The Book of Deacon by Joseph R. Lallo Book Summary

The Book of Deacon is the first book of The Book of Deacon series by Joseph R. Lallo.

Myranda Celeste’s world has been built on a legacy of bloodshed. For more than a century, her homeland the Northern Alliance has fought the Kingdom of Tressor in what has come to be known as the Perpetual War. While her people look upon the conflict with reverence, Myranda’s hate for the war has made her an outcast.

When she finds a precious sword among the equipment of a fallen warrior, she believes her luck may have changed. Little does she imagine that the treasure will draw her into an adventure of wizards and warriors, soldiers and rebels, and beasts both noble and monstrous. The journey will teach her much about her potential, about the origins of the war, and about the threat her world truly faces.

Will Myranda unlock the secret of bringing peace once and for all, or will the world be lost to the Perpetual War?

Great read. Loved this! Can’t wait to read the next one.

It’s ok .... sorta. But not great. If it’s just a prequel to try and get you to by the rest of the trilogy ( which I guess now includes a fourth un-finished book) couldn’t it have been a lot shorter and left out all the tedious predictable stuff? And maybe the main characters shouldn’t do so much dumb irrational stuff and make bad decisions. And maybe fewer miracles to save the hero’s or maybe fewer miraculous unbelievabe performances by the heroes to save the day, but then turn right around and do something dumb to get themselves in trouble again? It’s an interesting premise for a story, but I probably won’t read anymore of the books, certainly not if I have to pay for them, from the library maybe?

Awesome. Great read I recommend this to everyone, but the editing was off! Still you should read it!!!

Marvelous!. I couldn't put this book down! It was an amazing world with such great storytelling skill! The author displays his own craft of words in this book to carry the reader through an adventure to remember. The magic in this book is wonderful and I would definitely recommend it to others!

Great read. Really enjoyed reading and look forward to more from this author

Not bad at all!. I commute several hours a day and go through books rather quickly, it's not often I find one that has me clawing at my iPad for more. The characters are believable and relatable, there is enough humor to balance out the seriousness of the main character's situation. All in all an excellent read!

Amazing. This book was endlessly fascinating as Myranda lives only to survive and then finds a greater purpose. As well the enigma that is Leo/Lain. The only thing I did not like about the book was that it ended.

Outstanding!. Wonderful story! It takes a couple pages to get going but just gets better and better. I found myself done with the trilogy in no time at all while wanting more. I first read The Book of Deacon a couple years ago and gave reread it at least a dozen times since. The characters are unique and I can't wait to see them in another story, maybe even another trilogy. I tell all my fantasy loving friends to read this series and each one that has loved it as well. Definitely one of my favorite fantasy books and will be something I read to my kids.

Deacon. Great read. Couldn't put down.

The book of deacons. Thought the book was a great read, just purchased the second book!

Fabulous!. From the very first page this book is great. I could not put it down. Cannot wait to read the continuations and will be sad when the story comes to an end. It's that good!

The Book of Deacon. Did not want to put it down! Awesome!

Good read!. I was at the last page entirely to soon.

Fascinating. It starts rather slow and boring. Once you learn some of the characters, things begin moving quite rapidly and get more intriguing. By the end of Book One, you don’t want it to stop.

Action, suspense great characters. Great read! Good characters, well written. Highly recommend

The book of Deacon. Very good book I must say! Very slow starting but it picks up slightly fast like any beginner of a trilogy book. Some spelling errors that doesn't need a dictionary to figure out. At the end of this first book you will notice yourself become oddly attached to the characters in it. HOPE YOU ENJOY!!

Fun. Great characters in a very fun fantasy world. Guess I'll have to buy the next one now.

Loved it!!!!!. Thank you very much. I loved it.. I can not wait to read the next in your trilogy..

Awesome. This book was by far the best read I've had in a while. Ignore the people who rate bad, because there are no nagging errors, but there is a great plot and amazing depth. The only thing is, it may be too awesome for some people to handle.

