Something Eternal Joel T McGrath Books

So basically, there are two hidden, warring groups of immortals around us all the time, influencing our decisions on a daily basis. Then there’s an ancient evil bent of the immortal’s destruction and threatening human extinction in the process. There’s a spoiled, rotten brat, a confused, doubting hero, an insane intellectual, and the cast continues as it rivals a Dickens' novel by the end, but they all fit in seamlessly. My suggestion to readers is read the glossary in the back and then read the book again. Trust me, you’ll enjoy it even more. I hope this author hurries and writes a sequel, because by the time I got to the end, I wanted more. On a side note, it’s refreshing to see a book that balances characters and story, the likes of which I haven’t seen since my beloved Harry Potter.

Something Eternal Joel T McGrath Books Reviews

A war is brewing, one that will decide the fate of two realms even if both aren't aware that it's even happening.

Immortal knights are fighting to protect the human world as we know it from the Shroud, but an evil approaches which proves to be more powerful than expected. To make matters worse, Dwellers— monstrous creatures thriving and multiplying in the catacombs of Paris—threaten to unveil the existence of the immortal realm to humans. Add an immortal love which is caught up between the two sides, and the battle grows into one of epic measures. . .where no one can guess the outcome.

The moment I read the blurb, I wanted to get my hands on this one. As I sunk in, it wasn't exactly what I expected. . .and that isn't a negative thing. There are epic sword fights with powerful magic and weapons appearing out of thin air, there's the arrogance of immortals, romance which is torn and the terrifying threat of unknown monsters who suck the life out of people. So, all well in the fantasy end. But this doesn't read like a 'regular' fantasy tale.

The story is broken down into, at first, seemingly completely separate plots, which masterfully merge together. The first chapters start out with a dream, an immortal in an epic battle. The action hits full force, and immediately draws the character into an important moment. It took a bit to sink into these first pages, simply because the background came in bits and pieces among the action. The dream and reality merged, making it hard to know when one ended and the other began. But it pulls in hard and doesn't let go.

Unlike many books which switch points of view every chapter or so, this tale usually remains in one setting for awhile, letting it develop, before switching to one of the other situations. By doing this, each section had time to dig into a rich world of characters and setting, and let the portion of the tale really sink in. When the change came, it wasn't confusing but flowed well. For me, the moments could have switched more often, simply because I'd get so invested in one section, that when the change came, it took a moment to reel my head into the other characters. But this also means that I was thoroughly caught up in each moment.

The author does a great job at giving each character a very different personality, and each section a feeling of its own tale. It was interesting to see how all of it wove together and became one complete plot toward the end. This isn't set up like a traditional tale, and this makes the entire story refreshing and unique. While I enjoyed the world building (which is very vivid and original), I found it hard to connect with some of the characters. Especially Emma didn't win bonus points from me. At times, I found it hard to gain footing as the new sections filtered in. Still, the writing is engaging and I found myself stuck to the pages.

This is a great read for fans of immortal battles, a little romance, monstrous twists and those who are ready for a slightly different weave in tales.

I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed reading it enough to want to leave my thoughts.
I love the glossary at the end. Not only was it helpful but smart. At first, I thought this would have been better in the beginning to
"set the stage" but after thinking of how many people tend to skip the introductions in the beginning of a book and by doing the glossary at the end you are more likely to be invested in the characters to want to read more (good job to the author).
I could easily see how this would be a good action/science fiction movie with great special effects.
