The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill Volume 1 SeanPaul Thomas 9781522933663 Books

I have been a fan of Sean Paul.Thomas for awhile, especially after reading Sarah Smiles. I also recommend Ugly-Beautiful as well. He has a writing style the is very straightforward and realistic, yet somehow being a little whimsical and a fantastical at the same time.
Mr.Thomas creates memorable and realistic characters, then puts them into occasionally confusing, but definitely engrossing situations. I want to up be upfront, he gave me a free copy of the manuscript to read and review. I unfortunately got sick and then dropped and broke my Kindle, losing access to my free copy. However, I was so interested in this book the after I recovered, I purchased a new Kindle, then I bought my own copy to finish reading Liam's story. I also plan to buy the second and third volumes. I think it is a terrific story and I while do see some parallels with Peter Pan, I think this story goes well beyond and addresses the evils of tyranny in a very entertaining way.
I do have one quibble, that bothered me and I would like to mention. J.M. Barrie stands for James, not John. This isn't enough to damage the story, but did jar me a little. Other than, I think you will enjoy the relationship between Liam and Lucy, Liam and G, and the struggle against cruel and duplicitous rulers. It may even be a nicely written allegory on the evils of anti-immigration policy and authoritarianism that seems be sweeping some countries right now. I highly recommend this book, both for adults and young adults.
But the ultimate point is that is a well written some gritty fantasy that I enjoyed, and think you will as well.

The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill Volume 1 SeanPaul Thomas 9781522933663 Books Reviews

I have gotten this book because it was free, and I have read the author before. This time, it is a YA adventure with a mix of mystery. Liam Rankin is the protagonist of the book, and befriends Lucy who moved to the house opposite him. Aside from Lucy, Liam has a new friend, who introduced him to new worlds.
As book one of the series, The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill serves as a strong start to an interesting story. I would love to see the characters grow.
Not sure why it took me so long to finish this short story as I really enjoyed this book. It was so magical and fun reading about a new spin of Peter Pan that was different from any other version I've read. It debunked a few set ideas set by Disney about how fairies are human looking miniatures and how worlds are our worlds are connected with human feelings and political ideals that registered with me and others now.

Liam, Lucy, and G are absolutely wonderful! I can't help rooting for them all to be successful in their hopes and dreams about wanting to satisfy their curiosity and have many adventures. Maybe even developing a first love romance between Liam and Lucy. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. In truth I thought it would a pretty bad story as it seemed to be self-published but I'm counting down the time period until I get Part 2 or Part 3 of this series.

My issues with this book are very small. There were a few minor punctuation errors but not a whole lot to dampen my enjoyment. The other issue I had was the opening chapter was a scene where Liam and G are in her world then we go back to the very start to how everything started. The first chapter showed up again a few chapters later. This could possibly work in a movie but not in a short story. It seemed unnecessary to have that first chapter since it showed up later on. It would have made Part 1 more concise, in my opinion.

It bothers me that this book is broken up into parts instead of one whole book. I would have preferred the three parts combined into one ebook, but considering this ebook is free on I can't complain too much. If this book seems interesting to you then I suggest you buy this part for free on ASAP.
I didn't really know what to expect with 'The Fairy Boy of Calton Hill'. It's a young adult fantasy book that takes places in Edinburgh, Scotland. The author, Sean-Paul Thomas is from Scotland and there is some Scottish slag and terms that are tossed around but I had no issues with it at all. I really enjoyed those parts.

I had to look up Sean-Paul Thomas because in the beginning of the book there is a character that is introduced and his name makes me think of Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols. I'm assuming Mr. Thomas put in this character/name to honor the band he enjoys so much. There are also other name dropping of popular books during the time period of when we were kids. It's nice that he is trying to get kids to check out those books. I enjoy the band and the books too and that made me think, I bet Mr. Thomas is my age. So, I looked him up and sure enough he is in my age range, plus the image I saw of him shows how toned he is. Nice. Getting back from the daydream of this author...

Liam is a boy that fancies a girl. It's kind of funny how Liam wants to claim Lucy for himself. Typical males. Still, since this boy doesn't really think about the "what ifs" of the amazing events he has encountered it gets him in trouble as well as Lucy. I kept thinking "dumb kid".

The fantasy part of this is likable. It has Fae, dragons, a neat forest and so many other world creatures/nature. I really liked the twist in the Fae and their image. So many times, they are the cute Disney style Tinkerbell kind and in this story they are not like that at all.

The descriptions are great. He built a nice atmosphere of Edinburgh. I was able to picture the places and locations from the story. His description of the Fae world was great too. It was so easy to picture the kids there.

The ending, why must the book end like that. For sure you have to pick up book 2. For me, there are parts I found annoying. I still find this book great for an age range of 10 to 14. In my looking up Mr. Thomas I saw he had some more grown-up style books with Scottish slang and other warnings. I'm for sure going to pick up those books and give them a go.
