After her mother is captured by elves, young Samara travel across a vivid, colorful, imaginary landscape, guided by an internal voice, which both enlightens and frightens. She is taught to release an inner power, and she must do so to save her tribe and rescue her mother. Samara is one you grow to adore and root for.
It's both a great YA novel and adult dark fantasy. It is said, "A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children isn't a good children's story in the slightest." Well, that is certainly true with THE UNFETTERED CHILD. The novel says a lot about family values and love. Author Michael C. Sahd has a great knack for story-telling, weaving in a diverse cast of characters with many plot surprises. Frankly, the book was addicting.

Those who like D&D-based novels will derive most enjoyment from The Unfettered Child. Sahd handles the spells and game mechanics well enough. There are enough original elements to entertain most other fantasy buffs, and make the plot feel fresh and original.
I personally would like to see the D&D concepts of mage's memorising spells, or barbarians raging, made into something more thoughtful and based on Sahd's own magic-world mechanics. Sahd hasn't quite left the womb of his D&D upbringing, and written something wholly original. Saying that, when he shines, he shines brightly, and captures well scenery and characters, though battle scenes seem a little rushed, or perhaps complex.
In all, I enjoyed reading this story, so awarded it five stars. The book is a good read for any fantasy lover, but especially to those who are fans of D&D.
