Thorsten Brandl

When I read the premise for this book, I wanted to read it. So glad that I did. It is so worth the read. It is not like just reading this book but a whole experience. It felt like there was a full-length movie playing in my head while I was reading this book.

Michael is lucky that something happened to him. To be honest, he was ordinary otherwise and would have been unmemorable but when he found himself thrust into a world of demons and hunters, he was the hero that we all needed.

I loved the incorporation of the Greek mythology to this story. Warning as once you start reading, you will be hooked. I look forward to reading more books by this author.… (altro)

Just finished this book. It has taken me a few days to process it in order to write a review. First off…I enjoyed the Author’s other novel, The Palladium very much. With that being said it is hard to make up my mind on this one. I know how important reviews and honesty are with writers, especially new and young ones. The Warrior With Broken Wings is a strong story. The plot seems to hold up and the characters are well done. The pacing is tight and there is little or no filler. On the down side…to quote Stephen King. “The Road to Hell is Paved with Adverbs.” This hit me early on in the story. However there are sections of the story where it is strong enough to forget that every paragraph is loaded with unneeded adverbs and adjectives. In my mind I only partially put this on the author, as I recall his second book does not suffer from this. Another hit for me was the constant mention of “tears flowing down ….eyes”
Mr. Brandl has an incredible talent and is an above average story teller. The Plot of The Warrior With Broken Wings is solid. A simple man with a destiny to not only fight evil but convince others that doing so is a noble choice.
I LOVE some of the references in the book. Subtle shout outs to Army of Darkness, Manowar and…. Mr. Brandl you had me at IRON MAIDEN.
The Warrior With Broken Wings is a good story. Would I count Brandl a regular in my library? Without a doubt. Writers grow, they form and age with each page they write. I look forward to anything he releases in the future.… (altro)
