with Fanny Howard, the most boring girl in the village.  Will Harlow and Fanny bring the culprit to earth without getting themselves killed?

Journeys in the Fairworld is a fantasy anthology series set in The Fairworld, a magical realm existing in parallel with our own world which is governed by a group elfin beings known only as “The Good Folk”.  These mysterious entities work in secret to keep the peace between the myriad of peoples and nations which dwell in The Fairworld. Complex relationships and bitter rivalries emerge against a backdrop of constrained resources and conflicting values to produce a world of high adventure and tangled mysteries.

This novel is a completed work (although there still may be a few outstanding errors here and there), and is about 52,000 words long.  If you want to read more stories from Journeys in the Fairworld, please checkout “Journeys in the Fairworld:  The Gatekeeper”, which is also available here on Royal Road Legends.

    ★★★ 2.5
    Alright so I tried to give the book a shot but after 3 chapters my brain felt like Swiss cheese. The Grammer in here is very good and has words that I have not seen very often but not too obscure to cause confusion. Now sadly that's about it for where the story falls the characters all blend together and there are a lot of made up words of the world building. The info dump is huge and trying to retain anything plus having hard character names makes it unbearable to read. If the story was changed to slowly provide information over the course of say 15 chapters and not info dump in the first 3 I'd probably rated it higher. The story feels very grey scaled where I'm just not pulled into the story as I am in other books. I tried to give the vook the benefit of the doubt and was going to read through to the end but just couldn't. There is only so much my brain can handle before it turns to Swiss cheese and sadly that was at the end of chapter 3. I have no real idea what is going on and am left confused with a bad taste in my mouth.
