Praise for Red Death

- "[A] fantasy adventure that weaves together powerful themes like death and faith, love and devotion, and, of course, betrayal." ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, 5 STARS

Seventeen-year-old Aaliss graduated at the top of her class and now protects Eden as a highly trained Guardian. When her rather odd younger brother, Wilky, discovers a cure, it comes at a high cost, as the High Priest falsely brands them as traitors, and Aaliss must do what she never expected—run.
Forced to flee the only home they’ve ever known, they plunge into the land of the Soulless. Captured in the wild new world, Aaliss strikes a deal with the surprisingly charming Prince Eamon—the cure, in exchange for her freedom. Together they search for the ingredients to the cure in a desperate race against time to save the Prince’s brother’s life.
Aaliss is eager to return home and seek revenge against the High Priest, but when her feelings for Prince Eamon tug her deeper into the world of the Soulless, she questions everything she once believed. Are the Soulless so bad? Will she and Wilky fall victim to the Red Death? Or... might Aaliss finally discover, against all odds, what her heart has yearned for all along?

Red Death An Epic Fantasy Adventure eBook Jeff Altabef Lane Diamond
I don't think I can finish. I made it to 62%.No character feels developed; the scope of the story has become broad and shallow. Right when I start to get invested, I'm forced into another narrative POV that I don't care about, like a less-experienced, YA George RR Martin.
This universe comes with a lot of Deus-ex-machinas, feeling convenient and arbitrary; not to mention unrealistic (who keeps their city littered with invisible, lethal traps? During peacetime?? When literally most of the working population is under 12? And how did I go half a book without hearing about these traps from anyone else?).
The style is two-dimensional with obvious bad guys ("Everyone not like us isn't human and needs to be killed; it's God's will.") and Mary-Sue good guys.
The religious community refers to Jacob too much--their long-dead prophet. One character actually exclaimed, "What in Jacob's world! Jacob's braid, I thought a shadow had come to life." I'm over it.
The H/h don't meet until about 40%, and the physical descriptions are *gaggy*--lots of smoldering sapphire eyes that flicker in (enter any light source).
What bothers me the most, though, was that I got a sense of urgency about a character nearing death and needing a cure, but the H/h are taking their sweet time getting it, clearly to develop a romance. They keep stopping to make camp and chat around the fire.
The bare bones of an epic adventure plot are there, but everything else about it fell flat for me. The character reference guide wasn't enough.
Except Wilky. Hate the name, but I liked him, and by 62% he's the only character that I kind of want to keep watching to see what he'll do next.

Red Death An Epic Fantasy Adventure eBook Jeff Altabef Lane Diamond Reviews
I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon this book but I'm glad that I did. It is an amazing story and I can't wait to start the next book in this series
I liked how it kept me guessing, the characters never gave up. The background of what really happened, which comes later in the book; is fascinating. Highly recommend this book.
I really enjoyed this book. When I first downloaded the Red Death I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but as I continued to read the story grew on me and I couldn't put it down. I recommend this as a must read.
I really enjoyed the book. See, you can write a really good story without bad language and page after page of sex acts!! Fast moving and a fun read. Will get the next book in the series.
Not because it was a bad story, in fact It was quite good. It was just not my usual read. The character were interesting, the story to me was slow. My daughter devoured it in two days. She loved it. So recommended teen plus
I really couldn't put this down. I found the characters all interesting and loved how the author utilized both seemingly antiquated ideas with more modern ones to create this world. In addition, I appreciated the strong female characters - which is sometimes rare, especially when written by a man. It truly is a fascinating and enjoyable read.
I love fantasy/sci-fi conspiracy books – and this one did not disappoint.
Decimated by a plague, the inhabitants of one small valley are taught that they have been spared the effects of the plague because they “keep the faith”. Everyone else is deemed “soulless” and corrupted by the plague. When the heroine, Aaliss, accidently stumbles across the real reason for the plague, she and her family are branded traitors and flee for their lives – straight into the land of the survivors she has been taught no longer have a soul. She has to reconcile yet more truths with everything she was taught growing up. Not only is she fighting to keep her soul intact, but war looms close on the horizon.
I can not wait to read the next book in the series!
I don't think I can finish. I made it to 62%.
