Tell me again why we’re doing this?

John, Soul ticked, Where’s your sense of adventure? A journey is its own reward.

I scoffed, There better be cake. I demand a cake after all the effort of putting up with you.

He feigned insult. I’ll have you know that most people are delighted to speak to me.

I laughed; I am most people!

Oh pish posh, he countered. Now stop sulking and let’s get going; you have a message to deliver.

I wondered how many people would care for the letter I carry. Would I be able to deliver my message, or would I get lost in these ill-forsaken roads of destiny? What a funny word that is. And how cruel it is to…

I winced away from the memory as I set about walking without thinking. Of course… where was I?

John? Soul’s familiar voice echoed through my skull…

Yes… that’s how we started it.

“Memory fades, and with them our words too lose all value.”

John Volk Cianden was never meant to be remembered. His contribution to history is a mere footnote.

If fate hadn’t been so curiously capricious, John would have lived, loved, longed, and eventually died a farmer.

The body to a soul who doesn’t deserve him

It was fate, wasn’t it? Some ploy of the Dreamers to twist our path until we were something more—or perhaps… something less than we wanted.

And though the people may let our story slip through the fingers of what is and what shouldn’t.

I won’t. I remember. I always will.

– Soul

This was a fascinating story of a guy and his Soul who are thrust into a dangerous adventure. It is at times dark, serious, funny and action-packed, making for a very enjoyable read with twists and turns and mysteries to keep the reader guessing. I enjoyed how it cleverly combined elements of fantasy, sci-fi and even a dash of dystopia. While the complex world-building might not be at a Brandon Sanderson level, it is a very unique and engaging setting. I look forward to the exciting stories this author produces next...and hopefully a sequel!

A skillfully written book, brimming with striking descriptive language and a beautiful ability to paint with words. As an avid reader since my youth, I can honestly say this book is unlike any other that I have read. The storyline is incredibly fast paced and multifaceted and hard to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction between the characters. I will definitely be on the lookout for follow-up books from this promising and creative new author.

The Soul Walker is a touching and thoughtful story about a man named John and his spirited companion, Soul, as they travel through mysterious paths filled with meaning and memory. The story mixes light humor with quiet emotion, making it both heartwarming and reflective. It also includes moments of action, especially when John trains and pushes himself forward, adding energy and movement to the journey. The story gently explores ideas of destiny, purpose, and the bond between two souls on a shared path. A truly memorable read that stays with you long after the last line.
