| Publisher Description: The true history of humans has been denied them, that's about to change. The concealed influence of the beings of Noiznemid, the Wees, has been ongoing. A new leader will be revealed soon, his name is Aric. Aric masterly guides the humans into new concepts, one where people have true freedom of thought and will. Another untainted by narrowness as devout pious teachings, have previously been revealed. Since he realizes blind faith only leads to blindness and education leads to not only an understanding, but an inner-standing.------------------------------Reviewed by Foluso Falaye. Rated 5 StarsThe world and the plot in Noiznemid were such a joy to discover that I did not want to miss anything I would go back to reread some things I felt I missed because every detail of the rich culture of the Noiznemid beings-that includes the giddy dancing, festivities, and grand feats-was vividly described and brought to life. T. Wrage includes some profound messages in the narrative; one of the goals of the characters is to reduce the ever-growing narcissism enhanced by technology and encourage empathy in humans. It was easy to understand the gist of the story as the plotdriven narrative is clearly projected. Themes of Christianity and religion (though hinted at) exist in the narrative, but the characters push for a new religion. Readers who enjoy dark fantasy mixed with humor, satire, and upbeatness would love Noiznemid-----------------Reviewed by Vincent Dublado. Rated 4 stars out of 5T. Wrage has created a different world that you have yet to learn more about, but the village of Noiznemid, which is also his book's title, is teeming with geographical specifications as if it really exists. There is a religious and philosophical allegory present in Noiznemid.The stories contain magic reminiscent of some biblical tales. Aric experiences prophetic dreams much like Joseph in the Book of Genesis. T. Wrage may tag his novel as a fantasy epic, but the events in the story, fantastical as they may sound, have a very earthly scale. The fascinating concept here is that conflict does not stem from power-hungry wizards, corrupted kings, or ravenous dragons. It stems from the hurdles that you encounter in seeking enlightenment, and for a fantasy novel, that sounds dopey and profound at the same time. This is a story that stands on a border between the religious and the philosophical. It bears its charm with equal measure and is confident in the message that it conveys.Give it a chance, and it may well grow on you-------- |
