This is a super story and well-told. Dalyn, the main protagonist, has his world turned upside down when everything he grew up believing to be true turns out to be false. What follows is an action-packed, fast-moving novel that keeps the reader flicking the screen or turning pages to get to the next page.The characters are well-developed, convincing, interesting, and we get a good bit of character development through their actions and behaviors, not through the author 'telling' us about them. The author skillfully weaves their individual stories together into a greater whole and makes them a cohesive unit while still keeping their personal character traits and motivations clear. A number of plot twists along the way keep this story constantly moving.This is not a genre I typically read, and I'm glad it was recommended. The story is well-thought-out and loose ends are knotted by story's end. The author provides enough sensory details to let us experience the surroundings without getting bogged down in them, which is one reason the pace is so great.This story is well-told and will appeal to a wide variety of readers. I'm proof. I definitely recommend it as a well-crafted, interesting, and intriguing read. I look forward to the next in the series.
