Beth Ryder knows she's different. In a tiny rural town, being an orphaned and perpetually single amateur photographer crippled by panic disorder is pretty much guaranteed to make you stick out like a sore thumb.

But Beth doesn't understand just how different she really is.

One day, strange things start cropping up in her photos. Things that don't look human. Impossible things. Monstrosities. Beth thinks her hateful sister-in-law, Justine, has tampered with her pictures to play a cruel joke, but rather than admitting or denying it, Justine up and vanishes, leaving the family in disarray.

Beth's search for Justine plunges her into a world she never knew existed, one filled with ancient and terrifying creatures. Both enemies and allies await her there—a disturbingly sexy boss, a sentient wolf with diamond fur, body-snatching dinosaur-birds. Separating the allies from the enemies is no easy chore, but in this strange new world, allies are a necessity. A plot is afoot, and Beth—whose abilities no one seems able to explain—may well hold the key to solving it.

Nolander is the first novel in the fantasy series Emanations. The second novel, Solatium, and a short story, "Theriac," are also available.

well written. I really enjoyed this book. It started slow and there was a lot of talk about demons which I am not fond of, so I almost gave up. But gradually the story line became very interesting to the point that I could not put the book down. Great fantasy.

5,0 su 5 stelle Super book. I really enjoyed this.

This was a very enjoyable book. I was getting so tired of fiction books and even some romance books with some horribly distracting political correctness slotted into the storyline, or five star reviewed amazon books with grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that I was starting to feel like giving up even trying to find something worth reading.

This was such a pleasant surprise.... Well written! No political views expressed! Unusual and imaginative storyline! Hurrah! It has plot turns, monsters, demons, science fiction, romance, unusual and refreshing characters, excitement, action... and took me just three days to read.

It also had a Christian human character who was initially portrayed as a bit nutty but later was revealed to be a really nice person, which is something I haven't come across in recent fiction books... I usually find that Christian characters are portrayed negatively and find this tendency to be repetitive, cruel, predictable and a bit worrying... I realize sometimes these characters are based on real people, and there are some nasty people in the world and nobody is perfect, but it was really nice to see a Christian character in a better light. The book also showed other characters with other conceptions of their' reality, so I felt the book was sensitively written as well, with consideration to different personalities and views.

Well written, exciting, original, enjoyable.

I hope the Author gains the success she deserves.

The book written from the perspective of the main character, Elizabeth Joy Rider (called Beth), who learns that there's more to this world than she'd known. She's thrown into the midst of things and has to figure out who's friend, who's foe and who is she herself.

I enjoyed reading Nolander a lot. Great storyline, authentic characters and a good pace cost me a couple of hours of sleep. Highly recommended!

(Side note: there was one thing irked me a bit. Beth's hometown is called Dorf, the German word for village. As a native speaker I stumbled over it whenever "in Dorf" was mentioned, it reads really strange in another language.)

5,0 su 5 stelle "As though power comes from rules and symbols. Power does not come from. Power *is*."

Rating: +5 plot, +4 character development, +2 shopping montage

Genre: Urban (and sometimes semi-rural) fantasy

Disclaimer: Becca Mills' blog, the-active-voice.com, has cross-posted a couple of my book reviews to her site.

Plot: Beth, a young woman living in small-town Wisconsin, accidentally photographs an invisible monster, bringing her to the attention of the powerful forces of a mysterious other world, the "Second Emanation." She is conscripted into a force whose purpose is to keep the existence of this other world a secret from humankind. She soon discovers that this organization does not have either her or humanity's best interests at heart.

Review: Nolander is an enormously entertaining book, with a well-paced and exciting story built atop a very clever magic system that blurs the line between sci-fi and fantasy. It has a lot of very memorable, gosh-that-was-cool moments, and some exceptionally interesting characters. Speaking of which, I have to give "Best in Show" to Ghosteater, the lovably misanthropic wolf monster with little patience for the complex rules of the humans. Runner up goes to the scene-stealing tree-octopus water mage.

The main character spends most of the book in a very tense predicament, as the unwilling servant of an organization that wants to wield her powers, while at the same time needing their help to understand her powers. It's a dynamic that keeps the pages turning.

Perhaps Mills' prose is a bit more straightforward than I might prefer. I migrate toward prose with a more aggressive vocabulary and more complex sentence structures, which doesn't make for easy reading. Nolander is an easy read, more suited for the bustle of a public transit commute than a quiet evening spent by a roaring fire, wearing a crushed velvet smoking jacket and drinking fifty year old scotch from a snifter, silently attended by my manservant Frederick. But I suppose the hoi polloi must have their bread and circuses.

That's a bit of a backhanded way of saying I thought the book was very accessible. I'm not even sure it's a minus for me, and I know it will be a big plus for a lot of readers.

Frederick! My evening pork rind allotment, if you will.

There were a couple of points in the book where the story slowed to a crawl for me. As a male, I now invoke my inalienable right to find even a brief "girls go shopping" montage painfully tedious.

I've never cared for first-person narration. Toward the end of the book, there was this literarily awkward moment where the narration continued on in the first person, despite the putative narrator not being present. I don't see why this happens, since the author already has a second POV character in Ghosteater. In fact, I think he was in most of those scenes. So I didn't understand the thinking behind that decision.

I would deduct a star for this, but Ghosteater would just steal it back. He's not a polite doggy.

Note: it's Book I in a series. As of this writing, Book II (_Solatium_) is still "forthcoming." I hate it when that happens. :)
