Spellscribed Provenance edition by Kristopher Cruz Literature Fiction eBooks

To start, let me say, I paid for my copy of this book, did not know of the author prior to my reading this book, nor was it referred to me by anyone.

I am not going to provide any spoilers of the book, but did want to provide a review as I was surprised by this book. I have always been an avid reader of works of fiction, but more recently (past few years) taken a dive into the science fiction/Fantasy genre. When I first began doing so, I did not even know where to start. I was intimidated with all the authors and writing out there in the genre, and quite frankly decided on what I felt was the safest route, which was to begin with a movie I had watched, and then read the book. I then began narrowing to specific topics or character types (such as mage or mystical powers), and from there try to find books that held the most reviews, and dove in there hoping I would get lucky and find something I like. In this particular case, I did not see that many reviews, but the title and to be honest cover, caught my attention. I must say I could not have been happier with this choice of reading. I did not feel like I was reading a book on a 4th or 5th grade level to satisfy my appetite for fantasy, nor did it feel like an expanded short story that was whipped out in a couple months to make a buck. It is a very well written book containing a mix of humor, mystery, soul searching, of course, fantasy, and much more. To incorporate so many different aspects of the human emotion along with providing the sci/fi and fantasy aspect, and the mysteries of characters and magics, is just not something I've seen done very well or easily. ....top this off, with this being the foundation laying book of a series, and I'm further impressed.

Spellscribed Provenance edition by Kristopher Cruz Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews


I picked up Spellscribed based on the strong reviews and my penchant for reading independently published books. I found the story to be more entertaining as it progressed, but I needed to get past the 10% mark to get invested. The biggest problem for me was that Spellscribed needed some serious editing.

Let me give you an example "Learning since his early childhood, he had learned prodigiously..." The problem here was that he used the word "learn" twice in the same sentance. Using it a second time just doesn't add anything to the story and can throw off grammer snobs like myself. In addition, if you are using the same verb/adjective twice in a sentance, you're probably writing more than is necessary to make your point. There are multiple instances of this so I think some editing would have really tightened up the story. On the one hand, I may be a grammer snob, but on the other hand, I want some production value when I pay $6 for a book!

In any event, it's obvious that a lot of readers weren't as bothered by this issue so maybe you won't be bothered by it either. And as I said, the story picks up as it moves along so you might not notice these editing red-flags the deeper you get into the book. So check out Spellscribed if you're not nutty about grammer... but those of my ilk may be better off waiting for the next edition.
This is definitely one of the better fantasy novels I have read in a while. I couldn't put it down and read it in nearly all at once. Many self publishing authors have problems with editing or stilted writing but this was not apparent at all in the book. My only criticism is that the cover art is really bad. I think unless you can get some real professional cover art the you should just keep it as simple as possible, otherwise it make the book look amateurish. That said, I look forward to the sequel and will definitely follow the career of the promising new author.
At first I really didn't like the main character's name, but eventually I got over it because the rest of the story is so darn good. The romantic relationships in this book though straight out of a harem manga and were handled very well. If polyamorous relationships aren't your thing. You might enjoy the fish out of water tale, as Endrance (I know it takes getting used to) struggles to adapt to changing surroundings and cultures. Be forewarned there is a cliffhanger that leaves you desperate to read the next one so you can see what will happen.
Even though this book is an adventure fantasy story there is a heavy emphasis of comedy along with it. Gladly this comedy gives the story an edge of lightheartedness that is rarely seen in such stories. I could not stop laughing every time the main character was mistaken for a girl and the bodyguard and his state of mind of hitting everything makes this stories enjoyable. Though it may be the inner teenage boy that is inside me, but I kinda wished that the main character and his love interests had more plot in the story. The ending of the story was disappointing, but then again this hives a good lead of to the sequel.
This book was selected because I kept seeing it in my 'recommended' list and I thought i'd give it a try. It isn't a bad story, but it's not as in depth or detailed as I would've preferred. The story line was just fine, and i do appreciate the mix of characters and setting. I'm not sure i saw much character development though, but the dialogue was ok. Again, nothing too indepth or detailed. I would read the 2nd book to see where the story leads. Perhaps this is more appropriate for younger readers (pre-teens).
I almost didn't get past the first chapter. I found it a little choppy and ridden amateurishly. I'm totally guessing here, but I wonder if it was the first chapter the author ever wrote because the rest of the book got better and better both in terms of the story and in the quality of the writing. I'm very glad I read the entire book and I am very much looking forward to the next book in a series. I really want to encourage the author to continue writing because I think he has a real gift for it. The only thing I want to add is that I appreciate that the protagonist has a lot of confidence in himself. It's a very common genre, of wizard apprentices going off and having their first adventures, for the young man to be filled with self-doubt. But this particular character has a lot of confidence and seems mature beyond his years. Really enjoyed it.
