Light on Shattered Water Life of Riley Book 1 eBook G Howell

NOT SO with this one. This is an epic story of 900 pages. Even though I was extremely interested, this one took me a few days to finish. Not that I'm complaining--I prefer to complain about short books with cliffhanger endings. This was long, detailed, and had a reasonable conclusion, even though the series will be continued.

This was like a Planet of the Apes on steroids. If there was a way to be injured and/or almost killed, this human stranded in a Feline World found it. Or it found him. It was rather exhausting, really. The world building was fantastic. It was detailed and descriptive. The characters were interesting and they had depth. There was even a little romance.

It was, however, plagued with proofreading and editing errors. And his trials and tribulations began to get repetitious. But even so, I wanted to read it straight through. Of course, with a book of this length, I did have to put it down occasionally.

For me, it was an engrossing read.

Light on Shattered Water Life of Riley Book 1 eBook G Howell Reviews

An absolutely delightful book by a wonderful writer in control of his craft. A true alien study of a highly complex race, the Rris, and highly rewarding. Yes, it is uncomfortable in many spots as you join the main character in trying to emotionally understand this unfamiliar intelligent race who inhabit the familiar earth. Every time you think you understand some aspect of Rris culture or behavior, at some point further on in the book, your hair stands up on the back of your neck as you realize you don't understand them at all. Not at all. I have already bought the next book in the series and will start it as soon as I can.
This is a very well rounded tale, one I will remember fondly for a long time. The author builds rich characters and I love character driven plots. The world building is full of vivid detail and it is seeps in to the story naturally. This is a story of a stranger in a strange world. The Rris think and act differently then humans and that provides lots of opportunities for misunderstandings and conflict. A feudal world with access to a modern man's knowlege. Now that creates lots of motivation for the risk taking to get your hands on him or kill him.

This is a story for mature readers. It is rich with emotion, personal trauma, loneliness to love. Mr. Howell thank you for sharing your world with me.
When this book first appeared on the web, several years ago, a gave it a very good web review, with a couple of caveats. I had expected that, when the book was finally published, the author would have at least corrected spelling and construction errors (I really didn't care whether he did anything with my own comments, which would have required considerable rewriting and would not have been worth the time to incorporate). I am, however a little disappointed that he did not spend any time polishing the writing. He wrote several stories during those years - every one promising - but I suspect that he has simply moved on to another phase of his life and this kindle book is just his way of wrapping up that period. The book is still a good, original, and worth-while read if only because of his remarkable descriptive writing and his unique vision of a society based upon intelligent felids.
I won't bother with plot descriptions since others here have done it so well. I do want to add my voice to the praises for this unique story that kept me involved all the way through. I see it is listed as Book 1, which I had not noticed when I purchased the book, or I might not have done so. It appears that there will be a continuation of Michael's story, and I look forward to that. However, this book is fulfilling and ends in a satisfactory manner that doesn't leave you frustrated to find that you can't put your hands on the next installment immediately. I'll definitely purchase the next book when it becomes available, but had there been no other forthcoming I would be satisfied where the author ended this story.

Please don't hesitate to read this book. You will enjoy your time spent in this unusual world.

There were a few typographical errors, but not too many to detract from the overall enjoyment of the book. It is a substantial book, not a light quick read, which is another plus, in my opinion. I have been getting weary with books that end to quickly and leave you hanging, waiting for the next installment to be completed.

Thank-you, Mr. Howell )
