Now my blog's almost dead so I'm just in time to keep it alive. THis is a different type of post though, its gonna be a book review. But I shall only summarise the fisrt part as there is far too many things to summarise about in the book as there are just too many important points. yes, you might say, if this is a summary you should try to minimise the words. So if you say that, then I can just write the cover page.
Book Title: 1st book of 'The Books of Umber", titled 'Happenstance Found'
Author:P.W.Catanese
Here begins our tale:
The boy felt as if he'd emerged, fully conscious, out of nothing. His eyes were blindfolded and when he reached for it, an unfamiliar voice spoke, "Don't touch that." Knowledge seemed to float back to him slowly, but he still didn't know his name. The stranger told him to be quiet, at least until the worm passes. A moment later, there was incessant clacking and a finger was drew to his lips, a sign for him to be quiet. After the worm passed, there were footsteps and voices heard. A trio appeared in an archway. Their names were: Oates, a burly man; Sophie, an archer; and Lord Umber, a man always in search of an adventure.
The stranger spoke outta nowhere, "Call him Happenstance. Take him Umber. You'll need him for your next task. The boy has a note in his pocket, you'll find some answers there. Good luck Umber and Happenstance."
Umber then discovers that Hap (short for Happenstance) could see in the dark with his green eyes as he possesses nocturnal vision, a newe discovery for Umber and Hap himself. THe not that Umber received from the stranger through the boy said on the front cover: For The Eyes Of Umber Only. After Umber reads the note, Hap asks what was in it but Umber refused to tell him.
Umber later offered Hap to travel with them and Hap accepted the offer, not knowing what else to do. Along the way, Umber then told Hap that this maze of rocks was actually called Alzumar, which was buried by a volcano ash after a volcano named Mount Ignis erupted. He then said that the tyrant worm made Alzumar its home as it can't stand the light of the day. Umber then told Hap about the tyrant worm being a legendary man eater.
(What an abrupt ending...)
