The Shattered Islands:

Part One: The Rakam

by Karpov Kinrade

Published: September 15th 2015

Publisher: Daring Books 

Genre: Epic Fantasy


Blurb:

I have seen a fallen ship once, heard the bone chill screams and swam in the blood red water. I have fought the rakam and lived. I have loved a woman and lost her to the waves. I have seen the black kiasheen.

Now, I am on a ship I do not recognize with people I do not call friend. They ask me who I am. I tell them little…

For I am here for them.

I must find their secrets. I must speak to the woman with the blue eyes. When I am finished, perhaps I will tell them who I am, for they have heard my story, and they think they know the end.

They are wrong.
This is only the start.
And tonight, I begin. 



My Review:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

The Shattered Islands is about a lonely man in search of the love of his life who was taken from him a long time ago. He sails the seas on whatever ship he can catch a ride on. The ship that he happens to be on in The Shattered Islands is attacked and a lot of the crew are lost in the battle but finally after the few that are left have almost gone their last mile another ship comes to their rescue and saves them from their attackers.

The Shattered Islands may be a short story or a short novella but it is filled with a lot of characters and it also gives you enough background info on the characters and their situations to know what is going on. You get all the info you need to know who each character is and what their purpose is. It has a lot of blood and gore for such a small story. It is like a big story in a little book.

The Shattered Islands gives you all the info you need to keep you hanging on right up until the very end. While it will keep you hanging on and wanting more it does not leave you hanging in the middle wondering what just happened when you reach the end of the story. But believe me you will want more. Why? Because Karpov-Kinrade is just good like that. I think that they throw a little bit of magic in to their stories to keep you coming back for more. Well you know something like the subliminal messages on tv commercials. No seriously though if you have not read The Shattered Islands yet then trust me you need to grab your copy today and get busy reading.

You need to check out their other books as well. All of their books are out of this world amazing. Let me warn you if you read just one of their books then let me tell you, you are going to be hooked and you will have found yourself a couple of more fantastic authors to add to your top list of authors.
