My Review
Ancient Canada by
Clinton Festa is a fantasy, paranormal, historical, drama, blended perfectly to
create a new intriguing world.The author has a
unique writing style. Like Stephen King, the story is told from several
different points of views, in the end merging together to complete the story. Each
chapter you get to meet a new character, be it person or creature, and hear
their back story as we journey through the book.
This was a very
enjoyable read because the story was well thought out, giving great
descriptions and details. The one thing that caught my attention and I liked
was each characters eyes, a nifty way of identifying who they were.
Traveling
the world, Lavender and Marigold are sisters
with special abilities who create a book, The
Aliments of Life and Death, listing different things from cures to information
on poisonous materials, basically creating a survival guide for the world. Along the way the sisters fight to right the wrongs of the
world while discovering new places, people, ancient relics and so many other
things throughout the pages.
If you enjoy immersing yourself in a world of adventure and
something new, I highly recommend picking up Ancient Canada. I don’t think you
will be disappointed, I wasn’t.

Excerpt
It had
happened. Simon had seen his second child.
Quietly and
peacefully, she opened her eyes, quite soon after birth. Perhaps the brilliance
of the sky overhead opened her eyes itself, and if so, it was our first
indication that she had the ability of sight.
“I’ve never
seen that color before,” said the medic.
“Nor I,”
said Simon. “They are clear, not even murky, as Marigold’s when she was first
born.”
“Are those
truly purple eyes, or is that just an effect of the Lights?”
“No, they
are genuinely purple. Or maybe a sort of violet.”
“Or maybe
Lavender,” spoke Simon. Once I told him what the peddler had said earlier,
about the lavender I traded from him, we agreed on her name. I did not expect
the color to be her permanent shade, but to this day they are identical to when
she first opened them.
