Jun 11, Lauraadriana rated it it was amazing Recommended to Lauraadriana by: There is so much in this book that I have trouble even trying to pin down the elements that made me love it.

I can say this, the writing was solid, the dialogue fantastic, the world building fascinating, and the themes broached were done carefully and so very intelligently Wil and Dallin the main characters are complex and interesti Epic Wil and Dallin the main characters are complex and interesting. They are at a crossroads and their fates are intertwined. Wil is a man looking to fulfill his fate and he’s been walking alone bearing that heavy weight Wil reminded me so much of Odysseus making that long lonely journey with that heavy burden just on him, along the way finding cruelty, kindness and finally someone to walk along with I feel like I need to read the next one to fully be able to put down what I feel about this book This is my first book by Carole Cummings View all 52 comments.

Jun 21, Jenn rated it it was amazing Shelves: I want to sleep with this at night. I want other writers to read this book and take notes.

In this book the fantasy, world-building, and the characterizations come first. The author takes the time AND the care to make sure each of these has multiple, detailed layers that unfold for the reader in the best way possible.

For someone concerned about the complexity “You fight shackles like a wild animal, but you accept a cage like you belong in one. For someone concerned about the complexity of the world-building There is no info dump. The reader slowly discovers parts of this world and mystery so that the action, tension, and your love for these characters increases with each page.

This book has heart down to its corners. I fell in love with Wil and Dallin, and they don’t even really have a romance in this book.

However, I fell in love with them. So many detailed moments that breathed life into them, and you felt all of their emotions naturally. The argument over the apples, footprints, and horses might be the cutest thing ever.

I have so many questions about the mystery of the Aisling, and its been awhile where I’ve had this kind of excitement over a “world. If this isn’t normally your genre, give it a shot anyways. Your mind will rock! View all 20 comments.

This is epic fantasy at its best, the world building is fascinating and the writing flows beautifully.

Guardian (Aisling, #1) by Carole Cummings

It’s one of those books that you really need to take your time mulling over and absorb everything you’re being told and almost try to work out what’s going on yourself. The relationship between the main characters Wil and Dallin builds up slowly, nothing is rushed I just knew that Carole Cummings would not disappoint me after falling in love with her Wolf’s Own series my favourite ever series. The relationship between the main characters Wil and Dallin builds up slowly, nothing is rushed and I’m looking forward to starting Dream.

I would definitely recommend. View all 13 comments.

Nov 28, Christina rated it really liked it Shelves: An excellent read set in a fascinating world where characterization is the focal point. Two men were brought together by fate in a world of magic, murder, politics, and religion. With each chapter, the world slowly unfolds while the characters become more and more complex. The author gives us one puzzle-piece at a time and I was constantly wondering where the next one would fit.

I loved how this kept me on my toes. Wil and Dallin totally captivated me. Wil is a tormented soul who just wants to s An excellent read set in a fascinating world where characterization is the focal point.

Wil is a tormented soul who just wants to stop being afraid. He’s on the run and carrying a heavy burden full of rage and agony.

At times, he exhibits almost child-like qualities but he has strength and pride. I just adore him! Then there’s Dallin, who’s honorable, strong, and methodical. For him, everything has to be rational and logical. They come together in this world where they both have to learn to trust and where they begin to question their beliefs and their fate.

The author did a wonderful job describing the world. It was vivid and alive.

The only issue I had was that some parts of the book moved too slow for my liking. This was my first book by Ms. Cummings but it will not be my last. View all 16 comments. Nov 20, Kaje Harper rated it it was amazing. This book grabbed my attention and held it from the opening page. It’s not a romance It is an intriguing fantasy about two men who are caught up in magical and political violence and intrigue, cumminys are finding that neither they nor the world around them are what they had previously believed.

Both men are enormously sympathetic and complex characters, and their interactions have a fascination somewhere between a love story and a train wreck. This book cummlngs in my top cuummings of the year. Mig This book grabbed my attention and held it from the opening page. Might be right at the cumminngs if it were a self-contained story. But be warned, this book is in no way complete in and of itself. At the end, the adventure is just beginning for these men together.

I went right out and bought Book 2, and I’m relieved that Book 3 is not aksling far down the road. If you hate cliffhangers, wait to read this until the third comes out. But then, if you enjoy fantasy, run don’t walk to your book vendor and give this a try. View all 10 comments. Since this isn’t a stand-alone novel, it feels a bit arbitrary to give it a rating. But I’m going to go with 3. The world-building is fine, but what really shines here are the characters.

Brayden in particular kept surprising me — apparently I had some fantasy-character stereotypes in my head that I expected him to fall in line with, but he just kept refusing to conform to them. I wouldn’t normally hav Since this isn’t a stand-alone novel, it feels a bit arbitrary to give it a rating.

I wouldn’t normally have picked this up — I’m tired of epic fantasy — but it was only 99 cents. I’m glad I did, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the story.

When the book starts there is no info-dump, so as you read, all of the intricacies of the world Carole Cummings created are slowly revealed. The reader has to pay close attention. The fact that I had to piece things together as I read kept me fully engaged.
