I always love a good fantasy with highly relatable characters and Andrew Lashway’s unsuspecting hero of The Soul Forge, Thomas is just that. He’s a lanky, clumsy teen who finds himself suddenly possessed with magic powers he didn’t know he had. Now, it seems that an fairly forgettable stable boy is now the center of some unwanted attention. I love seeing Thomas get into tight situations and how he manages to make it out. It’s fun, adventurous and well-written. Plus, there are an array of interesting supporting characters and a quick-paced plot that kept me turning the pages. The dialogue is no-frills and the descriptions are vivid without being overdone. This book was a real find for only $.99. Lashway is definitely a new author to watch.
