I received a signed copy with collectors material (all the way from Canada). Firstly I am so honoured that Christian chose me to review his book and when I received the parcel I was like a kid on Christmas Morning.
Synopsis
Magic and destiny collide in Christian A. Brown's breathtaking debut novel, Feast of Fates.
Together known as the Sisters Three, Eean, the hand of fate, Elemech, the reader of fate, and Ealasyd, the spinner of fate, foresee a war between the Immortal Kings--and only one girl who can stop it.
Morigan lives a quiet life as the handmaiden to a fatherly old sorcerer named Thackery. But when she crosses paths with Caenith, a not wholly mortal man, her world changes forever. Their meeting sparks long buried magical powers deep within Morigan. As she attempts to understand her newfound abilities, unbidden visions begin to plague her--visions that show a devastating madness descending on one of the Immortal Kings who rules the land.
With Morigan growing more powerful each day, the leaders of the realm soon realize that this young woman could hold the key to their destruction. Suddenly, Morigan finds herself beset by enemies, and she must master her mysterious gifts if she is to survive.

My Review
From the get go this book gave me "Lord of the Rings" fibe and those of you who have read
both books will understand - its one of those classic Fantasy books packed with Kings and Queens, unsung Heroes and quests, battles and good overcoming evil.
This is Feast of Fates
I have to be honest that in the beginning I struggled to read the book but when the bug caught me I just could not put it down yearning to know what will happen next.
This is Christian first novel and I applaud him
This book is well written and while I was reading this book it felt like I was there.
The characters are well planned and you feel like you know them your whole life. The story is driven by our main Characters Morigon and Wolf and I will not give anymore info on this matter since I don't want to give any spoilers #loveinterest.
I will however warn the reader that YES there will be plot twist where your mouth will be hanging open you are wondering what the hell just happened.
I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5 stars
and would recommend it to anyone who loved LOR and fantasy books.
about the Author
Christian A. Brown has written creatively since the age of six. After spending most of his career in the health and fitness industry, Brown quit his job to care for his mother when she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2010.
Having dabbled with the novel that would eventually become Feast of Fates for over a decade, Brown was finally able to finish the project. His mother, who was able to read a beginning version of the novel before she passed away, has since imbued the story with deeper sentiments of loss, love, and meaning. He is proud to now share the finished product with the world.”
That’s the official biography, provided by the marketing geniuses with whom I have worked. The unofficial story, which is not entirely told, involves numerous editors, four, full drafts before even making a manuscript I deemed ready for copy-editing, and a couple of years of 8-10 hour days at the computer. Writing is a career, which I have dedicated myself to as devoutly as a man of cloth and his God. Writing has been my passion, my salvation and purpose for the last three years. I wake at the crack of dawn, tend to my body (exercise is important for mental health) and then get right down to it. Routine, discipline, and a sanctuary in which to pen/type your craft are what I believe to be the qualities of a prolific writer (I’ll leave it up to you folk to decide on the quality, I’m merely discussing the output).
So that's a bit about me. If you want a real peek into my noggin and the world that clutters it up, head on over to my official website. Wonders await you there! Fearsome things too! I do hope that you enjoy your adventures in Geadhain, and I look forward to being your guide on this spectacular journey.
All my love,
