I got this for free as part of a review group. I think I picked this up originally through LibraryThing.

I've tried to read this completely, picked it up and stopped several times. I just can't stand the writing style. The history seems well done, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to have this whole Cain and Abel throughout time feel to it deliberately or not. ( )

I received this copy free via a member's giveaway in exchange for a review.

Two for Eternity, is a story of twin brothers Raiken and Vrag who are constantly reborn into the world and have an influence on the world for good or bad.

I really enjoyed this book, the author had obviously done his research in the historic elements of the story, and managed to adapted his characters into events that felt natural. The book concentrates on Raiken primarily and follows his lives and achievement and his constant battle against his brother who he believes is pure evil.

I preferred the historic parts of the book, and felt the once in the modern world the plot lost a little of its magic and at times jumped to fast in the lead up to the end, that sais I would like to read more about this brothers and hopefully if Carl Alves is thinking about a second book, I would like to see it follow Vrag story, a character I believe that could have much “fun” in history.

Overall a very good book I would highly recommend. ( )

Interesting book. Far from my "usual" genre of book, even though it involved historical events almost like an alternate history type of book, so definitely not what I was expecting. That being said, it was an interesting read. I didn't really like the jumping around in the time line at first, but it made sense. I do wish the author had explained *how* the 2 main characters came into being. The book gave some very intriguing aspects to some famous historical events. I'm still attempting to fully digest the plot of the book and where it might go from there because it sure left a lot of possibilities for the future. ( )

I received this book as an Early Read through Library Thing to read and rate so here goes...

I loved the book! Couldn't put it down, started it yesterday morning and finished it this afternoon. A story of good and evil, light and dark, two brothers that cannot live apart but all hell brakes loose when they are together. You come to hate Vrag and his will to do pure evil, and you can relate to Raiken's goodness but at the same time his killer side as he tries to stop Vrag.

I loved the way the author tweaked with history to make it fit into the story, or better yet... the way he made the characters fit into history to come up with a plausible story of how things could have happened!

Good read... I will be on the lookout for more books by Carl Alves! ( )
