I'm only 50% into the first book, I have the next 3 books as well, but I wanted to write a review since I'm not seeing any here for this author. The book is good, really good. It's extremely well thought out. It's written in an amazing way, first person (which sometimes is off putting but not here), excellent editing (I've only found one word that I was curious about it's placement)and the storyline keeps you reading. It begins with a boy of 12, it's the telling of his story, in his words, but it reads so much more than that. You aren't burdened with the antics of a 12 year old, mostly because he hasn't had time to fully appreciate being a kid, and you get to watch him mature while enduring so much a 12 shouldn't have too. It continues beyond the age of 12, so don't think it's a 'kid' book, that's simply where it starts. I'm infatuated with the book so far. I may have to come back and revise this review but I seriously doubt it. If you like the unusual, beserkers, angels, guardians, and superhuman abilities, then you'll love this. I am not a 'reviewer' so please don't think I did this because I had to. I was just completely surprised by the lack of reviews on here and had to post something. This author can write, and it's so refreshing to find one that can tell a story, make certain it's edited (readable), and do it in such a bang up way! Kudos to you Mr. Howell. You have earned a loyal follower :-)
