In Harm's Way Review
In Harm's Way is written by M.H. Snowy and is due for release June 1, 2016. I'm guessing it is the first in a series since it ended with "end of part 1." It's a fantasy short story (and in my opinion kind of cute).
"Nightmares or waking dreams? Only the keeper of the Legend knows…and it’s up to him to keep them from Harm!
By day, Jeffery is the best friend of Montague the magician. By night, he’s the powerful warrior, Harm, The Legend, who leads a band of Berserkers—ridding the land of evil while saving villages by the score. Only Montague knows the villagers also have to cough up a hefty pouch of coin for the privilege of being rescued!
All Jeffery knows is he has no memory of any battle he fights. Under the Spirit of Lohocla, he awakens the morning after the battle barely able to think for the pain in his skull and the lethargy in his body. The more Jeffery tries to discover his lost memories, the vaguer Montague becomes until it’s too late not to tell the truth—at least part of it. But how could Jeffery ever imagine his entire life may be smoke and mirrors...just ephemeral fragments of dreams?IN HARM’S WAY– enter a world of magic, mayhem, and mystery you may never be able to leave…if the Spirit of Lohocla captures you in its embrace! "~Goodreads
We know little about the world, but I'm thinking it will be revealed later. And while this did put me off a bit, I didn't care too much since it wasn't central to 'part 1'. There is a plot but it's hard to recognize, and I'm eager to see how the story unfolds itself since the end was quite interesting. There was also some relativism in the story, and since I don't agree with that it caused me to lower the rating.
In Harm's Way is well written, and in my opinion, quite funny. Montague had me laughing at times as did a few other characters. The story was quite intriguing, and I think I've figured out one of the many questions. However, there are a lot I'm wondering the answer to. Since there were only about eighty pages, the characters are still in the development stage somewhat but it didn't really bug me.
I enjoyed reading the story and can't wait to see where it goes. I'm going to leave you with a quote I found funny.
"After all, whistling put everyone at ease. Unless it was a funeral dirge. But he didn't want to think about that."
