Description

The Book of Deacon is the first book of The Book of Deacon series by Joseph R. Lallo.

Myranda Celeste’s world has been built on a legacy of bloodshed. For more than a century, her homeland the Northern Alliance has fought the Kingdom of Tressor in what has come to be known as the Perpetual War. While her people look upon the conflict with reverence, Myranda’s hate for the war has made her an outcast.

When she finds a precious sword among the equipment of a fallen warrior, she believes her luck may have changed. Little does she imagine that the treasure will draw her into an adventure of wizards and warriors, soldiers and rebels, and beasts both noble and monstrous. The journey will teach her much about her potential, about the origins of the war, and about the threat her world truly faces.

Will Myranda unlock the secret of bringing peace once and for all, or will the world be lost to the Perpetual War?

    This book was endlessly fascinating as Myranda lives only to survive and then finds a greater purpose. As well the enigma that is Leo/Lain. The only thing I did not like about the book was that it ended.
  • Great book

    First of all, I liked the fact that it was free! The second book in the series may not be free, but I’m already excited to read it anyway!! This author has written a masterpiece! I was interested because of the description, extremely intrigued by the first paragraph, and in love by the 20th page!!! I highly recommend this book; it is one of the best I have ever read. Trust me. I have read a lot. I finished this book in about 3 days. GET THIS BOOK!!!!!! If you’re looking for a book for a project, or just for fun, this book will satisfy you!! Woah, though. Just... woah. 🤩 P.S: Be happy!!! The Lord is here!!!!!!! 😁🍥❤️🍓

    Lallo’s mystical fantasy is convoluted and makes abrupt changes, but he ties up most of the loose ends eventually. And a cliffhanger ending, nooooooo!

    I found myself compelled to finish this first story. I felt an urgency to follow and see where the tale went in it's journey. Great characters, from irascible and somewhat immoral wizards to very tainted soldiers and politicians. I did find Myranda a little tedious at times. Even while I could agree with her anti war, anti killing attitude, she did become a little holier than thou at times. Overall I found it to be an interesting and good story.
  • Loved it!

    I thought this book was beautifully written. Yes there may have been some things that weren’t perfect but what I really care for is the story line. A few grammatical errors and spelling mistakes aren’t a big deal. It was a wonderful story with creative characters and I cannot wait to continue it!
  • It’s ok .... sorta

    But not great. If it’s just a prequel to try and get you to by the rest of the trilogy ( which I guess now includes a fourth un-finished book) couldn’t it have been a lot shorter and left out all the tedious predictable stuff? And maybe the main characters shouldn’t do so much dumb irrational stuff and make bad decisions. And maybe fewer miracles to save the hero’s or maybe fewer miraculous unbelievabe performances by the heroes to save the day, but then turn right around and do something dumb to get themselves in trouble again? It’s an interesting premise for a story, but I probably won’t read anymore of the books, certainly not if I have to pay for them, from the library maybe?
