Dear Reuben,

Regarding your book “ Birthed in Blood”………is the next book ready yet!!
I found the story intriguing, exciting, captivating and struggled to put it down. I get involved in books, and visualize the story and its characters. You did not fail me and I found it easy to totally get immersed in the story.
Whilst we were in our busiest time of the year, your story helped me escape reality for a while and allowed me to relax whilst reading. I have not read properly for at least 7 years now as we bought a hardware store and are kept very busy. But your book helped me find back my love of reading. I vow to read more often, and CAN NOT Wait till your next book is ready.
Have you authored any other books, if so, please let me know! I love your storyline, I love the characters, I simply can’t wait till the next book.

Warm regards,

Coby

(5 stars) Exciting New Read
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023

There are so many great things about this book, I don't even know where to begin. You've got Elves, Orcs, Humans and more (no spoilers here ;p ) with luscious world building, mystery, and intrigue for a great new fantasy book. The flow and structure are paced well - not too slow or too quick. The Lore used and history about this lore is laced throughout so you are immersed from start to finish and in a way that is not overwhelming and makes it super easy to follow along. The introduction you have to all the characters is written in a way that makes you feel like you know them (or would definitely want to know them) and I absolutely adore London and Pyper. They are so relatable, lovable, funny and sweet, yet feisty and brazen in their own ways! I always say a great book plays like a movie in your head, and this sure did! I am already pining for book 2! Reuben definitely has a gift for storytelling and I'm so so excited to see how he continues this series! My first book from him and glad to say this will definitely not be the last!

Birthed in Blood is a fantastic sword and Sorcery book. The world building is astonishing, The Elven Kingdom of Fylaena Caelora is mysterious and holds many secrets. Great character development, Orcs, Elves and humans. Excited to see where this will continue. Beautifully written.
