Ron Glick (born January 20, 1969) is a community activist, and has been active in several charitable enterprises. He was born in Plainville, KS. After living in various states, he currently lives in Kalispell, MT. He is the author of The Godslayer Cycle, Chaos Rising, the Oz-Wonderland series, and Ron El's Comic Book Trivia, as well as having written a screenplay adaptation of The Wizard In Wonderland.

"As a writer, I can tell you how hard it is to maintain a single voice, but to do two different styles is way beyond cool." - CP Bialois on The Wizard In Wonderland

- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016This is an intriguing story, but it is not an easy read. Of course, the fantasy genre is not known for it's easy reading. The way the words are woven together in this tale makes for a challenging level of readability that requires all of one's attention. A large portion of the difficulty can be attributed to passive voice, which I am a fan of, but too much of a good thing is not always good. The characters are well developed, the platform is solid and the structure is strong.
Even as my mind was getting used to the idea of a switch to a more difficult readability I was quickly being sucked in, along with everything else in the prologue. Needless to say by the time I got to the first break of the book I was in full on curiosity mode.
The names used are unique and interesting and the material is fresh and creative. The detail is specific in all the right places and vague in the right ways as well, making it easy to picture the places in the way that the characters perceive. As the story progressed I was afraid a few times that some things were going to be described to death, but everything survived and I always knew what my surroundings looked like.
Normally I would never notice whether a chapter was titled or not, but in a tale like this they help to clarify where you are and who is there immediately and I would have liked to see chapter titles to provide a layer of separation between the settings when the story jumps scenes. At the very least a little italicized "you are here" at the beginning of the chapters that start with a drastic setting change would smooth out those speed bumps.
Even though I was unable to breeze through this story, it took me on a path that made me feel better for completing it and, frankly, it made me feel as if I was experiencing genuine, grown-up fantasy.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014Set in the world of Na'Ril (Which also serves as the setting for Ron Glick's Godslayer series), we're shown a different part of the world where different Gods have taken their place. Here, a prophesy claims "The end of the world will come with the sounding of Tarinel's Song". When this event happens the world continues on, leading the safe Tarinel and another studious mage to believe there's more to the prophecy than a single occurrence.
Enter a motley band of heroes that frankly don't really like one another. With a mix of Elves, mages, and a Drow, it's safe to say they tolerated each other may be a stretch, but in the end they put aside their differences to combat a new danger to their world. While you know and understand each one is separate, there are time you want to strangle one of the characters for not "playing nice" and making things easy with the others. Of course, that just makes their adventure all the more enjoyable. :)
The author does a fantastic job of weaving a half-dozen storylines together seamlessly and keeps you guessing throughout making me feel as though I was taking part in their adventure.
As an Epic Fantasy fan, I love books like this and can't wait to read the next one in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013This is not usually the kind of story I enjoy. That being said, the author is a true storyteller. I have to admire the world he created and the way he meshed several stories and plot lines together. It’s the story of a magical world with elves and gods and ancient prophecies. In my humble opinion, this book is better suited for a man than a woman, unless the woman just happens to love this type of fantasy world. Although it wasn’t quite my “cup of tea”, I do commend the author for a well written, developed story. I’m sure that given the right audience, the book would be truly captivating.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2014(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
When I got a short way into this book, I found it a bit difficult to connect the different storylines inside my mind. At first, the separate plotlines seemed kind of disjointed - but as the book went on, things began making more sense.
I found this book to be quite an engaging read, all told. Although there were a few instances I felt that came across as kind of info-dumping, the world was still interesting to read about.
Many of the elements in this book were recognisable as the normal elements found in fantasy books. They were used in ways that helped make this book more entertaining, though.
One of the things I liked about this book was the mythology and the gods. Although a lot of the god-characters didn't show much of their personalities, those that did were quite intriguing and I'd like to see more of them.
Another thing that was quite interesting about this book was the two different groups that came together. Although they weren't all heroes in the conventional sense, it was interesting to see them work together and I felt they came across as quite well-rounded.
I liked Amber a lot, though I wasn't so sure about her from her first appearance. I also especially liked Gooly. I felt sorry for him at first and as the book progressed, I found him more and more intriguing.
I did notice some errors in the writing, but on the whole, I was able to picture a lot of the events happening inside my mind. I did get a bit confused at times with some of the characters' history, but after a while, that confusion settled.
I do have the next book in this series on my Kindle and fully intend to read it very soon.
