Lotus Online and Lotus: Courtship of the Seven Seeds Chapter 1-5 Review

I don't know if you've guys heard about this site called Lotus Online but if you haven't you should seriously check it out. It's the website to the Lotus series which is written by Neven Kinnefick. Unfortunately it has not been published..yet. You can thankfully read five chapters online for free from the first book in the series called Courtship of the Seven Seeds. On the website you can also find some images and music (they sound very peaceful and nice) files related to the books under Media. It's really great to see the maps of the worlds in the books. As you read along I'm sure it'd be great to see where events are taking place just like with The Inheritance Series and The Lord of the Rings books.

I've read those chapters and here's what I think :D

Rating: 3.8/5
Age R: 13+ (beware of some violent scenes, at least violent for the kiddies)
Release Date: Unknown
Thoughts:
The Temporal Lotus was the stone that created the world, commanded by those of an ancient race, known as the Alluri. Now, the Stone has gone without trace for nearly two thousand years... But all that is about to change.

Enter the Lotus series, where the end days of the Temporal Lotus's lifetime on the world of Hearth are envisioned through the eyes of Delore Viese, a young tavern worker at the forefront of an incredible journey through far-away lands, mysterious blood affiliations, and violent struggles for political ascension.

I recommend you guys read these first five chapters they are quite entertaining and fun. You'll enjoy reading about Delore, swords, greek mythiological creatures, and much more. I don't know exactly how long the book is going to be but each chapter itself is short and fast which is great considering how it seems like 12 year old or folks around that age will love it more. I really liked reading them and just to be clear, I would have given them a higher rating if I had read the whole book. You can understand how difficult it is to rate part of a book. When the book comes out I'm sure I'd LOVE to read the whole thing and am most likely going to enjoy it. From what I read it seems really good and like a great adventure I'm going to want to take. :) I'm sure I'm not the only one that will feel this way. I suggest you guys check it out. :D

As I began reading these five chapters I immediately noticed how it's just the kind of read fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Inheritance series might like. I assumed that was the case after having read the premise, and thankfully I was right. Of course, this story is quite different in it's own way which makes it stand out from those other reads. First off, this one has humor. If you've read LOTR and/or The Inheritance series you may notice how there's little to no humor there. Well, that would be great to have because if you're like me, you enjoy books/movies with humor. To me humor just makes everything better. Then there's a song in the third chapter that captures the whole LORT feel more. I gotta say I love that. :D I'm sure there's more awesomeness but I can't tell too much just by having read five chapters.


Note:
I really like the cover it makes me think of ...the future. (: Honestly it doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the story itself but it's still neat.
In the fourth chapter the word "okay" is used and it's weird because the story takes place a VERY long time ago before the word was used. It's not really known when it began to be used but still...just saying.
