UPDATED 2020
Can young Lem survive the realm of the Ogres? Then again, can he survive the crazy plans of his master the alchemist?

I thought being an alchemist's apprentice would lead to a dull and boring life. How wrong was I!
I was drawn in to a war between the Ogre king and an Ogre Warlord in the Kalth Mountains. A curse has been unleashed on the kings Ogres giving the Warlord the upper hand and my master could see the repercussions that would prevail on our own kingdom if the Warlord was to succeed, so we went to help.
I had only been his apprentice a short while and now I was trying to survive against Ogres, serpents, night terrors and a little girl called Beth who happened to be a demon.
But would I change anything?
Not if I could help it! I was having the time of my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A straight forward Young Adult Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016

A fun adventure, young adult style. The setting is a fantasy world that is familiar, with a few tweaks from the author. There is danger and fighting, but not a lot of gore. The book ends with the option to continue the adventure, but without (without!) the story-killing crutch of a 'cliffhanger' non-ending. The prose is carefree and fun. The plot move along nicely -- enjoy the story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ugh, get Grammarly software - it's free!

I want to state at the start that this was a free book.

I enjoyed the story despite some confusing character development: Terrified young man suddenly stands up to "bully" then spends the rest of the story being scared; Ogres speak properly then revert to "Me don't like eggs." type of dumb-dumb speech, then back to proper English and back to dumb-dumb English. Weird and annoying. Missing punctuation and words, (particularly commas - what has he against commas?) capitalization errors and redundant speech galore!!!! That really breaks the flow of the story and makes it hard to stay in tune with the characters feelings.

Get Grammarly or some other writer's software to correct your sloppy mistakes. I might read more of this author if the books are free, but I won't pay even 99 cents for his work. And that is a real shame because I think I'd like his stories if it weren't for the errors!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story, HORRIBLE grammar and punctuation.

In the THROES, not in the throws
the WORST, not the worse
MASON jar is a BRAND NAME, not an adjective or descriptor
Above are a few of the most blatant examples of grammatical errors. Punctuation errors are too numerous to list. It could be an amazing story with decent editing.
