Novel Review: Morium

Not sure if any of you have seen the Morium novel on Amazon, but if you take a look at the reviews, it is rocking all the readers. Since I am not one for giving in to trends, I had to read for myself. Could this novel possibly be THAT great as a debut novel from a breakout author? Usually I never go off of previous reviews, because hey, I'm my own person. I need to read it first hand to know, truly, if I enjoy it. 

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that you should give in to all the hype about this book! Not only was it smart, but it was also thrilling. The characters were formed perfectly, and realistically. That is always a HUGE point for me to make; the main protagonists could be real people that are seen walking on the street. Plus there is always the bonus that they aren't typical heroes. That gets me everytime. But I digress to the key fact of this point: it is a great book.


Since I hate spoilers just as much as the next person, I feel that leaving it up to the reader, or other reviewer, to give away the entire plot is their choice. Personally I want you guys to read this review then drop EVERYTHING, and read this book. Don't like science fiction/fantasy*? Really, that shouldn't be a problem because the writing and story line can appeal to literally all types of readers. And maybe because my searching skills aren't the best, but I can't seem to find the specific genre that it is listed under but I can assure everyone that young adults, and grown adults will enjoy the story equally. The characters relate more to a young audience when dealing with uncontrollable emotions and relentless bullying. However there are adult themes like overcoming deep dark desires and the constant tearing apart of friendships. Basically on every emotional scale, you'll feel this novel.


What about the author, you ask?

Good question. I've had communications with the author myself and I can tell that he is quite down to Earth and very creative. Also he's got a sense of humor :) All great aspects to have in an author. But since I can't thoroughly describe him to you, I'll let his Amazon bio do all the talking. 

"S.J. Hermann currently resides in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, Il. When he is not thinking of stories to write, you can find him in front of a blank canvas or paper. He recently self published his debut novel titled 'Morium' on Amazon. Always thinking of things to write about as long as they involve supernatural, paranormal (no romance), science fiction, and horror. Currently working on book two in the Morium trilogy with another novel in the plot development stage.
Avid The Walking Dead, and as of now, Z Nation fan (You guessed it, he enjoys anything to do with zombies). 
Also a avid rollercoaster fan who has ridden over forty different coasters throughout his life. His favorite genres to read are paranormal, supernatural, science fiction, and horror. Max Brooks, and Stephen King are his authors of choice."


Sounds like the perfect guy, right? Well the Writer's Block blog would love to issue gratitude to S.J. Hermann, who also did an interview on myself on his own blog. At the bottom of the page, I shall link in all his own personal profiles, and his blog has also been listed under "Favorite Sites" widget. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming novel, Book 2 of Morium trilogy! Yes, there's more! You'll find out what happens to secretive Nathan and driven Alexandria. S.J. Hermann has created the perfect set of novels for any person to receive as a Xmas gift from Santa! A person you love will continuously thank you for the gift of Morium.
