Len Dawson's review of Sarah Deckard's Journey




Sarah’s handling of conversation and description is quite solid; her metaphors and similes enjoyable. When her heroine meets her fairy guardian, the story takes on the feel of a fable and I think it works extremely well as a fable - very original and really quite clever. I wanted to see how the story would unfold after their meeting. And Sarah does not disappoint. The way she weaves the story and characters is very impressive. She maintains the feel of a fable right to the end. Her story was a really good, really fun, read.

Lisa Farrell's Review of Journey by Sarah Deckard

 Journey (ebook, available for $3.99)
 
Journey by SarahDeckard is a medieval fairy tale with a modern message. Princess Victoria is betrothed to her true love yet discontented, something she does not realise until her prince rejects her and so compels her to embark on a quest. She thinks she journeys to seek her lover, but she finds herself on a journey of self-discovery. If “every girl's a princess”, then every girl should read this story. This author has something important to teach her heroine, and she makes the lesson a pleasant one for the reader. Journey is a prettily written, magical tale for any woman who's ever questioned a “happily ever after” ending.

This review is by one of our authors, Lisa Farrell. Her books are The Cursed (ebook, available for $3.99) and The Mother (available for free download).
