Eye of the Nagual Naguals Book 1 edition by P E Pence Tori Pence Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
In the introduction section of the novel, we get a feel for what exactly a Nagual is as well as some of the intricacies of Mexican/Mesoamerican culture and religious belief. It helps to set up the beginning of the novel, and allows its readers to become slightly familiar with what is next to come.
As for the first chapter, already we are off to a suspenseful and emotional start! The novel begins on December 21st, 2012... The day that the Mayans believed the world would end. We are introduced to the setting of an archaeological dig, and experience the first of (possibly) the world-ending natural disasters; a devastating earthquake. Already, P.E. Pence has interwoven history with exciting fiction, and I am stoked to continue the story. What will happen with the twins?
In general, this novel is unique and entertaining. P.E. Pence bolsters his novel with snippets of Mexican history as well as scraps of the Spanish language thrown in for good measure. Both enrich the story, lending a cultural appeal that allows the fictional side to take off into new heights.
The novel plays out several different point of views, the main being the journey of Patch and Yacey. However, others linked to this main story line are depicted in chapters 2, 4, 5, and 8. Though I enjoy getting a fuller picture of the story, these chapters serve (to me) only to confuse and disorient. There is not enough information in any of them separately, nor in them when put all together, to warrant having their own plot lines and new characters. The entire rest of the novel deals with Patch and Yacey's lives, and that is arguably where my emotions lie. I do not care for the other random characters or their lives, as I do not exactly know how they fit into the novel as a whole. Perhaps this will become clearer further into the series.
The Nagual side of the novel itself is intriguing, and I wish that it had delved deeper into this. In fact, the novel did not even begin talking about Naguals until 52% into the book. And then once the natives were involved and began teaching about Naguals, the training seemed rushed and glossed over. I love this idea of gaining powers and transforming into a certain animal, and I wish that the descriptions and events had been more detailed. I want more! I am hoping that the following books will dive more into this Nagualism.
Some technical issues that lowered my rating for this novel were minor grammatical errors as well as awkward dialogue. When the characters were speaking with each other, I did not feel a connection between them... Which invariably affected my own relationship with the characters. The dialogue thus tended to push me out of the story, leaving me feeling detached and slightly apathetic to their plights. I also personally do not care for the back cover/ blurb, because it gives the entire novel away. I would even go so far as to recommend not reading the last paragraph of the blurb, so as to allow some surprises to remain within reading.
I am waiting for the next book. It caught my imagination and I could see the characters come to life.
P.E. Pence has come up with an ingenious plot with enough action and supernatural twists to keep the reader turning those pages. Imagine transforming into your totem animal and being able to inhabit their world, galloping with the herd or flying above the mountains with your eagle nagual. We get to see this through the eyes of fifteen-year-old twins as the boys learn about their supernatural powers from the native shamans and fight off paramilitary thugs at their parents' archeological dig site. All the characters are strongly depicted and Pence's easy writing style and use of dialog will engage readers of all ages. Warning cliffhanger ending - you'll want to get the next book in the series immediately!
This was a fiction but written with so much real information about the past and the real location that it stands out as an excellent book for reading pleasure.
I love this book! I was told personally by P.E. Pence that I would be doing the book trailer, and I might be playing as patch or yacey in one of their theater plays!
Also, my geography teacher caught me reading this book in school, and he read a section of the book. He loved it!
