Book Reviews of The Fall Of Ossard (The Ossard Trilogy)
Book Review: A new "old" talent
Summary: 5 Stars
A fantasy novel defines, not just a new world and the characters therein, it invokes a new universe. A first offering therefore needs to maintain a careful dynamic so as to tell a story, while also offering the necessary familiarisation of all its forms, from geographic to the arcane.
Colin Taber's The Fall of Ossard does this extremely well. His universe is a finely wrought, complex creation. Careful layering of detail bespeaks of more, much more, to come. Here is a creation with real depth and breadth - a saga in its first stanza.
The powerful first person linear narrative is used to drive the reader's focus compellingly. The storyline holds the attention and constantly piques the imagination, raising expectation and enthusiasm for ever more.
Light and Dark is vividly portrayed, none better than the chief female protagonist, Juvela - at once Ossard's Rose, Lady of Hope, and also a tempted - and tainted - Soul Eater, but a soul eater with a conscience.
The death of Ossard requires a careful rendering of the pace of action. With a brewing tempo that ultimately erupts in scenes of apocalyptic loss Taber interweaves skilful characterisation to unify the facets of his story in an apparently seamless stream.
His first novel? This text has hallmarks of careful thought and real skill. Not a first naïve effort, this has signs of a depth of talent that will reveal more as we eagerly await and read the next chapter.
