world…forever.
Review
Web of the
Spider Queen is certainly a
fast-paced and intense fantasy adventure with a lot of horror influences. The
action begins right from the start, and hence easily grasping the reader into
the story's setting. We are introduced into a world with three races: the
elves, the amazons, and the fairies, and together they must unite and defeat
the spider queen, who took control of their land with her dark magic and
legions of monstrous creatures. The story has a good pace to it, without ever
dragging out on any scene for longer than necessary, and it is very action
heavy. Although at times the deaths of some characters are easily predictable,
it is still a fun fantasy horror novella, and I am definitely looking forward
to part 2. (By Matthew Ashworth)
