A very interesting read.Mr. Neighbors has used a tried and true format in fantasy genre to create the  world of  Five Kingdoms.In a small part of this world reside Zollin,a nice young man who feels out of place in his village and his own home,Brianna,the prettiest girl in the village,Quinn,Zollin's father,Mansel who works for Quinn. These four come together to fight against the evil wizards of Torr.I am not a fan of world building as much as I am of the relationships of the people involved in the story. Most writers loose the reader while trying to "paint a picture" of the world.The story gets bogged down in information that is repeated a dozen times in the following installments.Give me the story (first book) then build your world around the story and thankfully Mr, Neighbors has done that.The book has some nice twists and turns and can be enjoyed by a cross over of people.It has enough adult realism to appeal to most fantasy genre junkies.Don't miss out on this adventure.
