Reseñas de la Crítica

"For high fantasy and fantasy romance readers, this novel gets right into the hearts of the ones who love a strong, balanced story. Ross J. Kinnaird's debut novel holds a captivating balance between fantasy, mystery and character development. It definitely paves the way to a great sequel. Recommended". (Kathleen Lynch, Irish MEDIAPress)

Listening at 1.3x speed the narrator was fantastic.

The narrator definitely saved this book for me. The story was a little draggy at parts in particular the first part of the story. Pace picked up when the magic started. Will listen to the second book to see how the story continues.

the magic of other worlds that time couldn't separate

everything about this book was so tastefully done! the author captured the love, the magic and the suspense 100% perfectly

interesting story but...

This story is interesting, but the writing leaves much to be desired. The way the author writes conversations is stunted and unrealistic and kept taking me out of the story. Perhaps it is just the way the narrator is reading it??? His monotone voice was more annoying than anything else. I kind of recommend it, but perhaps a hard copy is the way to go.

Worlds with other beings being so willing to help Daniel and friends.

I didn’t like the ending. I don’t think Daniel and Noah are resolved. Next book
Please.

Captivating story telling

Insanely good story telling and arch. I loved every minute of it- I can’t wait to read more, and am dying for the next book to come out on audible!

Love is the message

The Power of Love: The One by Ross J. Kinnaird is the first installment in the Power of Love series and marks an impressive debut for the author. This novel is a sophisticated blend of fantasy and romance, offering a journey of love that spans many lifetimes. Unlike typical MM novels, Kinnaird's writing is deeply layered, with realistic characters and a complex storyline that gradually reveals new and exciting possibilities. Readers should be prepared for a marathon rather than a sprint, as this series avoids traditional resolutions.

Daniel, one of the main characters, experiences life-changing visions and dreams that lead him to uncover surprising truths about himself. His complicated love life takes a pivotal turn when he meets Noah, the man from his dreams who has been waiting for him. A birthday trip with his best friend sets the stage for this fateful meeting, propelling them into a new world in peril. Here, the trio must embrace their roles as heroes while navigating the challenges of returning home.

Slow start and meandering story.

I felt the story meandered and was sometimes hard to follow. Some details in the story didn’t seem to integrate in the story.

the narrator is incredible. easily the best thing about the book.

The story starts off very interesting and intringing. but fantasy is not the author's strong suite. I found the world they finally enter confusing and there was too much exposition and not enough at the same time. the romance if that's what you can call it. Is kind of lackluster and never really goes anywhere. the author kind of writes himself into a moral dillima that he never really is able to over come and just sidesteps the whole thing in the end. making for a unrewarded and somewhat ambiguous ending. that said there were a lot of good parts and ideas and it definitely has an originality to it. I may read the sequel and maybe some of the loose ends and confusion can be better addressed.

The characters are fantastic!!

I really love the uniqueness of the characters and the imagination that is ripe throughout the book!! Well done!!!

It’s Complicated

Kudos to the narrator for a stellar performance. The story however was so complicated and over-written that it was nearly impossible to follow. It’s desperately in need of editing. I’m an avid reader, and to be fair, I haven’t read a lot of fantasy. But I’ve read enough to feel this book was self-indulgent on the part of the writer. I cannot recommend this book. I would go so far as to say that I regret my purchase, and I won’t be continuing the series.
