WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS POWERFUL?
I am currently a new reader into the fantasy reading genera and just finished reading the 1st of this trilogy. What most impressed me about the book the first time through was how much better it got as it went along. It was fun and interesting, and truly set a great foundation. It kept you engaged while providing background without spoilage. A lot of the time books give away too much in the beginning that make you guess the end so the book becomes anticlimactic. That was not the case for this book at all.Preston Mann has done an amazing job setting up the overall situation, creating the story with primal elements that perfectly appeal not merely to child readers, but any reader. Many of these elements are similar to what readers find in twisted fairy tales: a child with a hidden destiny and unacknowledged power. This is as basic a set up as they come.However, the way the author creates this page-turner keeps you on edge waiting to see what happens next and whether or not the main character can distinguish what is right and what is for personal gain.The closest thing I have to a complaint to the first novel is that the overall story is simply not being completed as I’m ready for book 2. That and the play on my emotions. There are many plot twists, some you see coming that still take you by surprise. Then the ones you never saw coming and those hurt you. Overall, I was very pleased and have enjoyed venturing into this new genre of Christian Fantasy. It’s not something I personally have ever heard of until now. I believe Preston Man to be bold, edgy, and an overall genius for tapping into such a world of writing. I loved this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.
