Veronika Ivanova - a pretty well-known name in the worldRussian fantasy. The books of the author cause an ambiguous reaction among readers and have a very strange phenomenon: there seems to be nothing particularly interesting, but the next volume of the series for some reason you get.

Sometimes there are also those who adhere to neutrality, because they themselves are not able to understand their reaction to the author's books.
Was born on March 27, 1974 in the thenLeningrad. I graduated from the most ordinary comprehensive school. I also attended an art school. After receiving the certificate, the Leningrad State Electrotechnical University entered the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering far from the writing business. After graduating, she worked for a while in her specialty.
The first work of Veronika Ivanov laid out innetwork only in 2004. Its unusual it attracted a lot of attention. Then the author began to regularly produce, on average, 2 works per year. At the moment she wrote 17 books.
Writer Veronika Ivanova creates wellthoughtful worlds with atypical protagonists. She does not use the usual for fantasy stamps, when the unruly gangster suddenly finds a miracle ability and begins to do good from left to right. Her main characters initially seem weak-willed weaklings, resigned to their difficult fate. But something happens, and the character begins to develop. And developing, it becomes stronger and can already save not only itself, but the world.
The cycle consists of eight books.The first came out in print in 2005, the last in 2009. The plot unfolds around the main character of Geron. He does not like adventure and prefers to stay in the shade, but fate knows best. And instead of quietly reflecting and engaging in self-discovery, Geron has to act: to fight with enemies, to save languid maidens, to acquire new friends. Tiring occupation, whatever you say.
The highlight of the series is that the protagonist is solid"Not" and deals exclusively with "itself". He is not handsome, but at the same time easily captivates maidens with one eye of the eyes, not a superhero, but easily cuts off all enemies, not sure of himself, but heals other people's souls. At the same time, do not forget to engage in self-discovery, self-flagellation, self-knowledge and other things.
If you wriggle through the jungle of philosophical digressions and internal monologues of the hero, then there is a good habitual fantasy, but it is extremely small.
