Born of two worlds to a big city noble Human father and a Wood Elven country girl, Shadow always yearned for adventure. Now that he's finished with his military service and graduating Hawksmoor Academy Explorer's School, he's off to see the world. The first thing he does is stumble upon the remnants of most infamous group of Explorers on the planet, The Changers. During his studies at Hawksmoor, Shadow studied the group, marveling at the seeming madness in their decision to return the infamous Golden Amulet to Raunos, the super-demon that it came into the world with. And now ... Shadow has chosen to become one of them, one of The Changers. And his noble lineage leaves no argument about such things. Once you chose your friends and your allies, you defended them, without hesitation. even in the face of the cataclysm about to come. Because the problem wasn't with the Golden Amulet or Raunos. The problem was what came with it into this world.

Excellent Story Line - Highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2019

I immediately was engrossed with the characters. This is a well written book that entertains to the end. I will definitely be reading this book again. It is so jam packed that I am sure I missed a few things. I highly recommend it. I can't wait for the video game based on this book to be completed.

The Best I’ve Read This Decade

Imperium Omni is simply the best fantasy story I’ve read this decade. The characters are deep and I tended to either love or hate them. I cannot wait for the video game!

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

I received a copy of Imperium Omni: Captain's Edition direct from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Imperium Omni is a fantasy story based on an RPG (role playing game) board game and I have to say I felt that it really worked. The writing was really well done and rich in detail, The world building was immersive and I could really picture myself with the characters.

To make it work for readers who play RPGs, there are certain symbols at important spots throughout the story, which you can then go to the section at the back of the book for more details. If you're not a RPG player or only play casually like myself, then you can just read on past these symbols and nothing is taken away from the story itself. As a side note, I think the author would make an awesome DM (Dungeon Master) if he plays D&D!

I really like the main character Shadow, a half elf, and I thought he was really rounded, though at times he spoke far more than necessary. We follow him on his first assignment as an Explorer and he is excited to start having adventures and seeing the world while completing his duty. He meets a whole cast of characters on the way, some a lot nicer than others as well as a love interest which feels a little forced, but it may become more natural in the next book.

The only thing I would say is that the chapters are far too long in this book, there are 468 pages and only 5 chapters. The author does explain in the introduction why they have done this, but I much prefer faster paced, shorter chapters to keep me reading. I also hate putting a book down at an unnatural break.

Overall though a really enjoyable read and one I would recommend, I will also be reading the next book in the series when that comes out.

Enticing plot but a big let down

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2016

I really wanted to like this book. Not only did I get a free version thanks BookTasters, but the plot seemed enticing.

PROS:
1. The world-building/races/skill- is pretty interesting if you're into all that. (I'm not, so I skimmed a lot of it).
2. There are some interesting events within the story.
3. There are a few action scenes, and two of them (notably) are pretty interesting to read.

PRO? CON?
~RPG novel: The introduction let's you know that it's based on a role-playing game, and many times it reads that way (especially for those that have DMs heavily into planning rather than allowing the campaigns to run-in head first and hope for the best). There were far too many details (in my opinion) on many aspects of the world and on the characters leveling up.

CONS:
1. Sentence Structure: Run-ons, fragments, and dangling modifies littered the book. Not all of the sentences were poorly constructed, but the ones that are can be overly distracting if you're sensitive to them.
2. Chapter breaks (or lack thereof): SERIOUSLY! The book is sizable and I think it has 5 or 6 chapters. I found it ridiculous that I had to read 30% of the book before I came to the 2nd chapter!
3. Too much dialogue: Instead of the exciting action scenes as they go through everything, the author relies on heavily scripted dialogues and plans. Many of the action scenes were either something along the lines of either: "and it went pretty easily" or after a small skirmish/descriptive scene: "and so it went for the next several days."
4. Flat Characters: Personally, I felt that most of the characters felt kind of flat and/or nothing distinguishing about them. The main character, Shadow, is 'smart' but speaks before thinking. The female elf also seems smart and quieter(?) except for when she gets angry and lashes out and she doesn't have very many skills in diplomacy. The other two main characters (the fighter and the mage) are more well-seasoned in terms of battle. Unless there were some context clues (specific to their class), I would have no idea who was talking. Needless to say, I was not invested in any of the characters.
5. I thought the romantic relationship between the female and Shadow was forced. It didn't come off as genuine. Their two sexual encounters were far apart and somewhat random. One of the scenes was a little graphic (no actual sex) and the other was a hinted scene that that's what was going to actually happen--as told through DIALOGUE. I think the book could have done without it.

In short, thanks for the read. I'm sorry I didn't like it. Even though there are some loose ends that have not been tied up, I have zero interest in reading the sequel.
