The Fantastically Underwhelming Epic of a dead wizard and an average bard. Review by Beatriz Sousa, author of Suspiros da Bea blog. "Kian N. Ardalan created a thrilling fantasy book full of action. I really enjoyed it! You keep connecting with all the characters which is not easy. It is very hard for an author to create empathy between the reader and the characters, but you can expect it in The Fantastically Underwhelming Epic: of a dead wizard and an average bard. I recommend The Fantastically Underwhelming Epic as it is a great book mixed with political issues and mystery for you to think about how sometimes we are pawns and we don’t even know it. Kian did a wonderful job describing the many characters personalities and expressions. I truly enjoyed how his characters were real and are important to the literary community. George is definitely my favourite character ever; he is terribly funny and what is great in this story is that he isn’t some magical hero, he is quite clumsy actually. Also, I have an old theory that when a book has a map as awesome as this one, it means it will be a great novel. I also enjoyed how this book is fast-paced, but at the same time it is not rushed as some novels tend to be. Kian has also used the perfect amount of dialogue, so that we wouldn’t be bored with too many descriptive scenes, but at the same time we wouldn’t get too much information when the characters are interacting.To me this book is a must for this fall. You can expect a roller coaster of emotions. Believe me when I tell you that it is addictive. You can expect so many great moments that I had to take a break from reading."
