This one had me hooked right from the start. "Steffor knew from experience that the serpent would not strike." And so a very good story begins, keeping you entertained to the very end. I admit, I'm a fan of sci-fi fantasy which can be a blessing and a curse when reading other books of this genre. You can't help comparing new books to some of your favourite novelists in this genre  whether that is a David Eddings , a Stephen Donaldson, or (more up to date) sci-fi fantasy films such as Avatar.Like Avatar, this one consists of two different worlds. On the one hand you have the jungle world in which the Guardian lives, determined to save his planet. On the other you have Stelling who lives in a totally different planet that is strict and disciplinarian.I found the two stories to gel quite well. Overall it is action-packed and the imagination and story telling of Trey Copeland left me quite enthralled. A great first novel, and I'm pleased that the author (given this is Volume 1) is planning another. I recommend the book to any sci-fi fantasy fan.
