PHANTASIA (Book One: Into the Rain), by M. U. Riyadad Review "Many of the passages swept me into the world of the story.... The flow never stops to deliver a message.... The characters were truly impressive. The world itself was fascinating enough, but seeing how it shaped the characters was truly intriguing.... My compliments to the author."- San Francisco Book Review (5 out of 5 stars)"[Phantasia] is a sprawling fantasy epic mixed with science fiction elements, and a fantastic set of characters. It echoes shades of Dune and Lord of the Rings, but at the same time is its own story with a unique voice, setting, and plot. The author doesn't try to hide his use of common tropes, and instead, puts a unique twist on each of them."-The Tellest"The world building has a sense that leaves it feeling far reaching and a larger part of an incredible and unique universe."-Amazon Reviews

He watches a rare classroom demonstration of the ‘infection’ of a simple creature by a Xenosite – creatures threatening their very existence. It’s a gruesome sight, and shows the enemy they are all working to defeat.Impressed, Red and his friends prepare to face the Field Test, a hazardous multi-day event that determines placement upon graduation. They all want to go to a different planet to compete in the qualifiers for WEAPON, a secretive project for MegaCORP that no one really knows anything about. More than anything they want to join the battle against the Xenosites, and WEAPON looks to be the key to winning this battle.Red’s oldest friend is Raven, an orphan like himself whose talent so far exceeds all the others that she’s classified as Prometheus, a very rare thing. Red himself is a fire starter, with the ability to create and throw fire.We will discover some wonderful ideas in this, such as the culture of the Blood Elves.I found myself rapidly reading this at night, sometimes staying up later than I should. That’s a great sign. Fantasy often conjures up visions of Middle Ages or middle earth, so be advised that Phantasia is in some ways closer to a Sci-Fi. Even the ‘magic’ feels more tech than magic.Amazingly for a novel this length I found only 2 actual typos. Early on there were a few too many ‘screams’, where other dialogue descriptions should have been used. Still, these either disappeared or I was too caught up in the tale to notice.I must complain, however, that this book didn’t end at all – which struck me as most unfair. First, nowhere was it mentioned this is a series, so finding myself left hanging was frustrating.Even in a series there ought to be some payoffs for the reader. In any Star Wars film, for example, there may be things left unanswered, but most current problems are resolved. Han Solo maybe encased in carbonite, but Luke and Leia escape Darth Vader’s trap and can now regroup to rescue their friend. Here we’re left, to all intents and purposes, in the pit of despair.In all, this is a very promising start from a very promising writer. But for heaven’s sake, fulfill your promise and write the conclusion.

The world-building is deep and imaginative; the action scenes are over-the-top and genuinely exciting; the monsters are satisfyingly awe-inspiring, the villain satisfyingly mysterious. The book unapologetically mixes space opera, kaiju horror, and epic fantasy into a story that reads a bit as though the cast of Harry Potter found themselves thrown into a lost chapter in the Final Fantasy series.I've put my share of hours into Harry Potter and Final Fantasy, but they each have their weaknesses, and PHANTASIA shares some of them. The characters are a bit schematic, defined principally by their roles in combat and secondarily by broad-brush elements of personal history (the aristocrat, the refugee). The action is often interrupted for long passages of exposition about the story world's history, politics, or metaphysics -- which can be done well, but here it tends to take on the feel of a role-playing game supplement, filling in vital statistics rather than advancing the narrative or kindling questions that keep the reader moving forward. Ideas from gaming seem to be imported more or less unquestioningly -- it's taken for granted that monster-killing is a useful yardstick of combat prowess, that monsters come in discrete "stages" corresponding to their power, that monster-killers come in bundles of shared powers called "classes," and so on.Fundamentally, I think I'm not the ideal audience for this book. I personally prefer books that are more focused on language, where the world-building emerges organically from events and dialogue rather than through authorial exposition. But if you're looking for a book that is, first and foremost, about heart-pounding action and epic wonder, you'll enjoy PHANTASIA.

I don't read a lot of fantasy or sci fi novels, so this was kind of a new territory for me, but I thought the plot, characters, and writing were all brilliantly executed. In the first chapter, we are introduced to Red, a student at Crest, and a creature called a Xenosite. I'm not going to go into too much detail (you have to read it yourself!), but the author's mastery of description and his imagination got me hooked right from the start--that can be seen throughout the rest of the novel too. In books of this genre by less skillful the story and characters are often lost underneath a bunch of description... but there was not a problem with that in Phantasia. Riyadad creates this new, epic, world that we get sucked into immediately. The cast of characters were written with a similar care; they were enjoyable and relatable, dynamic and interesting. Together, they make the already unique and engaging plot all the better.If you are considering buying this book, whether it is because you are intrigued by the synopsis or hooked by the sample... you should definitely add this to your bookshelf. It is a great find, and you will not regret it! Personally, I will be looking for future installments of this series.
