Seeking the Veil Part 1 A Hammerblood Story A Young Adult Medieval Fantasy Adventure eBook Clifton Hill
It’s always hard to review short stories. This one came in at a mere 60 pages, and as with most sort stories I read I just didn’t connect. It was not bad at all, just didn’t pull me in enough. I know this is a prequel and there’s a bigger story out there. Sorry to say, but this review will be rather short. Don’t want to give anything away and I don’t have a lot of material to review.This story follows Hestea as he embarks on a mission to find purpose and fight against an enemy.
Honestly it’s a little shaky. It felt rushed for a prequel. I would have thought this would be the time to explain the world and the enemy, the magic and the history of the band of mercenaries he meets up with, but I didn’t get much on that front. I’d also expect a lot of character building, but I sadly felt a tad cheated there as well. I didn’t want a huge back story, and as a matter of fact the little hints we were given on Hestea’s past was all that remotely piqued my interest in the main series
So as far as world building goes, this lacked the depth many would seek. Even for a person like myself who doesn’t care much for detailed worlds found this sparse.
As for the characters, Hestea seemed like a boy, which he was, and had his pouting phases as the young often do. He trains with other warriors in the mercenary band as they march toward the enemy. Then boom! We have a fight and discover something very interesting about Hestea. Then the story is over. The other characters are touched upon, but not personally enough for me to become invested.
There were parts of the story I enjoyed more than others, and I think I would’ve liked it if Hestea was older, acting more adult than he did. I don’t have children, and I have zero patience for huffing and puffing teens. However, when the battle came, I felt Hill did an amazing job showing how shocking battle can be for one who’s never seen it.
So my recommendation is to pick up the first book the main series. I honestly don’t think this prequel will be vital in understanding what will transpire in future books. I wish I would have just started the series. I might have found it more entertaining. As it is, I’ve added it to my to-read list because I am a tad curious about Hestea’s past and power. Seems like there’s a good story to come. I should mention that the prequel is part of a three story prequel, and the other two might very well be worth checking out before starting the main series.

Seeking the Veil Part 1 A Hammerblood Story A Young Adult Medieval Fantasy Adventure eBook Clifton Hill Reviews
Seeking the Veil is a great introductory read for those new to Clifton Hill's writing. Hill paints a very vivid medieval style world, with miniscule details befitting a Martin or Tolkien.
It follows protagonist Hestea during his formative years attempting to become a warrior. He tries and is humiliated but eventually makes progress. The Magi were also a nice touch for the story.
Readers who enjoy a fantasy for its fantasy merits will enjoy the fighting. If you are a reader has researched medieval weaponry and tactics (which most readers probably haven't) you may have a problem with the main character using a Warhammer in all circumstances. it's the problem I had with Robert Baratheon in GOT - a Warhammer is a very specialized weapon used in the late medieval period to crush full plate armor. BUT, I digress!
Fans of fantasy should give this classic-style fantasy tale a try!
Summary Hestea wants to fight, but he's not given the chance for a long time.
Random Comments/Ratings
- Writing style (4/5 stars) - easy to follow, descriptions are vivid and bloody where necessary
- Dialogue (4/5 stars) - interesting, natural flow for the most part; there are some places where the accents seemed thicker than others.
- World building (3/5 stars) - It's an okay start, but there are a lot of terms and places that are unfamiliar that aren't really explained in part one. We're not even sure what they're fighting for and why. The bad guys have a name, several in fact, but they have no history that's known to the reader.
- Characters (4/5 stars) - Hestea's fairly well developed but everybody else is pretty flat.
Conclusion I think it will turn into an epic tale once completed, but Part 1 just isn't really enough. It's like a very long prologue with nothing else behind it.
*I received a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion. * (But I think it's free now anyway as of this writing.)