So Amazing!!!. First of all, I liked the fact that it was free! The second book in the series may not be free, but I’m already excited to read it anyway!! This author has written a masterpiece! I was interested because of the description, extremely intrigued by the first paragraph, and in love by the 20th page!!! I highly recommend this book; it is one of the best I have ever read. Trust me. I have read a lot. I finished this book in about 3 days. GET THIS BOOK!!!!!! If you’re looking for a book for a project, or just for fun, this book will satisfy you!! Woah, though. Just... woah. 🤩 P.S: Be happy!!! The Lord is here!!!!!!! 😁🍥❤️🍓

The Book of Deacon. Very interesting story. I was enjoying reading a lot. Ended at a very bad place. I usually love sequels but this stopped at such a bad place I will not buy the sequel. You could have at least finished the book.

This is amazing!!!!!!. I could not put it down!!!! I got in trouble for reading too much while I was reading it!!

Great book for youngsters and grown-ups alike!. I found this to be good read. Definitely one that I'll be recommending to my nephew and his Mom.

Book of Deacon. Great reading

The Book of Deacon. I love this book. i just could not, COULD NOT stop reading it. I really suggest that you read this book. If you love to read and love dragons, magic and evil beings, then you should read this book.

Griping Tale. I found myself compelled to finish this first story. I felt an urgency to follow and see where the tale went in it's journey. Great characters, from irascible and somewhat immoral wizards to very tainted soldiers and politicians. I did find Myranda a little tedious at times. Even while I could agree with her anti war, anti killing attitude, she did become a little holier than thou at times. Overall I found it to be an interesting and good story.

Totally worth it. Loved the story & characters. There's nothing better than adventure & magic!

WOW. When i started reading this i had no idea that i would get so pulled into this that i couldnt stop rteading it. If there isn't more to this story which they didnt finish i am gonna be very sad.. oh wait there it is lol goto buy it NOW Sorry goto go read it laters

Sewhappy. This is the first book I've read that wasn't a romance, and WOW I'm hooked. Thank you for opening a new world to me.

Amazing. Great book one of my favorites

Awesome!. This story had me entranced from start to finish. The next two books of this tale are well worth it!!

Nice. This is dense, but well done. If you like your prose thick and detailed, you'll likely enjoy this.

Good read. Enjoyed this book kept my interest for the most part am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy this gets 4 stars from me

Resounding yes!. I truly enjoyed this book and I think you will too!

Exciting and captivating. What an exciting read! It is captivating and makes you want to keep on reading to keep up with the events as they unfold. The sentence structure is unique and refreshing. You are not burdened with long overbearing principles presented in a convoluted fashion. Rather, you read the sentiments and feeling in simple terms, making fiction/fantasy seem real! A must read for any Tolkien or terry brooks reader!

Unexpected hero. Heroine accidentally in the right place at the perfect time, or worst time, every time. Great twists, good plot and character development. Lots of content left for trilogy to work out but doesn't leave you confused. On the whole very enjoyable.

Fascinating Story. While the book has a really good plot, It's a bit slow here and there. Although at times it seems that there isn't a connection between things, some are cleared up as the dots are partially connected in the second half of the book. You do find you care about the heroine, and the characters she encounters are interestingly refreshing. You will find yourself being drawn into the book thoroughly by the last 1/3, and once finished, you will have to read the next book. So, I purchased the other 2 in the trilogy, and starting today will begin the next leg of Myranda's journey.

The Book of Deacon. Did not want to put the book down. For me it was very much like a " perfect recipe". Just the right amount of each ingredient to make a well told story and made me keep wanting to know what happens next. Job well done!

Highly recommended. What a wonderful story. The writer has you enthralled in his world from the very beginning. This book is very unique, unlike so many others of this genre. If you want to get lost in an unparalleled story of fantasy, than this is the book for you! (some grammatical errors but nothing that can't be overlooked) On to book 2!

