Novel by Kendra Namednil
Borehole Bazaar can be described in terms of its overall plot or in terms of its themes. Thematically, the story chronicles an individual who is placed in an abusive environment and is unable to leave and who is unable to create safety for himself through violence. In terms of plot, a bugbear mercenary brings a smattering of elves, humans and hybrids of the two back to his den for the cubs to play with and potentially eat. Those who survive become pets. Those who do not are delicious.
Because of the nature of the content, it is necessary to forewarn readers that it is, in fact, a very dark story. It is inspired by some personal experiences, as well as experiences shared by close friends and coworkers. This means that some scenes are quite upsetting, even if they are beautifully and accurately described. Also, as this is a tale of abuse, there is a kind of cyclical nature to events.
Dark though our protagonist, Ptielieren (pronounced t̬ɑɪ el ɑɪ eəʳ ɪn)’s adventures are, he does find moments to smile and let down his guard. The tale in its entirety is beautiful, and no beta reader has been unmoved.
I’m recommending another book I feel that is worth checking out.
About unholypursuit
A. White, an award winning former librarian, who is also a long time member of Romantic Time and Publisher's Weekly. A. White has been writing for over fifteen years. She took classes in creative writing in college, specializing in ancient myths and legends. and later at a local community center while living in Chicago. In college she won the national contest to verbally list every country in the world, it's capital and ingenious language. Her works are mainly horror, fantasy, extreme, and sci-fi as well as, as some may says, "the truly strange predicament and puzzling." Books that I've written are "Clash with the Immortals, and eleven others which are part of the "Unholy Pursuit saga,". She has been working on the Chronicles since 2007. She wished to complete them all before introducing them to public so the readers wouldn't have to for the continuation to be written.
The ideas of the book come from classic literature such as whose work greatly influence the world world such as Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Euripides, Socrates, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Plato, Aristotle and many more. The "Book of Enoch" influenced the usage of Azazael as a main character and love interest. I created the primary main character from the Chronicle of Saints. I wanted to show them as real flesh and blood with thoughts, desires and yearning as any human. Not as they are so often depicted. So I created one of my own to show her as a real human that everyone can relate to.

I read the novel at your recommendation. The writing is good and strong. Imagery great. The book would have probably been epic if the language had matched the topics. The author needed to have added more aggressive language. No one or beings capable of such great evil and cruelty are using clean language. It is written as if it’s written for young children although its about some very serious issues. The brutality scenes are just far too long.
If you are going to write brutal scenes add something in between. The licks, kicks, cuts, rapes, disembowelment, and just plain mean and nasty things. This book is nothing but a long series of brutality. I think even the bugbears did something else some of the time.
The names of the characters are far too long. One characters name had over thirty seven letters. That’s far too long to rememember. The brutality part did not bother me. It was the 50-70 pages describing it.
They needed to have moved forward with the story, write the characters moving ahead. They were stuck in one mode, brutality, and that was killing the story. The excess brutality was unbelievable. One wouldn’t have any slaves to beat or eat if they kept up this kind of constant brutality for this long. According to the myth elves are immortals and are far more powerful than gnomes, so unless these bugbears know some other magic other than the jinxed collar thngy there is no way they could contain an elf. Elves are children of Lughiel and Mauve who are both warriors. I know people do not research mythology before writing fantasy but it would be nice if they did.
Brutality scenes are just too longggg. If you know this author please help them out in learning when to end a scene and move on to something else. They have a good subject but needs to know how to present it. Their description is great. Their writing is tight but they just stay on one subject with no interval for too long.
