I love these types of stories even at my advanced age. Never understood why they call these Young Adult Novels, some of them are great to read just for the fun of it. I have fallen head over heels in love with these characters and the land they so fiercely protect. That being said let me tell you more about the book itself.The writing is good, the story moves along at a nice pace and the author develops the character and backstory for them and their quest very well. The descriptive prose is awesome and what is most impressive is it seems he actually thought about what a real life response would be to many of the situations the characters find themselves in.Griffin and Cassius, are like cadets in Boot camp and are suddenly thrust into the roles of a life time. If they succeed they could save their world from being swallowed by evil. This is not just a journey to save the world we also see how it is the events of our lives that reveal to us and others who we really are underneath.Bravo Calvin Gomes on your first, of what i hope will be many, books set in Caladon. I recommend this one wholeheartedly to everyone.
