Book Review - The Venerate Order by Troy Dukart + Giveaway

Photo Credit - Amazon

Things are finally getting better for a college graduate, Strafe Rocknus.  He is surrounded by caring friends, a thoughtful girlfriend, and he is the team leader in a state-sponsored project. While testing out his catapult, he is launched into a mysterious cave. He discovers an ancient and highly valuable artifact. When the artifact lands in the wrong hands, it triggers a war that spans two worlds. Will Strafe be able to stop the war?

The novel reminded me of Square-Enix's Final Fantasy video games series. I could literally imagine the characters going through each obstacle and the fight scenes. However, if I didn't think about the book in that way, some of the details and conversations felt unauthentic. While the novel was fast paced, I would have enjoyed a bit more character and plot development. Overall, a fun read especially for RPG fans.

**Disclosure - I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion**