Wow. Really good book. Must read

Absolutely wonderful!. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The characters are unique and have personalities that are described to a tee. I can't wait to read the next one!

The Book of Deacon. The story and writing are great. The editing is not. But this is true of all books. Have we lost the use of writing in good form? Simple grammar and use of the proper words would make reading on my device so much more enjoyable. Hope it happens some day. But I really did like this story.

A great read!. This book was not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised! I couldn't put it down and can't wait to start the next one!

Draws you in. Lallo’s mystical fantasy is convoluted and makes abrupt changes, but he ties up most of the loose ends eventually. And a cliffhanger ending, nooooooo!

Really goods. I have really enjoyed this book. Fantasy, action, and from a girls point of view one who was lost and wondering. My only small critic was it could be a bit long winded, but a very well thought out book. Looking forward to the next. Thank you for something different.

Odd pacing and writing. I like the story in general, but it is a strange book. Editing, pacing, even dialogue are odd. Almost as if the author is talented but young. Dialogue reminds me of a dubbed French anime. Girl wizard protagonist + pet dragon + kind man/fox companion screams anime fantasy hybrid written for teenage girls.

Loved it!. I thought this book was beautifully written. Yes there may have been some things that weren’t perfect but what I really care for is the story line. A few grammatical errors and spelling mistakes aren’t a big deal. It was a wonderful story with creative characters and I cannot wait to continue it!

awesome is an understatemant. absolutely amazing. i simply could not put this one down. the imagery and scenery of this story painted in my mind makes me wish id bought the second book of the trilogy well before i finshed the first. needless to say, this book is a truly satisfying and expertly written piece. sincerest thanks to the author for sharing his work and i greatly look forward to the next!

Stick with space opera. I know you love fantasy and that you hope for this to be a break through, but your editor(s) let you down. I made it half way through and couldn't get past another break in common sense. Stick with your space opera. Your ability to banter and create there is truly enjoyable. Can't wait to see what more you do there. Very rich, fun universe to help your readers explore.

Great book. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Highly Enjoyable. Excellent story

Easy-reading Fantasy. An enjoyable Sunday Afternoon read. I've read the whole series and thought it was a good read. The characters could have done with a bit more depth and development especially Trigorah. I definitely would (and have) recommend this series to others.

The Book of Deacon. So far so good! The story starts off a little slow, not really hinting at what is to come, the then pace picked up. My only gripe is that the General chasing Myranda isn't given much time in the book, I hope she gets more time in the next one. I had to buy the second book to find out what happens next...

AMAZING. One of the best books I've ever read, amazing story! Suitable for any age, but it's not exactly a children's book. The sequels are just as good, there's great plot twists! One of those books you just can't put down!!

Great book. Superb fantasy book, can't wait to read the next one. I've read a lot of fantasy books, especially some of the most well know ones and this book is up there with them.

The book of deacon. Brilliant, can’t wait to read what happens next. Great book, kept me wanting to read more every time I had to put it down! Loved it. Xx

The book of Deacon. Sometimes you come across a book you can't put down and when the last page comes you feel bereft. This is one of those. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

Mr.. Excellent book, definitely most entertaining reading. I recommend it highly. I have already bought the second and third books of the trilogy.

The book of Deacon. Lovely read,great characters and story Going straight into the second book Highly recommend this book Thank you to the author

TheBookOfDeacon. Absolutely loved reading this book..

FANTASIC. There is only one thing i hate about this book.... and that is having to put it down, truly amazing books, once I read the first I just had to get the others. Really draws you in fantastic ending with unpredictable twists highly recommended a must if you enjoyed the first book it only gets better

Fantastic. A great book, i have gladly purchased the sequal

Great read. As mentioned above

The Book of Deacon. Excellent story line could not put it down.

This book should be in print!. Excellent

All mouth and no trousers. A lot of effort into reading this to find...nil. Zilch. Nada. Nothing happens at the end.

