I was in the mood for a quest-type, light fantasy story when I picked up this book, and that’s exactly what I got.  The story follows a young boy on a journey that will eventually, hopefully lead him to save his home village, and likely the realm as a whole. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I will say that the story is filled with action and adventure, and some surprising twists.The book is aimed towards young adults, though adults will also find much to like.  The characters are very well drawn out, while the main character Kay also grows and transforms during the course  of the story.  While the story itself, that of a young man saving his village using his strength and skill, has been told many times, Kay is just such a life-like character that this story is nevertheless very engaging and enjoyable.The writing is clear and concise, and the plot unravels at a pleasant pace. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great fantasy read.
