Fantasy master Rod Espinosa weaves an action-packed story of a small-town girl and her friends who want to make it big as renowned fighters! Clariette: part Barbie, part Xena, and all heart, out to make the world a better place. Ariarra: Pragmatic wandering cleric and healer, fiercely independent.
“There’s a sense of history that gives Adventure Finders a weight that others in the fantasy genre lack. The history unfolds in a world that is rich in context. I understood that context and enjoyed the how the author, Rod Espinosa, presented the world and its history.
As for the characters, they’re well defined and an enjoyable take on standard fantasy tropes” – Jamil
