Conclusion:
This first part of the Ryūjin Saga truly impressed me. It has everything a good fantasy novel needs. The sci-fi elements were minimal and didn’t bother me, although I personally prefer sticking to fantasy. I’m giving it a strong 4 out of 5 book hearts — leaving just a little room for the next book of the series.

Review of the German edition – English translation
A true Viking has shared his thoughts. Thank you so much, dear Ole-Angus Gunnarson!
Today, I’d like to introduce you to the fantasy novel The Magical Legacy of the Ryūjin by Stephan Lethaus.
The book tells the story of a humble stable boy named Rob and a systems analyst named Mi Lou, who are both swept into a fantastical adventure through tragic events.
The novel begins with the backstories of these two main characters, gently drawing the reader into the tale.
The author’s writing is fluid and easy to follow, making it a pleasant and enjoyable read. He skillfully builds tension throughout, ensuring the story never becomes dull.The protagonist is written in a very likeable way, making it easy for readers to root for him, suffer with him, and share in his triumphs.
The number of characters remains manageable and never confusing.
While the story idea isn’t entirely new and at times reminded me of other fantasy novels, it is executed beautifully.
The author’s detailed descriptions make the plot feel convincing and immersive.The ending remains shrouded in mystery for a long time, even though some plot developments can be anticipated.
Only late in the book do the individual puzzle pieces come together to form a complete picture.All in all, this is a wonderful fantasy novel that leaves you eager for the sequel.
I give the book 4 out of 5 stars.About The Book Maiden: The Viking’s Book Chest [Review]
