Five-Star Review

This epic fantasy…is a masterful lesson in world-building, storytelling , and managing to tie it all in to very human emotions and desires. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the Archaic Deception series, and Dayvie brought us on a great first look into the world of his creation!

Archaic Deception: The Guardian of Emblems was a great magical read.  Many times I felt as if the scenery was right before my very eyes. I was  fascinated with the world, Diveria, that Dayvie created.”

The world created by Joe Dayvie in his debut novel is elaborate, rich and complicated. He weaves the story taking place in between realms effortlessly and takes the reader on an  epic adventure.”

I would classify Archaic Deception more as urban fantasy.  Dayvie does a beautiful job with world-building and setting the stage for future books within this universe. I would give this  4.5 stars rounded up to 5.”

There were so many great elements to the story including friendship, family, deceit, magic, propaganda, mystery and adventures. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series and to see where Dayvie takes the world of Diveria and his characters next!
