Book Review – The Chosen Celtic Warrior – James Peter: The Shapeshifter
Ashwath Dubey
Earliest surviving literature and epic poems, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Iliad mentioned Shapeshifting, usually produced by a deity’s deed. Shapeshifting is the power of a being or monster to change its physical form or shape in mythology, folklore, and speculative fiction. This is usually accomplished through a mythological creature’s inherent talent, divine intervention, or the use of magic.
Ashwath Dubey’s feat ‘The Chosen Celtic Warrior- James Peter: The Shapeshifter’ under the paranormal genre is an admirable attempt. The embryonic author’s imagination of creating the battle of shapeshifters is par excellence. Budging with the character of an innocent child of ten years old- James Peter, whom the world siphoned as ‘disorder’ lead a pack of warriors. His adroitness in combating challenges, and demonstration of valour and intelligence come as a surprising compendium. The setting of the book makes you move from places in Europe to the US.
‘The Chosen Celtic Warrior- James Peter: The Shapeshifter’ is hypnotic and mesmerizing. At the age of ten, Ashwath’s exploration through his work of imaginatively becoming something other than human and vividly presenting it is a must-read.

But let’s rise above to blow it up.
With every sunrise being a new start,
A fresh beginning with a new heart.

A brighter tomorrow, in a brand-new morn.

And let yesterday fade away…
