Review

"People nowadays tend to toss the word 'epic' around fairly loosely, especially in regards to books or films they like, all the while ignoring the historic meaning of the word: EPIC: (Noun) A long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the history of a nation. Based on that definition of the word, combined with the sheer scope and ambition of the work itself, I can say with no hyperbole that THE WATCHER by Joshua Pantalleresco is, truly, an epic epic. Based in a fantasy-based post-apocalyptic world, this epic (yes, meaning it's a poem that tells a story, dear readers) seamlessly blends several genres to tell a story for the ages about love, destiny, and determination, making THE WATCHER a story an epic for the ages." -- Dirk Manning (TALES OF MR. RHEE, NIGHTMARE WORLD, WRITE OR WRONG: A WRITER'S GUIDE TO CREATING COMICS) "The Watcher is post-apocalyptic fantasy tale with a difference, related in the style of an epic poem, where dragons inhabit the devastated ruins of modern cities. The author places the reader in the mind of the Watcher, sharing his thoughts, experiences, hopes and fears as he makes his perilous journey to freedom. There's also enough here to make the reader want to learn more about this world and look forward to the next installment in the series." Simon Rose, Author of Flashback and the Sphere of Septimus "Joshua Pantalleresco paints a stunning and vivid world through poetry and takes the reader on an adventure that is well worth a read." -Christine Steendam, award-winning author of the Ocean series and Foremost chronicles

It was good to read more The Watcher's friends that joined on the journey. It's fast paced like the last book as the group had to quickly mature while exploring the world and learn new languages, especially an important one. With that said, without spoiling it, the events leading up the climax made it a difficult for me to understand the climax when it happened. But it may be because I'm more used to reading stories in a longer format. The way it's told is fresh to me though. Illustrations were great in this one.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015
This is not a typical book in my reading genre these days, however checking out "Stormdancer" reminded me of fun days of yore immersed in the works of David Eddings and Robert Jordan. This book is a sequel to Pantalleresco's first book in the series called "The Watcher" which I did not read but that didn't spoil things. The plot and characters did engage and pique my interest. I also appreciated the lyrical poetry immersed into this fantasy novel. Pantalleresco is very skilled with thoughtful words in this regard. I've not read a lot of dystopian / post-apocalyptic stuff but it was interesting to have my minds eye placed in this position. A recommended read, particularly if you enjoy dragon based fantasy novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy and Post-apocalyptic genres wonderfully blended together
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015
This review will contain spoilers from The Watcher. I apologize in advance.

The Watcher, after returning to the compound to battle the dragons at the end of book one, returns back to the wilderness he now calls home. Only this time, he brings along his rescued friends; Will, Nicki, and Kristen. All four of them had to leave being other friends and family members before the dragons regrouped.

The Watcher's freedom doesn't last, however. Soon after returned to the remnants of The Watcher's home, he disappears into the foliage surrounding them. Will, Nicki, and Kristen are left utterly alone in an unfamiliar world. The story then takes an abrupt (but necessary) shift to another character's point-of-view.

Kristen wasn't really friends with The Watcher, which makes leaving the compound and her complacent lifestyle a bitter pill to swallow. Now that he is missing, she realizes his importance to her. With Will and Nicki, the trio knows that they must find him at all costs.

The poetry within Stormdancer is original and fresh. The length of the book is short but it is packed full of engaging words and imagery that is accentuated with artist renderings. What a wonderful blending of fantasy and post-apocalyptic poetry.

There is so much expression in this novel. Suspense is built up as the drama unfolds as the trio is lead on the "hunt" to find The Watcher. The poetry form of Stormdancer is beautifully written and engaging. The story kept my attention from start to finish.
