A review by jinxei
The Octunnumi Fosbit Files Prologue by Trevor Alan Foris
4.0
UPDATE #1:
Definitely a 4-4.25 at the least.
Let's be honest, this book deserves more than one read through. After I had time to think on it, do not go into this as if it is a standalone novel. This is a prologue, an introduction to a world unlike ours and succeeds in the tremendous amount of world building that is needed to set up the future novels. Meeting all the different characters, seeing how the different Innesomids (worlds/planes) are, and the history of the Octunnumi is done incredibly. I hope the two main characters stay throughout the series as the banter between them is wonderful.
Original:
Tentative 3.5, will need to do a proper review after a second read-through.
The book and the contents of the packaging that came with it are gorgeous. The added dictionary is not only beautiful and well done, but necessary as the book itself seems as if it were written by someone not from our planet.
However, I found the plot a bit confusing and hard to follow and needed to reference that dictionary often (my memory is not good enough to just remember those things), so I think it might benefit from another read-through at a later date.
