I first thought this book sounded a bit outside the genres I typically read, but I was pleasantly surprised. This one sentence description was enough to tempt me.
“Written like a historical, set like a scifi, and filled with romance, The Land Uncharted weaves adventure and love in this suspenseful story of a hidden land.”
How could I resist that? I picked it up and from then on I could hardly put it down.
It’s set in an unusual place, but the Land quickly became a very real and almost tangible setting to me. And as a reader, I love it when a book brings to life the setting as much as it does the characters. I was instantly drawn into this intriguing world and all the players within.
The adventurous plot was well-paced and held my attention with every page. It made for a very entertaining and easy-to-read book. The romance seemed natural and the secrets plausible. I only wish the ending had told a bit more. I wasn’t quite ready for it to end. Guess that’s what the next two books are for, huh? 😉 I’m looking forward to them.
The Land Uncharted is a unique and refreshing story. And I hope you all will pick up this compelling book for yourselves and enjoy it as much as I did.
Thank you to Keely Brooke Keith for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
