Matt Campbell's Spirit Summoner (The Chosen of the Light), book I, is a grand adventure.  It follows Darr, a spirit summoner, as he learns there is more to his "gift" than just an annoying and useless connection to the spirit world.  He's been chosen to help keep the world from devolving into chaos once more.Along the way he is presented with those who would see him fail, and those who would help him.  Campbell weaves the story around the family issues we all have and yet presents those simple actions and interactions in a way that makes the characters larger than life, and the choices Darr must make have you wondering what will happen next.The fantasy elements are familiar, yet, not cliche.  Any fantasy lover will want to read ths one more than once.This is a great start to a fantasy epic.  I am looking forward to reading the next book.
