Book cover of Fourth Wing

Liam Lombard ❤️ loved this book because...

I appreciated the fast pace nature and how the twists were not always what I expected. The magic/dragons system was also fun.

My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Murtagh

Liam Lombard 👍 liked this book because...

This was a nice book in the sense that it made me remember the past (Eragon) as well as puzzle out a character we already knew. Some of the pacing was a bit off and at times it seemed we deviated from the plot, but overall it was a great nostalgic book that made me appreciate the world building and characters.

The Calling

By Liam Lombard,

Book cover of The Calling

What is my book about?

Farom is on the brink of collapse as time tries to correct its unnatural flow. Days stretch on for years only to be followed by equally long nights. Toxicity and mushrooms pervade the world as it slowly rots.

Despite the decay, Dromdil and his village live semi-normal lives until he learns about the unusual creation of his people. Following this discovery, time itself choses him as its avatar. After a desperate rescue goes awry, Dromdil encounters a creature that resides in his shadow and a fairy who’s expertise in time is second only to her aloof personality. Together, they try to parse through time’s unclear warnings as they fight against the onslaught of magic, traps, and the planet’s harsh environment.

As time reveals her secrets, Dromdil must attune his own multi-dimensional powers to save all that he cares about. Otherwise he could lose more than just his peaceful homeland.