Awsome book. This was a greatbook, and nice a long :)

Good read. Had me hooked from the first page. Excellent read. Brought the other 2 books as well.

Love this series!. I got the first book in the series and loved reading it. I just bought all three books in hard copy. Highly recommend to any lover of the fantasy genre.

The book of deacon. What an amazing read if you love adventure, sorcery, magic and an unbelievable storyline you will absolutley love this book, brilliant cannot fault it at all :)

The Book of Deacon Trilogy. I enjoyed the whole of this trilogy, and am content to have paid the small charge for books 2 & 3. Although there are a few editorial errors (such as mis-attributed dialogue), and the dialogue (and therefore some of the characters) can tend to lack depth, these niggles do not ruin what is a very good read. Definite recommendation.

Excellent start. Really enjoyed this book and can't wait to continue the trilogy !

Simply astounding. I have read hundreds of fantasy novels and I have to say this is one of the best

Loved the book’s. A delicious read, I do love a good fantasy novel. I read the 3 book series in a week and a day, could not put it down.

The Book of Deacon. I have just finished reading the first Book of Deacon and instead of chronicling the standard reviewer's statement, "I couldn't put it down", let me rather admit....I deprived myself of sleep to finish this book in one night. Just when I was searching for something different, something unique in the collection of fantasy, horror and sci fi genres, I found this gem of a series. Not since discovering Juliet Marillier, Anne Rice, Tolkien, George Martin or Stephen King, have I felt so engrossed in a story that I was going through the motions by fitting every day life in around a world created by someone with an incredible imagination. I thank the universe for the weekend as I head to the links to download the rest and settle in with a cup of tea for the night. Thank you for the gift of your books. PS The wee dragon is a gorgeous & feisty wee character, she makes me grin with her puppy dog antics, love it!

Great read. Well written book with an unpredictable plot. A rare find.

Book if deacon. Thankyou for your work. It was easy to become immersed in your world.

Book of Deacon. Well written. Very good read if you like fantasy genre. Good to read. Looking forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy.

The book of Deacon. This is a really gripping story that draws you in to the world of magic more and more as the story evolves - a fantastic read!

The book of deacon. Great read loading the rest of the books as I type

Book of Deacon. The Book of Deacon is an enjoyable, but predictable read. At times the action moved too quickly, leaving gaps in the development of the narrative. The language could be improved with more attention to grammar, especially the use of..."off of" which is grammatically incorrect. It is simply "off". For example, I took the book 'off' the shelf, not, I took the book "off of" the shelf. The plot is interesting and I am hoping that deeper development of character, especially General Bagu and Trigoran, occurs in books 2 and 3. The Book of Deacon is a good, enjoyable read, albeit, a little simplistic at times.

The Book Of Deacon. Its very entertaining. Fit for people who believes in Magics in fantasy world. Bravo!!

:). An excellently written fast paced story. Loved the characters!

Wonderful. I have not picked up a book in 8 years since I got my first computer. I'm totally hooked again an it's all because of the book of deacon. If u like fantasy, dragons an magic then u will love this book and even better it's a trilogy so the story does not end so soon. Plus the other two books are under $3 each which is a crime really given the quality of the storyline I'm sure they are worth much more. A must read

Fantastic!. Great read - too good to be free! The interesting characters and fast pacing made following this great fantasy tale a real treat :)

Really really really really really really really really good. Please read this book 📚 it is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good 💗 I spend hours reading these books I’m reading the third book and IT is crazy interesting and yeah crazy I have a obsession with these books 📚 (not really a big obsession) but I really really like these books 📚 sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Enjoy the adventure 💗💜

Steve. Great read, recommend

Fantastic read. Awesome read, loved the characters, Joseph is a great story teller, I have just down loaded the last two books in the trilogy and cannot wait to start reading . Highly recommended for lovers of well written fantasy.

