Already having a hit with his first book, author Shawn Nichols continues to wow with the sequel in his Books of Forsaken Futures series.  In End of Normals, the author introduces new dangers and challenges for his cast, but he hits his stride, nailing the pacing and style that he’s become known for, and indeed, elevating the world that he’s created.  There continues to be an intensity to the conflicts, and Nichols leans into the insanity of everything that is going on.  With characters who are this dynamic and detailed, it’s easy for them to take center stage.  They have big personalities that shine a spotlight on them, even in the midst of all the crazy things unfolding.

It came to pass, that a moment of frustration would see the light give in to a demon. That in a single lack of restraint, that the world would change forever. That is the world Hale, the light magic type awoke to. One hundred years had passed since he lost control to Hayloskien. Now he must sort out the mess left for him in the wake of Hayloskien.

Nichols continues to enrich his world, too, and his adoration for what he’s built here is on full display.  The author is intensely fixated on delivering a great story, not just for the readers, but for the characters as well, and every chapter seems to construct more of a base for what’s to follow.  Certainly things wrap up where they should, but Nichols has plenty of pages left in him at this point, which should sate the appetites of many hungry readers.  If frenetic action, interesting revelations, and characters that drip with style are something that fans are looking for, the Books of Forsaken Futures are up there alley, and End of Normals, the second book in the series, is an excellent entry in it.  Check out End of Normals (Books of Forsaken Futures 2) on Amazon today!

Once again, we take a look at one of the books at Shawn Nichols, a prolific storyteller who has a knack for writing interwoven tales that coalesce into something complex and brilliant.  Dawn of Beyonders has recently been recompiled, and given some additional clarity, but it’s still as intense and insane as it always was.  Set in the same universe as his massive choose-your-own-adventure book, this first novel in the Forsaken Futures series captures the same strange and captivating magic that readers have come to expect from the author.  Nichols’s characters are back in full force as well, showing off their extreme personalities, all while the author puts them through the wringer.

Criminals have disappeared from around the world and magic has been proven to the masses. But that is just the backdrop. Hale, the light magic type, has been asked by Death to help find his apprentice. He agrees only to find that he would have had to help anyway as his girlfriend has been kidnapped by the same people. The search will lead to an old battlefield that will be new to him.

Nichols is incredibly passionate about the world that he has created here.  Readers will go on a journey that few other authors could handle so well, thanks in part to the copious notes, lore and history that creates the foundation for the Books of Forsaken Futures series.  This initial novel is only the first step into a weird and wild world that fans won’t soon forget.  With four other books already in the catalog, along with an author who thrives on making content, this could be the strange and exciting contemporary fantasy series that you’ve been waiting on.  Check out Dawn of Beyonders (Books of Forsaken Futures 1) on Amazon today!
