Everville: The First Pillar (English Edition) Formato Kindle
Owen Sage is the emblematic college freshman at Easton Falls University. With all the worries about his first year in college, he was not prepared for what would happen next. His way of life was flipped upside down when he mysteriously crossed into another dimension, into the beautiful land of Everville. His excitement was abruptly halted when he discovered that there was a darkness forged against both the natural world, which he knew well, and the new land which he discovered, Everville. He must devise a plan to save both worlds while joining forces with the race of Fron and The Keepers, whom both harbor hidden secrets he must learn in order to gain power over the evil that dwells in The Other In Between.
With a race against time to save both worlds, his short time at Easton Falls did not quite prepare him for the evil, dark forces he must fight in order to conquer The Other In Between.

As for the author's profile, I would not like to use any cliches here, but when I gathered that he lives so many miles away from my own location, I was genuinely surprised. In other words, despite the huge distances, I feel this book so close to my heart, mentality and world of ideas.

Author: Roy Huff
Genre: Epic Fantasy
Ratings:
Readability: I found it a fairly easy read hampered only by slight editing errors.
Hook: After a nice introduction of duality we are left to wonder and want to know more.
Editing: There were minor editing issues interspersed throughout the chapter. Nothing was major or took away from the meaning but it was enough to be noticeable.
Characters: We are introduced to two main characters. The first is the main character. To this point, and I went back through real quick to be sure, he has no name. He is referred to as either "I" or "you" in the first chapter. I myself will often hide a person's name from the reader until such time that it has been revealed by someone saying their name. So this did not detract. "I" is confused through the entire chapter and does not have much character development.
The second person we are introduced to is simply The Keeper. He appears to be some kind of wizard or technologist. There is a little bit of development with him in you get his level of intelligence and no nonsense attitude. He got right down to business.
Understandable: In a very short time the book travelled between two different worlds and at points appeared to have some intermesh between them. Through this through it was written well enough that I was able to understand and follow what was going on.
Visuals: Visuals were very good in this chapter and helped you to keep track of where you were.
Relatable: I related with the situation of the main character in school and found myself wanting to know more about him after the chapter was done. The level of reliability may have been enhanced by the fact that the main character does not have a name yet. It is easy to slip into the character's shoes because there has not been that demarcation that he is in fact not the reader.
Fun: It was a fun read of discovery and confusion.
Overall: From step one through to the end of the chapter there is something happening to the character and it flows through and comes out well leaving me wanting more. I found myself wearing the shoes of the main character and experiencing his tribulations. Except for some minor editing issues, it was a good read and I plan to read the rest of the book based on my experience.
Synopsis: A kid is sick and goes to the nurse's office. As he arrives he passes out but instead of the darkness of unconsciousness he finds himself transported into an entirely different world. Before he can get his bearings he is whisked back to his original reality without a clue as to if what he just experienced was real or not.
Favorite line: We are somewhere between here and there, sometime between yesterday and another day.

Owen Sage knows he's different, for when he falls asleep he is transported to Everville a wondrous land under threat from evil creatures Them. He comes under the guidance of the Keeper, leader of the friendly race Fron and so begins Owen's fantastic journey from meek teenager to mighty warrior and saviour of Everville. There is so much going for this book - the reader is dragged straight into the action with no fuss or tedious back story - the characters are so likeable we immediately root for them - the story is full of immense action scenes and unusual surprises, even back on Earth we gasp at Roy Huff's brilliant twists and continuation of the plot.
This is a superb kickstarter to a great series. Bring it on Roy Huff.
This is a FIVE STAR fantasy novel begging not only to be read but snapped up by Hollywood.

筆者のストーリーの想像力と世界観に圧倒され巻き込まれ、主人公のオーエン・セイジの世界に思わず浸ってしまいました。だらだらとストーリーを説明せず、歯切れが良く早い展開で読者を惹きつけ、飽きさせません。
私は4つの星を付けましたが、これは登場人物の性格描写がさらに生き生きと輝くのを続編に期待しての評価です。シリーズ化されるとの事でとても楽しみです。筆者の初本みたいですが、彼の才能とこれからの活躍が楽しみだと思いました。読むべき本です!!

The story is about a freshman college student, Owen, who is transported to another realm. There he discovers that there is more to the universe than meets the eye and that an evil force wishes to destroy not only his home, Earth, but also every other realm in between. Owen must discover why he has been chosen to have this knowledge and what his purpose in the imminent battle is.
I am in two minds about this book. I am going to go ahead and assume that the age group this is aimed at is for the younger end of the spectrum of the young adult genre. I say this because i found it quite simplistic, not in a bad way necessarily, just in a way that young teenagers would find it easy to follow and understand, whether someone a bit older might find it, well, overly simple. It is unlike some young adult fiction that can appeal to a wide range of ages.
The action started almost straight away, which drew me in. The pace then steadied a bit before slowly building until about the last quarter where it became quite fast paced.
I struggled to connect with the main character, not because I didn’t like him or because I couldn’t relate to him but because I felt that even at the end of the book i didn’t really know him any better. I think there could have been a lot more character development.
The text was quite descriptive, which I found to be really good in some parts and a little tedious in others.
To be honest I did have some issues with the book. I found it extremely unrealistic that the main character was drawn into another reality and didn’t seem to question anything or have any kind of emotion about what was happening to him apart from a vague kind of curiosity. Also I found a few things to be a bit unimaginative. For example, a lot of the names e.g “Them” (the evil side). And the Learner box. That was a bit of a cop out.
Overall it wasn’t a terrible read, though I definitely preferred the second half to the first half. I would probably recommend it to younger teenagers. As I mentioned this book is the first in the Everville series, I’m not sure whether I will continue the series or not – we shall see.
