The Lost Son is no exception to this rule and totally worth the read.Mr. Black's characters are strong, independent, and have a reckless streak I love. I felt immediately transported to the world Kalen and Micheil live in and didn't want to leave. The secondary characters add a distinctive flavor to the plot. They kept me guessing throughout and not wanting the story to end. And the ending...it's a short story, but it's very much worth it and exciting.Kalen is a typical warrior. He's a fighting man's man. But what I liked the best about him is that he's willing to say, `Hey, I made a mistake'. That takes guts. I also loved the idea that he loved as fiercely as he fights. He's the type of hero I want on my side in any confrontation. And the plot twists concerning his future--I didn't see them coming, but I loved them.As much as I liked Kalen, I liked Micheil. There were times when I wasn't sure about him, other than he needed and loved Kalen passionately. But when his true nature and role in the story were brought to light, I knew I liked him. In fact, I didn't want the story to end. He's as strong and unruly as Kalen, but with the added flavor of magical powers.If you want a story that will indeed stick with you long after the last page, then you need to read The Lost Son. I give it 5 cherries.
