Epic Story, Wonderfully Illustrated!

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

The Unicorn and the Lion, a tale about the fantasy kingdom of Karia, is exquisitely written and wonderfully illustrated. This is an epic story of the rise to power, marked by unexpected defeats and unexpected heroes. The book will entertain teens and adults alike, and no doubt many will be inspired to reread the book again and again. Each chapter begins with a spectacular image of characters—human, faery, or beast—who populate the scene to follow. The faces, hair, clothing, and backdrops are drop-dead gorgeous, and the pictures make you want to read on to find out who the characters are and what becomes of them. Read it now and tell your friends. This is literary entertainment at the highest level.

Beautiful Book and Story

The Unicorn and the Lion is a delightful journey into a world of enchantment. The story is beautifully complemented by great illustrations.

The high-quality binding of the physical copy adds a luxurious touch! This book is not just a story; it's a visual and tactile delight, making it a must-read for those who appreciate the art of storytelling and the beauty of a well-crafted book.

If you enjoy movies like Legend by Ridley Scott, as well as LOTR, this story would be for you!

This storie has multiple stories that intertwine and connect at the end. It is a spin off of a King Arthur tale. I found it really interesting until the end when everything collided and became very fanciful. I'm also not a fan of anything that speaks ill of God and this is very much in support of the mystical. This has very dark spots as well, which I find dark humor funny but it's not for everyone. In general this story a mash up and very confusing to follow.

Beautifully written

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024

There's a review out there saying this novel is AI generated.
AI is an emergent technology, everybody is appropriately wary and imaginations are running wild. But we as a society have an obligation to be very sure when making accusations like that. Because if wrong, we are slandering a very human artist and the blood sweat and tears that they poured into their work.
I know for a fact, that this novel is not AI generated because the author is a close friend and I have watched, over the years, as he has struggled over this great work of art. I have seen it develop and take shape and the final work is a masterpiece.
Nobody has the tools to make that call, certainly not after reading a single paragraph. Anyone who sticks with the story longer than that will be hooked. The Unicorn and the Lion is an epic story, beautifully told, I highly recommend it.

A well-written story.

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2023

I was given an advanced reader copy of this book. Though fantasy isn’t my preferred genre, I found this book to be very well-written and a captivating work. Set in a fantasy setting, the book delves into the heart and purpose of man, and the conflict that stirs from their search for meaning.

While the perspective in the story shifts, leaving several characters for the reader to root for, I would say that my favorite character was King Richard. Not perfect by any means, he still did his best to do what he believed was right for his people. However, he still had a selfish side to him, making him a believable character. This selfish side actually led to one of my favorite scenes in which Prince Henry, King Richards brother, is speaking to Richard, not knowing that he had been transformed into a tree. This scene truly informed the reader how caring Henry for his family.

I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates fantasy, as it contains fantastical elements and the plot is well thought out.

AI written book

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

Loved the cover and the description. Read the first paragraph and immediately knew it was written by AI. I've seen so many AI written book using the exact same language word for word. Going to have to return it. So disappointing.

Oh, What Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023

The Unicorn and the Lion is told with rich language that doesn’t talk down to the audience. And that’s so refreshing!

This writer has woven together a fantasy world full of rich, detailed history and culture as old as the Earth. The characters are full of life, purpose and are deeply human and relatable. There is endless excitement and humor throughout.

I really enjoyed all the fairy lore. Now I know to never offer a naked fairy clothing unless you want to offend them. As the author explained, they are perfectly beautiful as they are!

I loved the excerpt where Richard is transformed into a tree, as I could visualize his arms turning into branches and his toes becoming roots as he is anchored to the ground.

And if anyone up for a game of Quoits, let me know!

Let your world dissolve away and immerse yourself into this one. It will be worth your time.

Delightful!

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023

This tale was so well written you could actually put yourself on the path of adventure. It reads like a young adult book, but the vocabulary is heightened and keeps you wanting more. Any age group could appreciate the detailed description of places and events. Loved reading this book, couldn't put it down. The fun and excitement was amazing. Have fun!
