Sovereign’s Pairing

Sovereign’s Pairing

“Yes, it looks like mud, but does it look ENOUGH like mud?” (And the blurb’s pretty bad in its own right.)

ARGH! BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!

So just based on the cover, I’m going to guess that the book is about a giant Gwyneth Paltrow being sucked down into a whirlpool of quicksand.

*reads blurb* Okay, never mind. It’s a Tolkien ripoff. That’s exactly what I would have thought of when I saw the cover. And Nathan was right: it’s bad. I won’t spoil it all for anyone who wants to experience it in it’s full glory, but here’s a taste:

“Though there are uncountable universes, there is only one Nexus Universe. The progenitor universe from which all the others have originated from.”

“New author, E. L. Glenn, takes you on an intriguing journey through a reality that contains multiple, parallel universes. Though there are uncountable universes, there is only one Nexus Universe. The progenitor universe from which all the others have originated from.
Those within the Nexus Universe have the ‘ability’ to enter any of the others. The Nexus Universe has a problem though, a man named Hessler, who embodies the ‘Antithesis’ spirit, has made it his quest to conquer not only the Nexus Universe, but the other parallel universes as well. To achieve this, Hessler has been using an army comprised of men and orcs, numbering a million. Hessler must also attain the ‘Crystal Sword’, an incredible source of power.
The ‘Crystal Sword’ had been hidden in the caverns of one of the kingdoms of the dwarves. Protecting it are wizards, men, elves and the dwarves themselves. They cannot use the ‘Sword’, only one embodied with either the ‘Antithesis’ spirit, or the ‘Sovereign’ Spirit can, and the one embodied with the ‘Sovereign’ spirit, is in another universe. They must find him in the hope of stopping Hessler.
Mariah, a searcher in the caverns, has found the prophecy that will lead them to the universe that the ‘Sovereign’ is in. Taking it to the seekers, Mariah is informed that she must be the one to enter the ‘Sovereigns’ universe and bring him to them. There isn’t much time and they have no idea what the ‘Sovereign’ will be like, but he is their only hope. Hessler and his orc army, are almost upon them.”

This is why I drink.

Universes are big. Really big. I mean, you may think a million men and orcs are a lot, but that’s just peanuts to universes.

Is the ‘ability’ really an ability, or isn’t it? Is the ‘crystal sword’ really a crystal sword, or isn’t it?

‘The progenitor universe from which all the others have originated from’ is the sort of sentence of which I have a fear of.
