The Century's Scribe: A Fantastic Decade - Historical Fiction Novel for Book Clubs & Literature Lovers | Perfect for Reading, Gifting & Collecting

On top of being a great entertaining story, The Century's Scribe is a next generation fantasy book because of the depth it brings to the reader in terms of psychological and sociological norms of our world that are paralleled through fantasy imagery and world building, which really makes us question how we see reality. The author does a phenomenal job of creating two parallel universes, both that are parallel to our world. This allows readers to more easily examine their own realities in a different way. To me, that is one of the main things that great art does.Stuck in the mundaneness of their lives back home in Kroonsaed, Dreden and his friends long for deeper connections in their lives. When they are mysteriously transported to another world, they find themselves at a crossroads in their lives. Back home they felt they were just normal people, nobody important. But in this new land, their talents that were underappreciated back home, suddenly seem to be elevating them upwards in this land. Little do they know they have stumbled upon a cataclysmic time and their future may not be what it seems...The Century's Scribe is a must read if you enjoy fantasy that wonderfully blurs the lines of magic realism. In a world not so different than the one you and I live in, yet at the same time very different with all the cool things you imagined as a kid, including a scholarly, talking dragon! The variety of characters and their perspectives create a rich world where the reader will become lost in the pages, and afterwards, feel as if these characters are people they know.Preordering book 2 as soon as I can.
