5 Lips!

Kally Jo Surbeck will certainly suck readers in with Sudden Fall and although it didn’t have sexual content, it was certainly not missed! What a dynamic and new twist to the age-old good versus evil; it had me hooked from page one. It kept me rapidly reading and held me in suspense as I went along for the ride, wept with Hafwyen and shouted my approval at the end. This is the first book I’ve read from Ms. Surbeck but it won’t be the last!

4 Cups!
The chemistry between the two is touching and sweet. Not sickeningly sweet but truly romantic. The reader is rooting for them to survive and be together. Ms. Surbeck’s villain is three dimensional, more than just a cardboard cut out bad guy, she has given him elements which make the reader feel sympathy for him as they loathe him at the same time.

Sudden Fall is an excellent read, and I highly recommend it. I will be waiting to hear Fionn’s story next!

Sudden Fall pulls the reader into an enchanting world where the fate of a nation lays in the hands of soul mates that must find each other and overcome the evil machinations of their enemy. I enjoyed the interaction between the characters and the unique connection that Wyen and Yestin shared, even over a great distance. The struggles and obstacles that they must overcome remind the reader that without strife, there is no real appreciation for the happiness that you experience in life. I found myself not wanting to put the book down because there is never a dull moment in it. I just had to know what was going to happen next and see if Wyen and Yestin would be able to stop the Fall of Yadderwal.

SUDDEN FALL is a very enjoyable fantasy romance, which takes place in a complex and intriguing world filled with interesting characters. I found Ms. Surbeck’s use of potions and magic intriguing, and her characters are diverse and exciting. The obsessed, stalker villain is particularly chilling. Personally, I would have liked more scenes with the hero, but that didn’t detract much from the overall enjoyment of SUDDEN FALL. I highly recommend it.

Sudden Fall is an entertaining fantasy tale with a romantic foundation and a few very intriguing twists. Though the story is quite short, the plot is quite solid and the characters have a good deal of potential. I see that the author has created a second book in this series, so I am interested to see where the author takes these characters in the next book.

Breath-taking in its complexity and beauty, Sudden Fall kept me captivated from word one. The characters are richly developed into deeply satisfying people. Ms. Surbeck intertwines multiple realities into a seamless whole and pulls the reader right into the middle of it all. Love, destiny, hope and friendship walk hand in hand through the pages and create a fulfilling treasure that only a master bard can bring to life. To my friends I must say, “Get your own copy as I am hiding mine for my exclusive consumption lest it disappear.” To everyone else, “Hurry and get your copy before my friends beat you to them all!”

5 Angels!
Sudden Fall is the first in the Yadderwal Balance Series and Ms. Surbeck demonstrates that she definitely knows how to open a series in style.

Kally Jo Surbeck makes Yadderwal and its inhabitants come to life with her eloquent prose. The descriptions of the history and Lore, as well as the setting and people, make this new world distinct and enjoyable… The final scenes are lyrical in their beauty and intensity and have this reader hoping that the second book in this series will be available soon.

5 Enchantments!
This is the kind of book dreams are made of… This story brings back dream I had as a young girl. A fantasy world any girl or woman could wish for. This author combines the childlike dreams of young girls with the passions of young women. A wish for a happily ever after that always touches the heart. I cannot wait for the next installment in this series.
