“Science appeared forgotten, technology non-existent—a happenstance Roth believed to be for the best, seeing how science had murdered the planet.”

As a huge fan of the ‘Tales of Neveah’ series, I’ve always wanted to see more of Roth’s history and now it’s here.

This is the epic journal (part 1) of Roth’s experience prior to becoming an important part of Neveah, and provides a look at some of his studies prior to this. Wind managed to keep this important character true to what we’ve seen in other books and paint a very plausible picture of how he came into such wisdom. Roth is a brilliant character that could only have been developed by a truly insightful author. If you’re a fan of the ‘Tales of Neveah’ series, read this to appreciate and understand more of the world while getting a fix. If you’re not, you’re sorely missing out and I suggest you get going on it.

At times, the likelihood that these books are our exact future seems eerie, but either way it makes for an epic, incredible read. My only complaint is that there isn’t more … however there will be! I eagerly await part 2.

This read contains adventure, meticulous planning, epic battles, dark magic, pure evil, true love, the makings of what will be either major conflict or alliances (you’ll have to read to find out), action and more.

5 stars. ALL the stars.

But be sure you don’t miss ‘Warlord’.




Part 2


“He wanted to be one of them. He did not want to shape the people of Nevaeh to his old ideals, he did not want to shape their world to his old morality and ideals, nor did he want to influence their growth and their lives by introducing too much of the past into their present; but, he was slowly realizing he had no choice.”

Of course this installment is just as epic as part 1 was and lends more insight into Roth himself. The above quote I pulled from the book well summarizes some of the challenges he faced in returning to Earth and also tells so much about Neveah.

This book really drives home exactly why Roth truly is a ‘lord of war’, rendering all he accomplishes in all of the Neveah chronicles completely plausible and the character development is some of the greatest work I’ve ever seen.

There’s no ‘just one more chapter’ with this novel; it’s masterfully done in a way that as everything comes to a head for one group, it then cuts to the other before showing how it plays out. This book is best devoured; settle into a comfy spot and bring snacks.

“There are times in every leader’s life when one must weigh the values of one action against the other.”

While being completely epic, addictive, exciting and a bit terrifying because of extreme plausibility, this book also drops lots of wisdom. I absolutely recommend both parts of “The Journals of Solomon Roth” to readers of ALL genres.

“You cannot correct the mistakes of the past if you attempt to do the same thing in a different way.”

This a read that will never leave me, and one that I’ll revisit often, and crave in between visits.

5 stars. ALL the stars.
