In the fantasy story Trials of Baromir, Baromir spends two weeks out of his farming life visiting the continent he lives on. From Helva province he travels to Lagosia province and ends up in the city of Dormir. Along the way, he encounters a female mage, a dragon disguised as a commoner, and a dwarf who can't mind his business searching for the ultimate fight. As he spends time in Dormir city, he encounters thugs, criminals, and a prince out to get a dragon to stop eating his magical cows.
Reading 'The Trials of Baromir' was a really nice, relaxing experience. The nonpretentious language makes this book a perfect piece to unwind and just enjoy the story. With a bit of fantasy, a touch of magic, and a sprinkle of romance and adventure, you have all the ingredients for a compelling narrative.
This story has dragons and magic and adventure and a wise king with an evil son and lots of food and ale. The female characters are talented and respected. It's a lovely change from complex, sometimes overwrought books. I enjoyed it and I'm sure others will too.
