“Karina is a prolific writer and has had 8 books published in various genres. It was her love of Tolkien and Pullman that Karina wrote her romantic fantasy, Illusional Reality, which has turned out to be her bestseller. Readers have taken Thya and Alkazar into their hearts.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Karina: The only film that grabbed my attention and held me there with an open mouth, was the amazing Lord of the Rings Trilogy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They said that whoever took that 3-book fantasy on, had to be crazy. Peter Jackson wasn’t crazy, but he was a hobbit in his heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
His vision and attention to detail just made this magical film pop. It was after watching the first film, Fellowship of the Ring, that the story of Becky and her magical adventure took place in mind, heart, and soul.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
By the time the 1hr journey from the cinema had ended I had the names, plot, conflicts, storyline, everything written in my head, and then, as most writers know, once you’re in the “zone” there is no stopping you. By the time the second film, Two Towers, book two concluded, The Quest was again plotted in my mind and it didn’t take long to get the first draft on paper. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\u201cThe Quest by Karina Kantas is the sequel to her book Illusional Reality. Becky is once again pulled from England back to the world of Tsinia where she is The Princess. Thya is Becky\u2019s name in this astonishing fantasy world. Thya is the only one who can save her people and their land. They have been forced to leave their magical land and live in caves to survive. The world along with the characters are fleshed out even more with the addition of more monsters and characters and magic. You travel with Thya and a couple others through trials and tribulations which are expertly created to make their Quest either successful or a failure. Her magic becomes even stronger but alas there is a dark side to it that she has trouble controlling. This is a definite page turner. You will become completely invested in Thya and her companions surviving and making it back to Tsinia. The action is nonstop as Thya and her companions run into many intriguing problems. I loved both books. If you like fantasy worlds that take you away these are just the books you need.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
