      Nice fantasy story explaining the creations of dragons and fairies and how the universe(s) were created. Middle with the history dragged a little and the story would have been much better with a little more character develepment at the begining for the fairies. Decent enough action sequences make for fun read. Enjoyable enough and was a nice way to spend the afternoon in the sun and look forward to reading any type of sequel that might be written.

      Robert (Rob) Wright has had a difficult time, even spending a period of time living on the streets. After having gotten back up on his feet, he is now facing potential homelessness again, and he is close to despair. After his last light bulb burns out, he lights a mysterious candle given to him by one of his clients. This candle summons the assistance of a magical creature, Atara, who warns him of impending danger. When Rob stumbles into even greater danger at the club Neogothic, he again calls upon Atara for help. What he discovers is an ancient battle between the forces of darkness and light, and he must fight for his own soul.The plot has a lot of potential. However, I think that it needs much more development beyond its current 76 pages (epub version). Most of the work was spent recounting the creation myth for Atara's home and subsequent battles between good and evil. There was a lot less emphasis placed on character development. There was quite a bit of repetition, and the dialogue did not flow very naturally. I definitely see this becoming a full-length novel or even perhaps a trilogy.

      Up front let me say that I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, here is that review:

      Neogothic is a fantasy tale that weaves many fantastical elements like dragons, faeries and demons into the world we know. The story concerns a man who has experienced a pretty rough life and how he gets involved in a world most people aren't aware of.

      The story itself is fast paced, a little bit too much so in my opinion. There's a lot of new and strange ideas being thrown around and it would have been nice to let them settle in before throwing the next idea at the reader. It's not a major issue though. The creation myth is well done and probably the highlight of the story.

      It's a fun book which I enjoyed reading.

      Won from a librarything.com member giveaway.

      A very enjoyable novella. Well written with a whole host of fascinating fun characters. at once you're thrown into a very layered fantasy world. It did take a a while to wrap my head around what was going on but its a quick, easy read. Fantastic world building with a vivid back history and a satisfying conclusion, with a nice coda that could possibly lead to a sequel.

      I liked this book and the fact that it was good versus evil. I also liked the dragon fairy and could picture this being in my head. The book was very creative and the characters were good.I liked the ending and think that there may be a sequel. I do think that the characters were too involved and there were too many creatures to remember. Maybe this book could have been broken down into two books. The book would have been a lot easier to understand if there was a list of characters and their abilities/ heritage. That way I could go right to it if I got confused. I did like plot and the pace of the book was well written. It kept my interest and I am left wondering about a sequel.