Deacon trilogy. Totally sucked in by this one. I cannot wait to get the rest. This has consumed my every moment outside of work time.... Could not recommend it more

Skyrim in book form. I was hooked almost instantly. I struggled to pull myself away from the story and continue my every day activities. I longed to be traipsing through the harsh winter of the north. Many times while reading, I would pull myself away from the screen to exclaim "I love this story, it just keeps getting better and better" (much to the annoyance of my poor boyfriend). I've gone on to purchase the other books in the trilogy. Each one gets faster and faster until your heart is racing with excitement.

The Book of Deacon. I found another favourite author who I can't get enough of. Thank you for a wonderful story and characters. I will recommend your books to anyone who will listen..or not :) and download all the rest of his books.

The Book Of Deacon. great read!! a bit slow in getting into the story. though once past that keeps you captivated with unusual twists of events.

Excellent!!. I've read all three books in the series and I thought the story lines, depth of characters and the overall idea was brilliant! Couldn't put them down and would often be up at all hours to keep on reading to awake with the book still in my hands!!

The book of Deacon. A good fun read with plots and themes intertwining to keep you guessing what will come next…looking forward to reading the next in the series

Great read. From the very beginning I knew that I was going to enjoy this book. It was captivating and nothing of interest had happened yet. The only real downside was how slow it got towards the end when she was learning and although it was important to go slowly so that we could feel it was hard won, it was still rather laborious to read. Looking forward to reading the rest in this series

WORTH IT. This book was insane! Definitely worth a read if you like the fantasy type books! I'm actually going to buy the other two books in the trilogy! xx

Oh hell yeah!!. Normally like more urban fantasy style (highly recommend the decent series by SM Reine) but this one is perfect!!

wow!. good fantasy book. once started, i cant put ut down. good storyline.

AWESOME!!. This book was absolutely amazing!!! I highly, highly, highly recommend it to anyone and everyone :) I'll definitely be buying the next books in this series

The book of Deacon. Wonderful,exciting,interesting,captivating.Loved this book so glad there is more to come,can't wait.

Brilliant. Great read, couldn't put it down. The series is amazing and a must read for all fantasy lovers :)

Amazing!. I loved this book and the whole deacon trilogy! The writing captures you as a reader, the characters grow on you.. Highly recommend this trilogy

Not a page turner for me. Well written but could not keep my attention

T J. I enjoyed the read. Good development of the main character, written in first person. The other main character, the Alliance General needed to be included more, maybe in the second book?

Great. Addicting. Made me buy the ither two

Good read!. This book certainly kept my imagination on high alert.

A Must Read for All Fantasy Fans. And a must read for anyone who enjoys the telling of a good story by a gifted story teller. I could not put this book down from the first page. Every time I thought the story was going to typical boring there was a new twist or event I just did not see coming. I cannot wait to read more of the series. Thank you Joseph R. Lallo!

The book of Deacon. I loved it, it started off a little slow but once I got into it I couldn't put it down, I couldn't wait to read the second book.

Well written with a solid story line. Really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the next volumes. I found the story moved at a good clip and the characters were well developed. Highly recommended.

Interesting. Seems a very long introduction to an interesting story. It's worth the effort to go through the first part.

Book of Deacon. Thoroughly enjoyed. Fun read.

The Book of Deacon. Great read . Would buy and read all of his BOOKS .

The book is amazing !. I cannot put it down -- thank god it's in my phone to constantly read it !

Awesome story. I've now read all the books in the trilogy and during all of them there were nights I couldn't go to sleep because I couldn't stop reading. It's an amazing story, with lovable characters and fascinating environments.

Wow.. I've read far more books in my life than I can count, and am in the crawling process of attempting to write my own. This book is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy. Looking forward to reading the next ones!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.. A real page turner (:

The Book of Deacon. Wonderful book - looking forward to reading the rest on the series.

Fantastic. This story is interesting, well written and unique. I look forward to the next!
