Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This story has a lot of Egyptian influence, which I think is wonderful. It has some good elements that I think young readers would enjoy. The story itself is good.
However, there were plenty of words that were used incorrectly. I found it to be distracting. After the first 100 pages you could see the writing mature, but the misuse of words still persisted. If the author corrects this, she will have a very good story.
The cover art is extrordinary. It is a very attractive book and I loved the font choice. It is written in a papyrus font, which keeps it in line with the Egyptian influence. Some readers may find the font difficult to read, but it really does add to the look and feel of the book. There is a glossary of terms in the front along with a table of contents, to help the reader navigate more easily through unusual terms.
All in all, not a bad first outing for this Author. She definitely has potential.

From the scrolls of ancient Egypt a fable unfolds... Being born first but in secrecy, Nandi's legacy--the Secret of Serenity--has been falsely claimed by an evil half brother she never knew she had... in a bizarre twist of fate, either can unleash it but only one may possess it. In Kemet, many do not believe in Mer Wer, a mystical land hidden in a rainforest of Africa, but it is about to surface quite literally. The urgent 'Calling of Charge' gongs and Mer Wer comes to collect one of its own--the non-believing thirteen-year old named Nandi.She is about to be initiated into an ancient and mystical society to prepare for in the coming fourteen days--just a fortnight--three realities bestowed by her coin (an aged coin that once belonged to her deceased mother) will be confirmed; the Runes are unprecedented, a resurrection from the Nile is possible, and her birth is the 'Promised Legacy' of Egypt. So to Mer Wer she shall go for she is the only one who can renew it honorably.NANDI AND THE RENEWAL OF SERENITY (trilogy) is an epic "sword and sorcery" quest taken by a peasant, two valiant friends, three apprentices and their seer, three heartless villains; a most unexpected ending and lots of mystical touches. Like The Hobbit it includes historical particulars, depicting the period's cultural respect for spirituality and echoes the themes of companionship and resilience of the human spirit when faced with adversity. Also celestial possibilities happen. Unlike so many young-adult fantasy books today that rely on sexual or violent innuendo, this novel offers a more suitable reading experience while bringing hair-raising adventure to the fore.
