The Sea of Storms




Chubby Cheeks is back again with another wonderful book for you all and this would be the first time a science fiction is featured in our blog. The Sea of Storms by Mark Whiteway is the first book of the Lodestone Series which has four books in total. It is truly a masterpiece and I find myself very lucky to come across it.

The story is set in an imaginary world of Kelannis who live in a world under three suns which are, Ail-Mazzoth, Ail-Gan the yellow sun and Ail-Kar the white sun. The Kelannis are controlled by a Prophet and his army called as Keltars who possess the power of flying. Neither the Prophet nor the Keltars are any good to the common kelannis, they torture the poor souls misusing the powers. Lyall, who has understood the source of power which Keltars possess rebels and tries to put a stop for all the brutality against his fellow mates. Shann, who accidently comes across Lyall volunteers to help him in his cause. But Shann is followed by the Keltars, young and talented Keris is specially appointed to do the task. Will she be able to catch Shann and prove her loyalty to the furtherance of the Prophet’s cause? The rest of the mysteries are for you to unveil by indulging yourself in the book.

The book is a natural page turnover. You won’t feel like putting down the book until the very end. The thing I loved the most about the book is the narration and the writing style. The author excels in taking the maximum benefit of a rich vocabulary, using the right words at the right place. The story is developed and described so perfectly. The language is picturesque and the flow of the story is so smooth and well organized. Each new character or fact is introduced in an ever so talented way by giving enough time for the readers to absorb the things and get adjusted with the new world created upon their eyes. Although a whole new world, the book won’t overload your mind with a bunch of characters and happenings. The theme is simple, which is about fighting against the evil, but the story is unique in its own way with a remarkable and a mind blowing plot. Being the first book of the series, it really is intriguing and promises an amazing set of stories ahead.

The author has the ability to drag us along a finely created fantasy, and I assure you that it’s a journey worth taking and truly entertaining. I give the book five stars and recommend it to all the fiction lovers out there. If you are in search of an amazing read, try this out! It’s a book which will make you fall in love with and make you eagerly wait to get your hands on the next in the series.

Ending the note with a line taken from the book.
“The key to defeating a tyrant–any tyrant–is to understand the source of their power. Once you do that, you can manipulate it; even use their own power against them.”
