Peregrin Xenolith Book 2 edition by A Sparrow Literature Fiction eBooks
Peregrin by A.Sparrow.In this book Peregrin is a foreigner- stranger -traveler which in my dictionary is Peregrine. On the other hand Peregrin is Pippin from the LOTR. Since this is the second half of an epic adventure it all balances out.
I love everything about the two books Xenolith and Peregrin. I believe that most everywhere the first book is free though in some places you have to purchase the second for about a dollar. That's the e-books. They are well worth the price. If you like the fantasies like LOTR and love reading about great battles this is one fine book.
It's a diamond in the rough though, and I'll get to that, but first the praise.(Five stars for most everything)
Peregrin takes up after Xenolith with the story of Frank Bowen and his wife Liz who have been separated for twenty years by the most fantastic rift one could imagine.
The Xenolith rocks which seem to be much like fools gold hold the key to the power of the convergence that links Earth to Gi. For years their secret was guarded until Cuerti, Crasacs and Polu began invading from Venen. Before then there were many clans and cities and peoples who often fought amongst each other, until the invaders came and they had a common enemy.
This is the world that Liz stumbled into all those years ago and in twenty years she has changed and hardened while somehow in many ways remaining the same. Frank, her husband has tried to live without her but has not been able to move on and has lived the life of a ghost as he goes from one medical mission to another and always landing at Rio Frio where he lost Liz. On the last trip he's too close to one of the Convergences and Tezhey (a traveler who walks the convergences) takes him across to Gi where no one returns. Tezhey along with others like him help keep the secret and when the peregrin wander in they take them to places where they are away from the convergences so they can't get back.
Frank was given a chance to go back and declined being convinced that Liz was on this side somewhere. He finds her in her new life and he discovers how difficult it will be to get back into her life.
But theirs is not the only story.
Ara is a member of an elite force known as the Cadre that is supposed to work with people like Tezhay. While trailing through Earth on a supposed mission of peace she meets up with a band of fellow travelers led by Seor. Ara's leader Baren has told her that they are on a peaceful mission to parlay with the enemy. The problem is that the Venen are not suppose to know about Earth or the stones that drive the Convergence. And it looks as though Baren means to give the Venen a stone. Seor and her people convince Ara that something is amiss with the whole idea and things have gone poorly for everyone leaving some of the wounded on both side of Earth(Ur) and Gi.
This is where A. Sparrow begins to grow the character of Ara as a reluctant but possibly brilliant leader commander.
There are so many well developed characters in this novel each drawn with their strengths and weaknesses sometimes leading everyone into danger even death and other times coming out smelling like roses.
Rarely are there any punches pulled. The horror of war and peoples varied reactions are examined closely. Where characters like Miles and Frank have had such a hard time believing they have ended up where they are and in so causing their own problems; there are characters like Liz who have accepted it and grow to where they turn a blind eye to what is happening around them because they don't remember a day there wasn't conflict even when the Venen were not around.
There's never a dull moment and I think all fantasy science fiction adventure lovers will eat this one up.
I would be remiss though if I did not caution that there will be rough patches for some people.
There are many grammar issues with both books. A. Sparrow has become my second favorite author who is a powerful writer who could benefit from getting a couple extra set of eyes to look at the work.(I'm not offering to do that; I'm busy.)But, I'm sure some college student could even help here.
Many times in this book there are extra words that are redundancies. Sometimes there are missing words. In this novel I didn't notice any misspellings.
We can't catch all of these- I've seen traditionally published books with many such errors. But extra sets of eyes will help vanquish many of those I caught I this book.
So if those things bother you be prepared but please don't let that dissuade you from trying at least the first book Xenolith. I loved them both and I hope you will too.

Peregrin Xenolith Book 2 edition by A Sparrow Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really was excited to read this sequel because Xenolith really intrigued me. I love the story and the characters so much! The first book had a great and unique premise with good world building and great development of characters and dialogue.
How I review books in order of importance Plot, Writing Sophistication Level, Character Depth, World Integrity, and Grammar/Spelling. See my profile for a more detailed explanation.
This book fell short for me by starting with a really great plot but then sputtering at the end. As others have mentioned the construction of the plot is not very coherent, the story just seems to fall apart the further you read into it. More like the story ran out of steam.
The dialogue was pretty good but I feel that it wasn't as sophisticated as it could've been. I was unsatisfied with the way the book ended because I think it was too easy of an ending to write and not as interesting as it could have been. The expansion of the story to include multiple characters does leave room for a better story but led to too much jumping back and forth between characters. I think we have some great characters but minor characters end up detracting from the story.
That being said I will tell you why you should read it. There is supposed to be a third book! (From the latest news I could find the working title is "sojourner".) Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Yes the story will continue and the author has mentioned that he would like to improve upon his second novel in the series. Another reason to read it is the story is good enough to read just to find out more about the world and what happens. There are some great scenes which I feel save the book but just shy of reaching the 4 star level. It's not the author's best work but I hope for the best in the third book!
Peregrin is the sequel to Xenolith. I haven't read Xenolith so I went into this one not knowing what to expect. There were things I liked about the book that would lead me to believe I would like the first book, however there were things about it that I didn't like as well. There are parts of the book that I think I would have enjoyed more if I had read the first one.
To begin with I liked the characters. There didn't seem to be any one main character as the story itself was told from multiple perspectives. The characters are interesting. However I felt that I was missing parts of their back story that would have helped to explain their actions. These items were probably more fleshed out in the first book, so I don't want to hold that against the book in reviewing it.
Also the story and the world that the author have created are very intriguing. But again, there are parts that just seem to be missing that probably have more to do with the fact that I didn't read them in order.
I think my biggest issue with the book has nothing to do with it not being a standalone novel. It came at the beginning and it has nothing to do with the order of the books. In the beginning the author jumps from the present to the past and then back to parts in the present, then leads up to a point in time were all the stories and characters converge. I really didn't like the way it jumped around. By the end it made sense, but in the beginning it was just confusing.
Would I read the first book? Possibly. I would like to discover how the characters ultimately came to be where and who they are. I would also like to find out more of the details of the world and how it connects to ours.
Overall would I recommend it? Yes, but I would say to definitely pick up the first book. The characters and story are solid and well written. But again the book is not a standalone novel and I kept wishing that I knew what had happened before the current events in the story. Maybe then some of the actions taken by the characters at the end of the book would make more sense.
