I really enjoyed reading "Age of the Sigil: The Complete First Season." Although it is aimed at a YA audience, I think that any adult who likes a well-written fantasy would also like reading it. Since other reviewers have already given a synopsis of the story, I'll skip giving one and let you find out the story for yourself.My only objection was the frequent use of made up words that you are expected to figure out the meaning for yourself. I also had a lot of difficulty remembering the many characters with their names being hard (or impossible) to pronounce. The addition of a glossary would be a great help to readers and I hope that later editions would include that.The book is fast-paced and action-packed and the divisions between episodes (chapters) are always clearly defined. The characters are easy to like (or hate) because they all have complex, three-dimensional personalities which seem very realistic. It is easy to think yourself living in this world along with the characters because the imagery is so outstanding. It is vivid, graphic, and extremely detailed. I loved the dialogues which were crisp, sparkling and remained true to the individual throughout the book.Luckily the next season of the book is already published since, after reaching the end, I was anxious to learn what happened next. If you like fantasy, then this book should go on the top of your reading list. Happy reading!I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review which I have tried to give. I received no other compensation and any opinions expressed are my own.
