Description

Hallon Nilsdotter was born in 1268 and trained in the magics of the shamans of old Sweden. Now, in 1924, she hunts for the Calamity, a prophesied disaster. Along with her spirit allies and the young scientist Milo Rabbit, Hallon forces open a tear in the boundary of their universe to travel to another.

An old war has ruined this land, breaking its weather systems, and a new war is brewing between the Untainted and those who show strange mutations. On the run after being identified as abnormal, Hallon and Milo must navigate this new world of machine guns, gas attacks, and fallen spirits. All the while, the Calamity looms over them.

The book is complete at 46 chapters, although I may revisit with short stories in the future.

    Thanks for the wonderful tale. I've throughly enjoyed following Hallon, Milo and co on their epic quest. I think this would make a wonderful visual novel or even animated screenplay. Your way with world is just sublime!
    Wishing you all the best with whatever comes next, thanks again!

    EDIT: I just finished reading this story, the quality remains steady throughout. I very much enjoyed reading all the way through, and am quite satisfied with the endin.
    Thanks 3seed for a great story!
    Original review written at Chapter 7:
    This is another fantastic yarn written by an author who knows how to create deep worlds and realistic characters. I was a loyal reader of the previous RR fiction, and now will be regularly reading this story.
    If you enjoy a story that builds on the initial premise in a way that flows and is believable within the constructed world, and you enjoy characters that seem to come alive as they struggle though the plot, then this is for you.
    My expectations for this story as a reader coming directly from the authors last story here on RR, might actually be a little bit skewed. I was expecting a bit of a slow build and pacing, as that is what we got when learning about the world Eight experienced as a newly incarnated child. So far, however, the pacing and action content in the first few chapters here is faster and more diverse, and I am enjoying the change immensely.
    The writing style is a much appreciated change of pace from the standard amateur RR level you would expect. This composition is polished, and at times even poetic. I find each scene fluidly flows into the one that follows.
    Give this story and the author's other works a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Well to start..
    When I saw this book originally I hesitated reading it, but I was always bumping into it , so I said let me read it today . I finished this book in roughly six hours- I read fast - I didn't think I would be able to read it but it is what it is.
    Now to the book.
    The author begins the book with questions ands ends with more questions. This questions in my opinion make the book an original masterpiece. I really connected with the main characters. Hallon's surety and Milo's naivette, The dragon's motives-who understands a dragon anyway?-, Mary's compassion.. The side characters were also well fleshed out.
    All in all I recommend this book any one who wants to take a break sometime from too much OPNESS😂😂🔥

    This book is very good! I love all of the historoical details. Also like the parallel universe idea. I like how you provide details on the characters and the world in which they interact. It allows me to  create a picture of it in my mind. I just finished chapter 2 and look forward to reading more.

    The grammar is perfect, the style is great, no complaints there.
    Even though the book is not focused on the characters overmuch, they are still pretty well developed and executed and i have no issues with them whatsoever.
    The worldbuilding and story is where this novel really shines, and I would't want to spoil anything.
    Its not perfect and not the best book i have ever read but it is solid. Not an amazing read but a good, solid one. Would recommend.

    Alright, so I haven’t written a review before for RR.  So here’s a first.  We’re also only 8 chapters in, so I may have to update this down the line.  Based on what I’ve seen thus far though, and based on my past experience with reading the author’s work, here’s what I’ve seen and what I’m expecting.
    First thing I want to start with is that the author already has one fiction up on RR.  It didn’t stop midway or on a cliffhanger or when things started getting difficult. It reached a satisfying conclusion.  Now, from what I understand, there’s more to come eventually, but even if the author abandoned it there, you’re not left hanging.  So if you invest in this one, you shouldn’t have to worry about the author just bugging out sometime.  The author seems to be in it for the long haul and that’s both good and unusual for RR.
    Update length/frequency:  Updates thus far have been more frequent than the last fiction, though I wouldn’t be surprised if that tapered off a bit as it got traction.  Last fiction was an update once a week, this one thus far seems to be 2 or 3 times a week right now right now, but again, that might taper off.  That being said, the updates were always regular.  Once a posting schedule gets decided, the author at least in the past has stuck to it quite faithfully, again, unlike the majority of fictions on RR.  Updates were around 3k words based on the last chapter I checked and use spelling and grammar a hell of a lot better than mine.  Dialog is usually well done.
    Pacing:  So far this one is looking like a faster paced story than the author’s last tale, though that might scale back a bit.  Last story was a bit of a slow burn compared to some of the other stories you might be used to reading.  It’s not going to be a nonstop adrenaline ride, the author takes their time to build the world/characters.
    Alright, by now, assuming you’re still reading this review, you’ve got to be saying to yourself, “cool beans, but what do I have to look forward to with th

    Well written story with interesting characters. Lots of plot armor and deus ex machina and questionable or inexplicable decisions. Not every plot point is resolved in a satisfying way. Pretty dark world. Reviews must be at least 50 words long. Reviews must be at least 50 words long. Reviews must be at least 50 words long.
