Author Auckly Simwinga provided an ecopy of The Streets of Nottingham for review.
The Streets of Nottingham reads like a retelling of a mythological story. But since I can't say which one, and no one has told me this is so, I accept it as completely invented by the author. And inventive it is.
A true quest story (the best kind), our hero Adam is off to Nottingham to find a healer who knows he's coming but isn't waiting for him, in the city that doesn't exist. How's that for a quest?
He embarks on his quest with no more knowledge than that to go on. The obstacles he encounters are monumental at times. Obviously he perseveres (otherwise we wouldn't have a book). Being a fantasy reader, the story didn't necessarily surprise me, but I can't say it was predictable either. It was a fun ride.
The Streets of Nottingham is a action filled fantasy quest adventure, a heartwarming love story with mythic underpinnings. Enjoy!
Mike
