~SO MUCH MORE THAN A ROMANCE FANTASY~

If you enjoyed Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, you will LOVE this book. There is no swearing or sex in this series. Mature theme. 16+YA/ EPIC/ NEW ADULT/ FANTASY /ROMANCE FANTASY /TIME TRAVEL /DYSTOPIA /ADVENTURE

Author M.E. Lorde creates a gripping story set in the earth’s future, where the youth of the world have the privilege and burden of saving humanity from extinction.
Years before an apocalyptic event, a new means of travel is discovered. The modern technology comes just in the nick of time. Though none can return to a past-time in order to fix what men have destroyed, some candidates can now move forward to begin anew.
Highly intelligent, Tolomay Ramey was trained since birth to do one thing… to lead others into the future of the ‘clean earth’ where both nature and mankind are given a fresh start. Leaving the pod community behind, she arrives as the only living ‘Original’ from the first team of candidates. The clean world, abundant with plant and animal life, is covered in green for the first time in hundreds of years.
Unfortunately for this young girl and despite the beauty of the replenished earth, nothing she experiences from the moment she arrives is as expected. Alone for three years, until others finally join her, she learns to survive off the land, but that will not be what she finds most challenging. What will happen when a strong-headed young man arrives with the mindset that he should have been the first in this paradise? Can independent Tolomay and fiercely confident Kenter meet in the middle? Can the clean world become what it was intended to be for the new community, or will all thoughts of peace be left a thousand years in the past?

Mr. Kibbles

A mixture of time travel, nature and romance that had me gripped from beginning to end.

What an unusual concept and portrayed so well. A mixture of time travel, nature and romance that had me gripped from beginning to end. Tolomay is whisked from an apocalyptic past into a new, healed future which shows just how the earth would flourish with out us humans holding her down. Excellent read.

Teenage romance with a difference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 July 2015

Verified Purchase

A good concept to the plot, written well and in part, quite an adventure. I'm not a lover of romance, and particularly teenage romance, so this story wasn't really for me. I read it throughout though because, that aside, it was a nice little tale.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 March 2014

This is a jarring look at a potential future in which the world has been decimated. 'Tolomay's World and The Pool of Light' by M.E. LORDE is written by a wizard - the descriptions are frightening, the plot complex, the world-building impressive, yet it is all pulled together in a gripping tale. Tolomay is sent forward to a future earth and is stranded for several years. When the others arrive the real difficulties begin.

This is a real page-turner and the start of a cool series. I’ve already ordered the next book. Anyone who likes an intense dystopian fantasy(even a thread of romance) will enjoy this series. Highly recommended 5-stars.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE PLEASE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 September 2013

I was given this book by the author in return for an honest review.

What a story!
I was utterly gripped!
Following Tolomay as she goes through the pool of light to land on Earth in the future an as she struggles to come to terms with the fact that her companions never made it through.
An then comes Leth and Kent an again she struggles only this time with her heart and falling for Kent and then more people arrive that ends up breaking her heart!!!
I seriously can't believe how this book ends I seriously want to read the second book!!!!!

Unique, deeply-felt world pulled me completely in...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 August 2014

This is one of the more original stories I've read in some time, not only in terms of the world-building and the premise, but the tone of the piece, which was really unusual but totally worked to create a really unique feel and voice. Tolomay is a colonizer, of sorts, an explorer / settler sent with a group of other young people (kids, really, at least when they are first sent) to carve a new path for humanity after they've endangered the species' survival via environmental destruction and so on. While the mechanics of how they get to this "clean" world are still pretty mysterious to me, they have a quasi-mystical-mixed-with-physics feel that are really interesting, and again do a lot to impart a lot of the "feel" of the culture that humanity has evolved into.

As others said, this is by no means a short book, but I had trouble putting it down. The characters are unusual and at times do some pretty odd-seeming and even unfeeling things...but they are deeply sympathetic, despite their "alienness" in some ways, and by the end I felt like I actually knew them, which to me is always a sign of really amazing characterization. I'm definitely going to go on to read the next books in the series....this is a very talented writer, in terms of vision and depth of feeling, especially.

Tolomay's World and The Pool of Light

Where to start.........WOW. I literally read this book in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. Tolomay is such a strong character, and with the addition of Lethia & Kenter there is a great balance. The concept is unique, it's well written and has amazing character development and world-building. You learn more and more as the story unfolds and the ending leaves you on such a cliff hanger: this story is definitely only just beginning.

Warning: You will want to jump straight into the next book: Tolomay's World and the Mountain of Tegi.

I received an e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Wonderful new world adventure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 September 2013

The idea of the book, going forward in time to survive and give the children a new possibility to make a world like it was supposed to be from the start, is a really interesting one.

The book is well written, with just enough suspence to keep you reading, and with enough open questions to want to read the next part of the series too.

The main character seems to be a typical young teenage girl, with all the problems of growing up, but with a lot of inner strength that makes you admire her.

When the story continues and more young persons arrive in the future, the interaction between them gets more complicated, and causes problems, as you would expect in normal life too.

Certainly a book I would recommend to others.

ps. I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review, through WaAr. This has not influenced the outcome of this text!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 March 2013

As a reviewer as well as an author, I was lucky enough to be given this book to read - and I loved it.

It is a cautionary tale of sorts (I don't give spoilers), a fantasy mixed with romance and an amazing insight into a 'clean world', where the talent and imagination of the author abounds.

The story is filled with wonderful descriptions and 'fitting' language that intertwines English with a twist...a mix of future and past and a dash of how communication and beliefs could evolve.

The characters are believable, although Kenter may have to 'grow up', but as the story continues, we do see his possibilities. Tolomay is fantastic, and I look forward to finding out how she continues on her 'journey'. Kenter's sister, too, has great potential. The males do seem to be far weaker than the females - so far :)

A fabulous read, although my 'problem' is having to wait for the next installment.

Highly recommended.
