This was one of the most unique books I've read in a long time; in style if not always in content. As I read it, I definitely came to the conclusion I was reading some European author, as the style was so different from anything I had read in a long time (he's not :) ). The story is being told to the reader by a unknown, non-human source, speaking to us in this age of our own history and the lost continent of Atlantis. Often, the story's POV is a bird or a tree, or some minor character, sometimes never to be seen again. The book starts, unabashedly, with the fall of the ruling class of Atlantis, the Kai, and abruptly shifts gears to a village on another, less technologically advanced continent (Europe? Africa?). The book has some strong Star Wars overtones; the more spiritual, less advanced civilization menaced by an overwhelming dark force (Empire vs everyone else); the competing martial arts of the Ki and Kai (Jedi and Sith?); a young man of prophesy who could be savior or tyrant (Luke). There is also, seemingly, a commentary on Eastern and Western philosophy. What I found so unique was the author's patience in moving the story along. The book moves at a snail's pace throughout almost all of the book, sandwiched by two periods of insane, confusing action. Where I would have expected a montage or break to allow for months or years of training and experience to pass by, the book plods along in a very realistic way. People do not change with the turn of a page, and wisdom and knowledge are not gained by the start of the next chapter. Instead, we have stubborn, flawed protagonists, who could just as easily become antagonists in the next book. Any changes in the characters occur, for the most part, so imperceptibly, while we are so close, that I could hardly see it. The same lesson is repeated over and over again, as most lessons must be in reality, but is rarely seen in books. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, as we tend to use books to escape the tedium of our lives for something more fantastic. Yet, the author certainly kept me guessing enough that I don't trust myself to predict what will be in the next books, and I am looking forward to reading what happens next.Product details

Dark Legacy Book I Trinity Volume 1 Domenico Italo CompostoHart 9780985017729 Books Reviews
After reading Dark Legacy The End of the Kai I thought that was a prequel. Nah, it was just the first few chapters of Trinity. Which was disappointing because you lose the first 1/4 or so of the book that way.
Oh well. The end of the Kai was exciting and drama filled and then the entire Trinity felt like a very very long character development book for what assume is to be the main character. It was a huge teaching moment in Buddhism which caught me off guard since the timeline has you think that Atlantis eons ago perished but somehow the Buddhist religion was around kicking, and of course thrived another few thousand years later. I'm.. just not sure about how that timeline meshes since it wants to be some sort of story-driven continuation of today (our today.. the book is phrased as some ancient old woman's story to a modern someone..).
Ok though, I digress. The characters they portray are pretty good. Some stereotypes make you cringe since they seem to be driven from classic masculine, feminine, brother v brother, rival v rival, father v son, type of archetypes but you can get your head around the characters driving factors. You have in fact the entire book for them to be repeated to you over and over.
Then the end, the last 40 pages or so, are the most exciting and intense and then.. scene.. so this was published in 2011, where is book 2? Usually, I don't read series until they are done because my brain can't keep up with characters over years. I hope Domenico is going to release book 2 soon or else like the Thinking Tree, my thoughts may join the sea.. ;)
Read this with a highlighter, lots of great Buddhist ideals gone through that you'll take to heart. Not sure if you should read it for the arc yet, book 2 must be born!
I saw the link to this book on another authors page. As I am always looking for new material to read in this genre I thought I would check it out.. I was not disappointed! At first I thought it would be hard to follw, being very long and full of lots of characters and history, but as I started reading, I found it easier to follow and became engrossed in the story of Kieko. The Japanese influence was quite interesting and enjoyable. Overall a good book...looking forward to the next one in the series
Dark Legacy is a sweeping blend of epic fantasy and science fiction is written in a 'high fantasy' style. It begins with the destruction of the Kai Order, and the society they are tasked to defend, by the evil Maniok and his devastating armies. The mix of magic and technology by the author is compelling and effective as he describes in chilling detail the final stand of the Atlantean forces against their ambitious and ruthless foes.
In a faraway land, the son of the last Kai guardian is growing to manhood among a people who despise and abuse him because of his mixed-blood heritage. Here, the tale turns into a coming of age story as Kieko embraces the way of a Ki warrior and the mentorship of a warrior priest. He must learn to accept his past and seize control of his future, a destiny that has the potential for darkness and evil should Kieko fail to grasp the knowledge that his Shinsei attempts to impart.
The author has succeeded in building a rich and detailed world with distinct cultures, where the characters act in accordance with their personas and within the wider societies they populate. They are presented with great detail and consistency, while they also grow and develop as the story progresses.
Whether you are a fan of fantasy or science fiction--or even if you've never read genre fiction before--you will not be disappointed by Dark Legacy Book 1 -- Trinity.
