Phenomenal. I’m a slow reader and couldn’t put this down. Very informative if you didn’t read the original wizard of oz. I loved the characters. The details I felt like I was in there with them. Can’t wait for more!

I went into this wizard of Oz book without having read the wonderful wizard of Oz or having seen the movie and I can say this had no impact on my enjoyment of the overall plot. It was fun, well paced and full of interesting characters that paid respect to what I know of the original without feeling like a copy. This book has made me more likely to check out the original, good job Dan, I eagerly await the pulsing edition

As someone who has not read any sort of romantasy or any type of cozy fantasy. This story paints a beautiful picture of the world of OZ that I didn’t know existed. I never knew about all the places of oz or the other people of the lands. But when you open this book you are swept away (pun intended) to another world where the fmc has to discover what her grandmother had told her about her whole life. The magic, the characters, the descriptive writing paints a magical world in your mind that you will not want to leave. For being a first debut author and story. You cannot tell at any point. This is fantastic literature and a story that you read and wouldn’t know wasn’t written by a veteran author. I cannot wait to dive back into this world when/if we are ever lucky enough to get a second book.

You know the story, you've seen it play out. Dorothy went to Oz, defeated the witch, met the wizard, and returned to Kansas. In our minds the story came to an end and everyone lived happily ever after...but what if that isn't what happened when the last word was read and the picture faded to black. Galeborn beings us back to Oz and it tells us that Dorothy's part of the story was only the first act, because when she left something old and forgotten awoke spreading darkness throughout Oz as it waited for Dorothy's grandaughter Eliza to return and discover who she really is and what magic she holds inside herself. With her first steady companion Kaelis, who loves her despite not knowing who she really is or whay role she will play in his world, Eliza sets out on a journey through the magical land of Oz, that is even more fantastic than we remeber, to learn the truth about herself even knowing the truth might be hard to know. If you love a fantasy that pulls you into a world of wonders with characters that you steal your heart this book is for you.

Very well written! I enjoyed the great detail put into this book. The descriptions were impeccable and it brought me right into the story. The story telling started off strong, drawing me in. The last 50 pages were a perfect way to end the book and the epilogue left me wanting more. This is not my typical genre and probably not the book I would pick up normally, but I do love Wizard of Oz and had to give it a shot. What a great debut book. Fans of Oz and classical literature should pick this up for sure!

GALEBORN (The Gale Legacy Book 1)by Dan Filion (Goodreads Author)ReadI LOVED this book, I annotated to the hilt, lol Dan got me from the first paragraph, it's creative, I loved the characters and the world of Oz thru his lense. I am very excited to see where this series goes!
