This is a great action packed fantasy.
The characters are well developed and the way they interact makes for a highly enjoyable read.

It was a very interesting read, with good characters in great storyline. The plot is absolutely original, which is quite rare nowadays, unfortunately, so that's a good point. I really liked the character developments, too. All in all, I liked it! Thanks for the copy!

The premise for this book sounded so promising, but I was disappointed and DNF. If the writing was reworked a bit so the reader is shown and not told what is happening, it could be great, but as it stands it was too slow for our magazine's demographic.
Personally, if I had time I would go back and try again for my own reading tastes, as I've heard it speeds up and is better further on in the book.

This book was quite interesting to say the least. Though at some points I was lost since the story took a different turn. It was very interesting and I liked the character development.

This was a very entertaining story. This fantasy story was so good it held my attention from beginning to end. I loved the adventure, the characters and the world that Shane and Darryl created. Although some parts were a bit confusing, what I liked most is that the authors give you enough of information that help bring the scene into your imagination. This story is very unique and I feel this story has it all good characters, good plot, and action.

Across the Fourwinds is a very entertaining book that held my interest throughout. Whilst i would argue that it leans more toward a thriller, which is not usually my cup of tea, i think it was a cracking read.
There are some really interesting themes in the story that i feel the author explored well and i found the action sequences to be very engaging.

I did find there to be a tiny bit of pacing issues during the "real world" to "Fantasy world" transition but ultimately i really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all of my friends.

Across the Fourwinds sets itself up nicely for a sequel and i can't wait to see what the characters get up to next time.

I really enjoyed this book, at first it was a slow start and honestly I was confused if I was reading a fantasy novel or a mystery thriller. As the story continued though I was not disappointed, this has all the elements of a great fantasy, the chosen hero, magic, the great evil, elves, gnomes, dragons, and of course giants and orcs. It felt very close to ready a Terry Brooks book, a mix between Running with the Demon and the Sword of Shannara all mixed together. I would highly recommend this to anyone that wants a good mixed fantasy.

Total cliffhanger of an ending! I loved this story. It either takes place in the future or past or some parallel world. Will and Morgan end up falling into this other world. In order to get back to theirs, they have to stop the evil queen. This book was action packed, had love, and adventure. I loved the descriptions of the unique creatures and can't wait until the second one!
