Richard Garcia Morgan Debuts With Great Fantasy

A Review of

Richard Garcia Morgan The Hidden Island (Waystone, 2017)
                 153 pp   $8.99   ISBN: 978-1-7750695-0-8

Reviewer:  Forrest W. Schultz

     I shall begin by thanking Nicky Kotar for recommending this book, which is the first story in the Tales From Mysterion trilogy.  The Island referred to in the title is not hidden in the usual sense of the term: it is located in the fantasy realm called Mysterion, which can only be reached by fantasy transport procedures involving fantasy beings, which is not surprising because this story is a fantasy whose author seeks to follow in the footsteps of two great fantasy authors:  Michael Ende and C. S. Lewis.  These are worthy mentors, and I believe that Richard Garcia Morgan has shown that he has learned from them in this, his debut novel.
