Everything Talos told Celwyn was a lie, and by the time their ship, the<em>&nbsp;Zelda,&nbsp;<\/em>encounters a terrific storm in the Arctic Circle, Celwyn finds he must reconsider his allegiance. He chooses Kang, and they travel to Singapore, preparing to journey west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to deflect the attention of the city\u2019s police, they allow an American heiress to go with them as she escapes matrimony to seek adventure. Her crazy aunt hops another train, and the pursuit is on. The third member of their friendship is from Juba in the Sudan; a widower, scholar, and brave but superstitious man. Their deep friendship grows as they battle several malevolent forces at the same time, and rescue two orphans along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celwyn has avoided caring about anyone for hundreds of years, and now must learn the cost of friendship, and loss. Eventually they reach Prague. The culmination of their battles with evil occurs on the Vltava River under the shadow of the Prague Opera House. As always, it is accompanied by the ethereal music of the magician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7354\" width=\"256\" height=\"128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars.png 512w, https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/5-stars-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are times in my life when I wanted to set sail across the Pacific and then ride a train across Asia and Europe. These things have not happened yet, but reading a novel like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PPKwiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Violins Played before Junstan<\/a><\/em> by Lou Kemp is a great alternative from the safety of my home. Set in the mid-1800s, this novel starts us off in San Francisco with a bang and doesn&#8217;t let up until the final page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I enjoy most about a story is its ability to draw me into its world through description and the right amount of characterization. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PPKwiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Violins Played before Junstan<\/a><\/em> does just that. I feel I have been at sea, in Singapore, on a train through Asia, up mountains and across valleys, eventually arriving in Prague. Along the way, we collect a variety of characters, starting with our protagonist, the magician Jonas Celwyn and his companion Xiau Kang. All of the characters in the novel have their unique traits, even those that are secondary to the main. It is the relationships these characters form and the backstories we learn throughout that provides meat to the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would definitely describe the novel as steampunk with elements of both Victorian-era novels (especially in terms of language) and a comfortable level of magical realism (vampires, daemons, witches and well, magicians). This was a pleasant surprise as I tend to gravitate toward these types of novels. The language of the era is one that has been butchered by many an author (and screenwriter) of late, but here Kemp&#8217;s grasp of the nuance is impressive and appreciated. You really can feel as if you are peering into a past world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PPKwiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Violins Played before Junstan<\/a><\/em> is an excellent read, a true pleasure and one that engrossed me from beginning to end. But it is not the end, and I look forward to the second installment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Available at Amazon:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PPKwiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Violins-Played-Before-Junstan-Celwyn-ebook\/dp\/B0BBLLD7WK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bxwretlind.com\/blog\/reviews\/\">Read More Reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;text-align: center;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Email\",\"Print\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"big\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"bxwretlind\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Review%3A%20The%20Violins%20Played%20before%20Junstan%20by%20Lou%20Kemp\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description (from Amazon.com) PrequelSan Francisco, 1865.
