"Realm Keepers: Episode Two" is a Young Adult fantasy adventure by co-authors Garrett Robinson and Z. C. Bolger.This Kindle e-book was approximately 116 printed pages and sold for $0.99 at the time of writing this review.Spoilers (general theme only)This episode follows Calvin and his interactions with other members of the 'realm'. He continues to hone his 'Air' skills and must help stave off a serious attack on the kingdom of Athorn.End SpoilersSome thoughts on "Episode Two"...1.) well written and while geared to a Young Adult (YA) audience, the writing level is of a quality that I think most adult readers will enjoy this, and the other tales in this series, as well.2.) fast paced, with little down time making for an exciting and entertaining read.3.) sprinkled throughout with a bit of subtle humor.4.) although the series features a tale of six teens, (an age group fraught with insecurities, internal squabbling and oft times outright silliness) this is not the predominant feature of this book. Yes, there is some typical YA interaction between the group members and with their 'advisors' but this does not appear the overwhelming premise behind the story presented here... and for which I'm personally thankful.5.) cover art... I especially liked the cover art found in this series. Covers that are similar enough to tie the entire series together, but  unique enough to indicate whom a particular episode was highlighting. An intriguing concept, well executed!Conclusion:A well written tale that in published in a serial episode format. Although YA in nature it could easily appeal to an older audience as well. I'm not a huge fan of YA literature, yet I found that I enjoyed reading these first two episodes.As it is... 5 StarsRay Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
