I am interested in the growth of Cale in his journey to survive without his family.Cales's growth as a character was very well written by the author. // I imagine he was heartbroken to discover that the murderers were Rangers. He lost both his family and his heroes in the same horrible day.

The book sounds thrilling with your detailed review. Kudos.

I loved Cale's character. You're right; many times, the protagonists in this type of YA book come off as kind of bratty (not always, but sometimes). The author did a great job developing his character growth. Thanks for stopping in and commenting!
Cale does have a bit of difficulty accepting that he's supposed to be some kind of hero. To himself, at that point, he's just the son of a pig farmer. He matures a lot in the book, and I'm sure that will continue in the next one! Thanks for dropping by and commenting!Laurina_Olowo wrote: ↑28 Mar 2020, 04:52 Wow, I literally felt like I was watching an action-packed movie. Very immersive. I also guess it must have been challenging for Cake to come to terms with his new identity, was it? It must be a very interesting read. Wonderful review.
Thanks for the lovely compliment and for stopping in and commenting!bellajavier wrote: ↑28 Mar 2020, 16:39 This is an extremely well-crafted review. Definitely makes the reader want to read the book, I admire how you have captured the entire essence of the book so beautiful, in such little words.
Thanks so much to all of you for the compliments. I'm always happy to know that others enjoy my writing

It is a good read and was easily doable in just a few days. // Cale definitely had his high and low points; I think the real roller coaster ride is yet to come in the next book. I can’t wait! Thanks to you both for stopping by and commenting!AvidBibliophile wrote: ↑31 Mar 2020, 20:44 “The legions of the damned rise in the shadows...” Goodness gracious, this seeker of justice was in for a wild ride! Sounds like an awesome tale of excitement and intrigue.

Young-adult is one of my favourite genres, and the combination of fantasy with good character development and superb writing is everything I need. I'm even more impressed by the fact that this is the first published book of the author. Thank you very much for the great review!
I'm fond of YA books as well. The author is certainly to be given kudos for his writing; it is smooth and has all the marks of an established author even though this is his first book. Thank you both for the compliments! And thanks for dropping in and commenting!

Thank you for the lovely compliment! I had similar thoughts toward the King Arthur legend when Cale first found the sword. I loved the banter back and forth between them! Thanks for dropping in and commenting!
