  Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale

 Reader Review by Kayla K.

Kayla Krantz

I always love a good underdog story, and this was definitely one of those. After being born with a plain blue horn, Blue is secluded from his tribe. No metal, no magic has been the chant he has heard his entire life. But when things begin to happen, and the Oracle sees Blue as the hero of his tribe, he decides to go on a journey to find out if a unicorn without a metal horn can be the savior his tribe needs.

This is a beautiful YA fantasy that includes all the great elements of an epic quest. I think my favorite part was the fact that the story is about unicorns of all creatures because it’s not something you see very often. The author has created an immersive world in Journey to Osm

The Perilous Gate

Golden Daughters: Part Two

 By Anne Elisabeth Stengl

GOLDEN DAUGHTER - An Epic in Four Parts

When Lady Hariawan insists that her small traveling band take in a wounded stranger rescued from slavers, Sairu knows no good can come from it. Commanded to tend the stranger’s wounds and bring him back from the brink of death, she finds her attentions uncomfortably divided.

The situation grows dire when Lady Hariawan travels into the Realm of Dreams, far beyond Sairu’s protective reach. How can she guard her mistress from the perils of that world which she herself cannot see or touch?

Discovering that the rescued slave is himself a Dream Walker, Sairu sees an opportunity to extend her protective circle around Lady Hariawan. But will Jovann prove a help or a hindrance as he falls ever more deeply under the spell of the beautiful temple lady?

The Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm - Illustrated Book - Reader Review - By Seraphia

The Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm - Illustrated Book  

Reader Review

Seraphia

Journey to Osm is a beautifully written tale of a herd of unicorns waiting on their prophesied savior to be born. He will be the one with the horn and the magic to save them all from the evil who wishes to destroy them all and enslave the world. The author builds such a beautiful world in this story. We meet unicorns, pendragons, two-leggeds (humans) and other strange creatures. This story tells the reader about young Blue who is made to not feel as if he belongs simply because his horn is not metal when he is born. "No metal. No magic." You will feel the sadness that he feels as he seeks to hide from the herd and learn the extent of loss that they have all suffered at the hands of an evil man who seeks more and more power.

The story flows so well and kept me engaged the entire time. I kept turning page after page to learn what was going to happen next. There are moments of where I am annoyed or disappointed with certain characters, but for me, it helps make them even more "real" or at least relatable as believable characters. I love the romance that the author throws into the story. You see it coming when you learn of Blue's stable-mate and how they came to be so close. It's heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time.

There is nothing that I don't like about this story. The author never becomes too focused on one particular part. The story flows well and keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end. I love the twists and surprises that the author throws into the story. It's a wonderful story to read.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you are a fantasy lover this is a book to pick up. If you love stories about unicorns then this is a book to grab. I'm sure that you will enjoy.

  Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale

 Reader Review by Valerie P.

Valerie Padrnos

This was a magical tale. The author was able to transport me to a new realm and I fell in love. There is a great deal of detail in this story that fully let's you imagine this other world vividly in your mind. I often felt like I was watching a movie while I was reading. I also loved the underdog tones throughout the book. Everyone wants to rally behind a hero that nobody believes in and thinks will fail. I often found myself reading late into the night, just to see what would unfold next and how everything was going to play out. In the end I was very satisfied and thrilled to have read the story. I feel the author did a marvelous job with character development and storyline. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Book Reviews for Journey To Osm Novel - By Victoria M

The Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm - Reader Review

Victoria Maposa

Journey to Osm: The Blue Unicorn's Tale by Sybrina Durant is a magical fantasy story that is well written. The plot of the story begins when Miral gives birth to a unicorn with neither metal nor magic. Not only that, the baby unicorn is small and weak. This is after Alumna, the oracle, had received a vision that the baby unicorn would grow to be strong. What then, given his current stature, was he going to do if confronted with the worst Magh army?

I loved how the author built her characters and scenes gradually, pulling me in with each page. Also, the story is quite thrilling. It kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I can definitely see this being turned into a movie. Thank you Sybrina Durant for such a great read!

Split Infinity

Book One: The Apprentice Adept

 By Piers Anthony

On the technological, decadent world of Proton, someone was trying to destroy Stile, serf and master Gamesman. His only escape lay through a mysterious “curtain” revealed by a loving robot.

Beyond the curtain lay Phaze—a world totally ruled by magic. There, his first encounter was with an amulet that turned into a demon determined to choke him to death. And there, he soon learned, his alternate self had already been murdered by sorcery, and he was due to be the next victim.

“Know thyself!” the infallible Oracle told him. But first he must save himself as he shuttled between worlds.

On Proton, his fate depended on winning the great Games.

On Phaze, he could survive only by mastering magic.

And if he used any magic at all, the werewolf and the unicorn who were his only friends were determined to kill him at once!

After tragedy upends her world, Jeannette Mason retreats to the tiny Oregon seaside town of Hope Harbor to create a new life.

Interview with Toby the beagle!

Tell me a little about yourself, Toby.

I’m a one-year-old beagle—barely out of puppy stage—with lots of energy! I don’t remember my first owner very well. He didn’t keep me long. I’m not sure why. I think maybe he got tired of me barking in his ear every morning. But hey, he needed a wake-up call. Now I live in Hope Harbor with Logan and a little girl named Molly. We just moved here.

Tell me about your new home.

Hope Harbor is awesome! Much better than San Francisco. We live near a beach, and I love running on the sand. Next door there’s a cool garden with big plants that are easy to dig up. I brought one home for Logan the other day, but he didn’t seem to appreciate it. Neither did the lady next door.

Is Molly a good playmate?

Not yet. She’s kind of nervous around me, so I don’t jump on her too much or lick her. I think she’s about five, so she’s pretty little for a human. And she’s very sad. I’ve been doing my best to make her laugh, but so far I haven’t succeeded. But I’ll keep trying!

How do you like living with Logan and Molly?

Logan’s an okay guy, even if we don’t always get along. I mean, the trash can was right there the other night. How could I not explore it? But he didn’t like washing the floor—again. He’s real nice to Molly, though, and tries hard to be a good dad…even if he needs a lot of practice. Molly’s sweet, but too quiet. We need to fix that. And we will!

Besides running on the beach, what’s your favorite thing to do?

Bark and dig and play hide-and-seek with Logan. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like any of those things. I don’t think he’s used to having a dog around. But I’m working on him. One of these days I’ll have him trained!

Irene Hannon is the bestselling author of more than fifty novels, including One Perfect Spring, Hope Harbor, Sea Rose Lane, Sandpiper Cove, and Pelican Point, as well as Dangerous Illusions and the Private Justice and Men of Valor suspense series. Her books have been honored with three coveted RITA Awards from Romance Writers of America, and she is a member of that organization’s elite Hall of Fame.
