The Heart of Arcrea The Arcrean Conquest Book One Nicole Sager 9781479361885 Books

There's a lot of truth in these pages.

The book is marked as fantasy because it takes place in a fictional medieval setting, and some bizarre creatures (like dragons) and man-eating plants appear... (for which I am so thankful these things don't exist in the real world!)

So, for lovers of medieval-fantasy fiction, you'll love this book! I'm not generally attracted to these kind of books, but wanted to give this one a go because I expected a faith-based message from other people's reviews -- and that's exactly what I got. My favorite parts of the book are fairly close to the end as everything seems to be coming undone, and yet all the strings are tying up to finish the story. There's a few good twists thrown in.

As for self-published books go, this one is amazing. I barely found any errors in the grammar or text (like, one or two), and the plot was well-constructed. The message of the book shines through and is what makes The Heart of Arcrea stand out from others; the author really had something to say, and she told the story well.

Christian readers will like the series, as the text is clean of any foul language, and instead shares quality morals and a little bit of the Gospel. (Even non-Christians would enjoy it for the clean read.) My age recommendation is 13 and up.

The Heart of Arcrea The Arcrean Conquest Book One Nicole Sager 9781479361885 Books Reviews

This was a great read! No magic but clearly a fantasy because of some fictional names, creatures and plants. I loved the strong Christian message! Not often you get that in a fantasy. What it really reminded me of was the Burns Family Studios movie "Pendragon," which I LOVE B-) A boy's father being taken from him, a passionate quest, a strong moral character, an important sword, a girl archer, a sword dance, spies, a princess who changes sides, a gentle giant, a betrayal, a marriage at the end... And because they were 9 companions (for most of the book) it was like the Fellowship of the Ring, which is also cool ;-)

The characters are amazing... Druet is really someone you can sympathize with and Nathaniel is the perfect "mate" for him. Renny...girls archers for the win!! And Talon and Bracy are hilarious--I was reminded of Legolas and Gimli ;-) The medieval setting is well done. The fights are really well written. The mystery is well carried out...I was still guessing through most of the book. And I thought the spy has amazing potential in the rest of the series...I guess I'll find out in the next books ;-)

Thanks to Nicole for writing a great story (looking forward to the next ones)! -D

Some self-published books leave you wanting to toss the book in the trash and write a horrible review, no matter how well intentioned the book was. Some of them leave you apathetic. Some make you wonder why a publisher hasn't picked it up. A few leave you amazed and thankful that the author stepped out in faith and published. The Heart of Arcrea was one of those few.
From the moment I opened this book I didn't want to put it down. Not only was it well written and the story engaging, but the characters were well developed and I found myself loving them. Druet's ever growing band of followers offered many moments of laughter, as well as some very profound ones.

One of the things I most loved about this story is that I could tell it came from Nicole's heart. I have read many books that are well written and developed, but there are few that I have read that I feel like I connect to the author's heart. This story made that connection.

The pictures that she painted with her words (as well as her illustrations) helped me to see this story unfold. If fact, at one point I really felt like I had been watching a movie she painted such a vivid picture. She has talent I wish I had.
I can't say enough about this story. There is no magic. The only reason to classify it as a fantasy is that it takes place in a fictional country, and there are some fantastical creatures and dangerous plants. Some very young children may find parts of it a little scary, but it is perfect for a family to read aloud.

I highly recommend this for the non-magical fantasy lover, seeking a faith-building story of friendship, mystery, and adventure.
