5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this short read as a "warm up" to volume I
By P. HimmelmannI was given "Born to Magic: Tales of Nevaeh: Volume 1" free to review. Before I review a book, I always check the author's webpage or Amazon page to see what else they have written or if there is a related book. I found "Prelude to Nevaeh (Tales of Nevaeh) and decided to read this first. I enjoyed this short read as a "warm up" to volume 1. There was a back story to how Roth got to Nevaeh and an explanation as to the knowledge he had. It was very intriguing and made me want to read volume 1 even more. I would recommend this book as a stand-alone or as the prelude it was written to be.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning to a great story

Having already read book 1, I was familiar with both the series premise and the main characters. Prelude to Nevaeh reads like an extended introduction to the main character, Solomon Roth, and his 3,000 year-long journey to the world of Nevaeh. The only thing not to like about it was its short length, as I would have loved a novel-sized book with the tale of how Roth united Nevaeh under his Dominion. Hopefully, some day Wind will share this story as well.
All in all, a great beginning to a great story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Prelude to understanding and enjoyment.

Read this one first ! You will be glad you did.
I rarely have had the opportunity to read the prequel before reading the book or series. This was a treat and is making my enjoyment and understanding of the first book in the series multiply tenfold .
The author has a style of writing that paints pictures in my mind. I see the characters and what they see as if on a TV screen. There are few authors today about whom I can say this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Prelude and Backstory for Born to Magic - As awesome as expected!
By Mark LaughingBear
So glad this was published after Born to Magic! Loved the backstory but reading it first would have lessened the impact of BtM. I could easily see myself in the shoes of Enaid's father! Great characters!

Excellent taste of what led to Born to Magic. It gave just enough and left it open for more all at the same time. I look forward to the rest of the trilogy.
