An Enchanting & Inspiring Fantasy Epic For Dragon-Lovers Everywhere!
Overview: Even as Reecah Draakvriend struggles to fit in with society and unravel the dark secret hanging over her head, she must come to a decision whether to slay an infamous dragon or become a victim of her people. So begins a legendary quest worthy of birthing an epic fantasy heroine.
In “Reecah’s Flight”, Author Richard H. Stephens builds on a uniquely inspired and creative plotline that draws readers into an epic fantasy world they’ll never forget. Spanning the life of a precocious young girl who spends her childhood dreaming about becoming a dragon-rider to her adulthood as an individual who is bullied and shunned by her village simply for being different, “Reecah’s Flight” is an epic fantasy that immerses readers into a complex world of witches, wizards, dragon-hunters and, of course, magical creatures.
As a character, Reecah evolves into a strong female lead after being devastated by the loss of her home and family at a young age. Never losing sight of her ambitions and dreams, Reecah overcomes many impossible obstacles, not to mention the bias and brutality of her peers, to attain her goals through sheer persistence and determination. But, she’s put to the test when she’s given the choice of destroying the very beasts she’s come to admire or face the wrath of those who threaten their very existence.
Author Stephens’ enchanting and inspiring fantasy epic is custom written for anyone who enjoys a unique and challenging adventure that just happens to be led by a strong and capable female role model. The story is also bolstered by the fact that dragons are alive and well, and living in Reecah’s world! The author’s intuitive knowledge of these mythical beasts and their habits imbues this tale with a sense of reality and affinity that will completely delight and fascinate his readers.
I highly recommend “Reecah’s Flight” for fantasy and dragon lovers, ages teen through adult. This imaginative, absorbing, and clever tale stands among my all-time favorite reads and I’m greatly looking forward to reading the entire Legends of the Lurker Series.
This is a really good book. It starts off when Reecah is a child then skips though her life until she becomes an adult and she begins to learn who she really is. The author does a great job of building both the main character and world she lives in and the plot is unique and stimulating. Other characters are interesting and well thought out. From early on I had this book pegged as a solid 4 stars, however it keeps getting better and better as you work your way through it. It’s an enjoyable read and keeps you guessing as to what happens next; nothing in it is predictable. I almost missed my train stop on my way to work as it had me so engaged.
I don’t often give 5 star reviews and I have a strict reasons for when I do. I have to be honest, this book doesn’t meet any of my usual criteria (which probably is a bit too strict). However, I can find no justifiable reason to give this novel anything less than 5 stars. It delivers everything you want from a really good book. This is nothing whatsoever I can find fault with. There are no parts where I could say ‘that doesn’t really work well’ or ‘it would have been better if this had happened instead’. The author has done a great job.
There is already a follow-up, which I can’t wait to read.
