Actually, I have been reading this for awhile now, I just keep forgetting to add to my TBR.

The first few pages was like how anyone lives in this mundane world of ours(the reason I kept forgetting, writing was good, just plain, no embellishments, but it did not grab me like some), plain and earthy, no excitement, and reading a person who does not have any astounding ability, well it made it more tedious, the fun part came in little bits and pieces, I think this was our author's intention, lull you to everyday chores, a bit of information here and there...........

Then it happened, a page before, I was yawning, the next page............WHAT????!!!!!(let me re-read that), then IT STARTS............

Reading this then trying to imagine the actions of the characters, this looks, sounds like those Hong Kong fantasy movies, asian melodrama, fantasy and action all rolled into one, and it works......really works.....imagine Chow Yun Fat, practicing Snake Style, with Chi meditation, then suddenly he shouts “Seh Chu Chi”(Snake coming out!!!!!) and the boulder in front of him explodes!!!!

A devious way of storytelling, some prophetic vibes.........this is one tantalizing start to a series!!!
