Review:
Hidden Realm by T.R. Slauf is a dark (emphasis on ‘dark’) fantasy novel. It is quite ambituous and very intriguing. The plot line is engaging and unique, which made this a good read for me.
The world building is the best part. The other Realm where main character, Esther, must is really well written. It was easy to visualize where we were.
This novel I’d dark and gritty, with some themes that may be difficult for some to read. It is a quick paced read with interesting characters.
There were some things left unresolved, but I’d imagine that was done purposefully since this is only book one.
Overall, if dark fantasy is your jam, I think Hidden Realm is a solid read.

Author Bio
I have always been torn between two halves of myself; one half revels in all things scientific and longs to explore the secrets of the universe, while the other half finds solace and excitement within the arts. After much debate, I started my career path in STEM; after I graduated college and started working full-time, I soon discovered this was not a good fit for me. I began interviewing for other jobs and exploring my creative hobbies again when my congenital heart condition required me to have another open-heart surgery. In the months before my operation, I became determined to finish my first novel (I had started and abandoned several over the years) and eventually I was able to begin a new path as a novelist.
Now I am happily living in the city of Cincinnati with my spouse and am proud to share my novels with you! I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life. I am eager to hear your thoughts, please leave reviews, follow me on Instagram, or contact me directly. I look forward to sharing many more stories with you in the future.
