Product Description

Review
The Storms of Acias tells the story of troubled teenager Graciou, and his journey to find the father he was separated from by The Storm as a boy. Along the way he does battle with a number of mysterious, ghostly figures, who play mind games to try and divert him from his path. --Mr. R. Swancott

The publishing world is so hard to get into these days, self publishing is the only way to go. It's a great story and people will love it. --G.P Taylor, Author Shadowmancer

I think Dominic's book is really good. I am really enjoying it and I can't wait to carry on reading it till the end, to see what happens. My favourite part is the very beginning, "Graciou's eyes flicked across the dark, brown horizon out side the classroom window. The sky was billowing outward toward him and his school, slowly darkening into a brown mass. Every few seconds, his teacher's words would break through, bringing him back to the topic of the class." This really grabbed my attention and I like the way he has used the adjectives to describe the setting. I like to write my own stories in the same way. --Gemma Hope, Yr 5 pupil --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Jill Holt, English Teacher, Cheshire
I throughly enjoyed the book and had to read it three times because I felt there was so much in it. I can't wait to read the sequel. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, 8 April 2008
By Mr. A. Mayer "Allan Mayer" (Chorley Lancs. England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Storms of Acias (Paperback)
Fascinating read- I can't understand why 'The Storms of Acias' is not rated up there with the best of them. Intriguing, imaginative, well worth looking at and engaging with.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, for a first attempt, 16 Mar 2007
By Mr. R. Swancott - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Storms of Acias tells the story of troubled teenager Graciou, and his journey to find the father he was separated from by The Storm as a boy. Along the way he does battle with a number of mysterious, ghostly figures, who play mind games to try and divert him from his path.

It's an engaging read, with plenty of action to keep the reader entertained. However, it was sometimes confusing, and probably too open-ended as the author attempts to set the scene for the next book in the series.

The author's obvious uncertainty on the direction of the narrative and the characters made it difficult to identify with the main players. It's something he will need to address in the sequel.
