Today I’m really excited to participate in the blog tour
of ‘Guardian of Terath: Seeking Sorrow’ by Zen Dipietro. This is an adult
sci-fi fantasy and is the first in a series.
Check out the tour page for more stops.
About the Book:
An earth-like world of high-tech humans faces the reality
that their world is not as safe as they thought it was. Five people are thrown
together to quietly get to the bottom of an unfathomable mana event that must
stay quiet. If the population of Terath becomes aware of the truth, it will spark a civil war. That war would pit the
majority of the population against the powerful minority with the ability to
harness and manipulate mana. The resulting cataclysm would decimate the
population and tear apart the foundation of society.

harness and manipulate mana. The resulting cataclysm would decimate the
population and tear apart the foundation of society.
The five people chosen for this must reconsider everything
they thought they knew about mana, even as they learn to trust one another’s
abilities. They must embrace everything they never wanted in order to prevent
the devastation of their world. One of them will be forever changed. Love will
be denied, badassery will be unleashed, and Terath will never be the same.

Even success comes at a price.
My Review:
To be completely honest I didn’t really knew if this was
the book for me. I read the book description and I was definitely interested
but I didn’t feel really excited about this book. I really liked the cover and
the way it looks kind of mysterious, and after I read several great reviews
about this book I decided to sign up for the blog tour.
‘Guardians of Terath: Seeking Sorrow’ is the story about
five strangers with all different talents. These five strangers are put together
to investigate a treat on Terath, an earth like world. Not only do they need to
travel a lot but they also need to keep everything they do a secret. If the
people of Terath would know what kind of treat is happening, there would be a
lot of panic and maybe even the start of a civil war.

This book was definitely a huge surprise for me. After
the first two chapters, where there was a lot explained about the Mana and the
people who have the ability to use this ‘power’, I found myself unable to stop
reading. I loved getting to know Terath, and the way the people of Terath
lived.

The best part of this book for me where definitely the
five main characters Izzy, Will, Arc, Luc and the Shiv.
They are all very different with different talents and in this book you really
get to know all these characters. I loved the way they were strangers but got
to know each other throughout the book, just as we got to know them.

My favorite characters were
definitely Izzy and the Shiv. They are both very strong, independent and gifted
people and I loved reading about them. But the Shiv was definitely my favorite
character. I loved the mystery and the surprises of this character.

There’s also a little romance in this
book, but it is on the background. This definitely worked for me because that
just wasn’t the main goal of this book. The friendships and the journey to
finding answers were definitely on the front and I just really loved it.

Zen Dipietro was able to write an amazing
and intriguing story. Her writing was easy to follow but also very descriptive.
She really made Terath come to life for me. I loved this book and would
definitely recommend it if you’re a fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy books.
