In this pursuit, they need to free one of the strongest Djinn of the nation, Namien. But, this is not an easy task as for this they have to break in one of the most secure jail of Africa.

What does Namien's role in this war? Will Kobenan and Biafle be able to break in? What will be Joel's role in this war? 

My Opinion

Action Packed, Mysterious and Magical

Tale Series, Book1: Knowledge by Yessoh G.D. is a book full of African sorcery, magic and adventure. Although, the book needs a sequel but the still the story takes you on an bewildering ride of magic. This is my first time reading a book set in Africa, but it was an amazing experience to learn about African magic and sorcery. The cover of the book truly represents the title of the book.

I would like to give 5 stars to the book. A must read if you want to read something different and extraordinary. 

Character Portrayal

Kobenan, a channel is a man with extraordinary powers and a third eye. Biafle is Head of S- Cell and Djinn of the Jungle. Joel is a student who finds himself tangled in this dangerous war.

These three are the main characters in the book, Tale Series Book1: Knowledge by Yessoh G.D.. 

Kobenan and Biafle already have powers but Joel's character, throughout the story has shown some astonishing developments.

Tertiary characters are strong and powerful and maintains reader's interest throughout the story.

Narrative Style

Tale Series Book1: Knowledge by Yessoh G.D. is written from author's POV. The author has brilliantly divided the events related to Kobenan and Joel separately so that the story becomes easy to understand. The language is simple. There are small flashbacks in the story but they wouldn't confuse you.
