Ruins on Stone Hill by F. P. Spirit, I struggled to get into this book, coming back to it multiple times, Sadly just not the book for me. Though I do think others will enjoy it. Thank you for giving me a chance with this book.

Dungeons and Dragons in a book form, jam-packed with mythic creatures, good vs. evil, and one grand questing adventure.

While it make it up in action, the actual plot lacks substance. It's basically just a campaign in word format. A generic fantasy read. There is nothing to make it stand out in the fantasy world genre, and any (good) female representation was sorely missed.

The main characters are varied and colourful, making them distinct from each other. I appreciated the absence of detailed violence and gore that is normally associated with these novels.

Anyone who loves D+D campaigns and medieval/fantasy video games will be attracted to this read and enjoy it. I would recommend this to preteen/early teenage boys. I will pass on the next book, as it didn't have enough to grab me in its fold.

Thankyou to NetGalley and Independently Published for this eARC in exchange for an honest review

What a fun adventure this book is! This would be an ideal starter series for younger (Middle School and above) readers who could be interested in high fantasy series. This is not a full, heavy, high fantasy, but a true adventure filled with friendship, enemies, treasure, magic and mayhem. The humor is fun and the characters bond well together. This is a truly enjoyable series for any age reader, but I truly see how easy it would be to turn the next generation into fantasy readers with this series! I am truly looking forward to the next in the series.

Thanks, Netgalley and Publisher for the opportunity to read!
This was such an enjoyable read. A little light-hearted compared with the heavy dark fantasy books I happened to read recently, but once I started reading, I discovered I needed that. The gang of main characters is unique and awesome and the story feels like watching an animated fantasy series. It's not too bloody or filled with gore and horny scenes. Instead, it focuses on the relationship between the main characters, their tries to master their own abilities in order to protect the innocent. It also contains enough action, adventure, fantasy elements, and mystery in order to keep you reading!

Ruins on Stone Hill by F.P. Spirit is the first book in the heroes of Ravenford Series. It's the indroduction to a fabulous pnr world full of mystery and mystic creatures, elves, gnomes, dragon - you get the picture.
Glolindir is tasked to rescue his world with the help of his new friends and companions.
A great start that makes me want to read more of this series, 4,5 stars.
