Brotherhood of the Piaxia wasn't my typical read, even though I am a reader of all. It was also a slow read that I really had to get into, but once the action kicked in a few chapters in, I started to become excited. The plot was very riveting and I found the characters to be this story's greatest feat, especially Tessia. Michael's writing style I appreciated the most, as it was very mature and compelling. With a story like this one--full of adventure, myths, and mystery--that's the kind of writing it deserved.What I thought was the most surprising was that Drakich included a lot of characters at times and still managed to give them their own personality, never having one sound like the other. He highlights three characters in specific (my favorites) but they were a lot of characters to really connect with. I'm really into the folklore genre right now, and kingdoms and wizards and such, so Brotherhood of the Piaxia was truly amazing to read. It really widened my reading scope to a lot of new books and genres! The chracters in the story really come alive and become a part of you, the reason why I loved the fact that Drakich gave them their individual chapters.A lovely read worth the buy!
