For fifteen-thousand years, the elves have battled the hippocamp races to protect their homeland. Though it has been this way for untold ages, war will always touch some more than others.
Socair has dedicated her life to being a warrior. She is a pillar of strength and justice, but those around her do not always share her purity of motivation.
Óraithe has never led a gifted life and neither would she wish for one. The highborn elves of the desert have made her life miserable and she can think of no better way to repay them but in kind.
Rianaire is the carefree ruler of the mountain elves of the north. While her rule has given the elves of Spéirbaile an age of prosperity, not all among her court appreciate the way she has moved from the values of the past.
Aile is a Drow who loves coin and secrets. Far too pragmatic to be called a hedonist, she goes where the trail of coin leads and does what is asked, no matter the cost to those upon whom her blades are turned.
Each of them will find that war does not just occur on the fields of battle. Each of them will be touched by the cost of their own war, some more than others.
No One Chosen The Siúil Book 1 eBook Randall P Fitzgerald
I found this book quite hard to get into, and I even had trouble telling the characters apart in the beginning. Do not let this deter you if it happens to you. By ~10% into this book I was completely engrossed. I am an avid reader and rarely have I felt so revolted and repulsed by a certain character (starting with A). The storytelling and character development becomes extremely compelling. The story is visceral and violent, and yet incredibly moving.Perhaps the horde/hippocamps could've been more thoroughly explained within the text. However, the author shows a huge amount of finesse for what looks to be the first stage of their career.
I feel as though in several years time I will see Fitzgerald on a bestselling list. If you are a fan of high fantasy, I would highly recommend this book to you. 5/5

No One Chosen The Siúil Book 1 eBook Randall P Fitzgerald Reviews
This is the second book by Randall P. Fitzgerald that I've read. Altogether different from Cyberpunk Trashcan - in a wonderful way.
No One's Chosen follows the story of four elven women living in a time of ongoing war. Each of the four main characters is from a different walk of life and Fitzgerald does a wonderful job of exploring their roles and responses to the chaos around them. From the ruler who responds to a threat of being overthrown, to an assassin for hire who must respond swiftly after being double crossed, the story is interesting and engaging from the first page to the last.
This high fantasy novel is a slow burn at the start, but by the midway point I couldn't put it down. No One's Chosen is the first book of a series and I look forward to visiting this world of elves, politics and war heroes again soon.
No One's Chosen is about the lives of four women in completely different walks of life, from chapter to chapter we a cast into a whole knew world as see the world through this new set of eyes. It was very easy to fall in love with our Heroines, well three of them at least for me. I was not sure how well this was going to work with so many point of view changes by Fitzgerald did a wonderful job. For the first paragraph of each chapter I was trying to keep track of who this was again, but the author was quick to add in a reference that could be linked to only one of our ladies.
I actually enjoyed watching as the ladies slowly marched forward and their lives began to intermingle with the next. What I think worked well was that each of the women were totally different, in their titles to how they were raised, but also the way that that see the world and the goals they hope to achieve. They are four individuals, clearly defined. I am looking forwards to continuing The Siuil series.
I received this novel through Story Cartel in exchange for an unbiased review.
I bought this (and other books) from Mr Fitzgerald at a convention in August 2016. I purchased the books on a whim thinking I'd help out a local author and I was intrigued by the descriptions. I'm extremely glad I did. Once I started reading, I had a difficult time putting his books down.
No One's Chosen is really four stories intertwined into one excellent novel. All four take place in the same world and rarely cross paths. However, Mr Fitzgerald expertly conveys the consequences of the actions of one party to the remaining 3 groups. All four have very distinct personalities and Mr Fitzgerald keeps each one believable...annoyingly so at times.
Socair is the first character we're introduced to. My first thought was she was the typical cliché fantasy heroine. Rising through the ranks through talent and an almost supernatural ability to pull herself out of the fire. Not overly unique or impressive by itself and not a big pull for me to dig into the novel. However, she eventually distinguishes herself from a typical fantasy heroine. The choices she is forced to make and the tenacity of her conviction, despite the consequences that are apparent pulled me into the story and made her an enjoyable character.
Óraithe is the next character we meet and I almost immediately disliked her. Kudos to Mr Fitzgerald for writing her so well as to make me want to strangle her. Young and idealistic, but annoyingly naive. Óraithe quickly learns that all actions have consequences and not always ones we expect or choose. She gets some hard lessons along the way and it's not until her last section, or my reflection after reading, that I decided I really liked her.
Rianaire is next and I immediately fell in love with her. In short, she's the perverted best friend I wish I had. Changing the status quo is never an easy thing and she is forced to live up to her responsibilities whether she wants to or not. She gets a rude awakening as to how far people will go to preserve their own self interests, but manages to rise above her challenges and still keep those qualities I liked best about her.
Aile is last but in no way least. Where Socair is the heroine, Aile is the anti-heroine but in no way a cliché. She is truly out for herself and will go to ANY lengths to achieve her goals. While her actions are definitely questionable, I'd stop just short of saying she's evil. Aile is an incredibly strong character to round out the book and probably my second favorite in the novel.
I highly recommend No One's Chosen and I will be reading this one again, likely multiple times. I feel I've done Mr Fitzgerald a disservice by waiting so long after reading to review this novel (due entirely to my own laziness). My apologies.
Well written and vivid characters with a plot that isn't muddled with extra useless details. Found myself having conversations with the characters wanting to warn them of what was coming or just enjoy their company.
I started this quite a while ago, then put it down to start another fairly dense fantasy series. Regrets, I have a few. Do yourself a favor if you like good, solid fantasy and check this out.
While it does show that the writer is in the early stages of his career, it is still a wonderful piece of work.
If you are Queasy of the stomach at some forms of violence this might not be the book for you.
While some of the characters start off a bit cliché it has a great character development.
Pick it up, if you're a avid fan of the fantasy genre i believe you would enjoy this book.
I found this book quite hard to get into, and I even had trouble telling the characters apart in the beginning. Do not let this deter you if it happens to you. By ~10% into this book I was completely engrossed. I am an avid reader and rarely have I felt so revolted and repulsed by a certain character (starting with A). The storytelling and character development becomes extremely compelling. The story is visceral and violent, and yet incredibly moving.
Perhaps the horde/hippocamps could've been more thoroughly explained within the text. However, the author shows a huge amount of finesse for what looks to be the first stage of their career.
I feel as though in several years time I will see Fitzgerald on a bestselling list. If you are a fan of high fantasy, I would highly recommend this book to you. 5/5
