The Legend of Tellam is a title of the Doom’s Wing series. It is a fictional epic tale about a boy Tellam and his odysseys through life. It is about his search for the answers about his life; the mystery of his birth and his family.
The book is made up of a short story and some poems that are part of the central story. The story is spun like a web; string by string until you get the complete picture. The characterization and the milieu of the book are elegantly drawn and comes in full circle.
A fantasy book thrives on creativity. The creation of a milieu that is totally fictitious and surreal; a creation of a mode of life, that is magical and not in existence in the real world. A fantasy book like the Tolkien’s Lord of the rings pays a lot of attention to the creation of a place that doesn’t exist giving it a culture and making it ring true.
The book is primarily a fantasy book, but different themes exist in the book: love, Justice, Adventure, and magic. The book was original in its own right. Not a cliché of a fantasy novel. The type where you create a world and put witches and magic and just string them together to bring a familiar tale that closely resembles a book already done before.
If you are a fan of fantasy novels; adore books by Tolkien, Neil Gaiman. You would definitely enjoy this. Even if you don’t like fantasy books or have never read one before you won’t regret reading this. The story is spun like a lyrical poem.
