Great review of The Dark Season on Fiction Addiction

http://www.thefictionaddiction.com/the-dark-season-saga-the-final-harvest/

Quote:
"The Dark Season Saga: The Final Harvest by  Yehya H. Safwat tells a wide-ranging, epic story of the struggle for the fantasy world Talor, and of Nymtha, who’s thrown into the heart of this war.
The battle for Talor is suspenseful and engaging. Sometimes I really did worry about the world’s future, instead of just assuming the good guys would win and evil would be vanquished. There’s something about the heightened language in this novel that keeps readers wondering if it might just be a dramatic tragedy instead.
Like any fantasy novel, there’s a stunning amount of new vocabulary. The author has invented all kinds of new personal names, cities, countries, tribes and orders, holidays and festivals, and so forth. The sheer number of fantasy proper nouns can be a little confusing to readers, especially keeping track of which groups are allied (Temporarily? Long term?), and which factions are against each other in this sweeping epic.
I liked the worldbuilding, and found the use of unique holidays and customs particularly well done. But I still found myself having to flip back to check on who the Order of Eon is or what Talor’s Plea is. There’s a map at the front and an appendix in the back with the world’s history.
But stick with it for character growth and development. The character development is the strongest aspect of this novel. Sure, there’s an epic plot, but libraries (and Amazon) are filled with epic fantasy sagas. It’s the character development, especially for our protagonist Nymtha, that really stands out. Nymtha’s personal choices and personal growth that made this novel work for me. We don’t just see heroes being brave in the battles The Dark Season Saga: The Final Harvest, we’re moved by seeing one man’s actions and choices at the heart of this conflict"

The Dark Season reviews on Youtube and Amazon

Here are some of the reviews on YouTube and Amazon:

"This book is an interesting twist of both fantasy and mystery genres intertwined in one book. It is a very good read and the ever-changing plots throughout the book kept me guessing what the end would be. Looking forward to the authors net book."

"An interesting and new style of fantasy. Great lore and the hidden plots are intriguing"

"I have not finished the whole novel yet, but up until now it gives LotR a run for its money. Worth mentioning the poems are great.
I finally got to finish the rest of it which was even better; the rhythm of the book kept increasing in a smooth manner. The cliffhanger towards the end is incredible. The last one hundred just flew by. I recommend this book to fantasy fans with a taste for mystery."
