"Trail of Bones": A Young Adult Fantasy Novel by author Chris Salisbury. This Kindle e-book was a 819 Kb download and sold for $3.99 at the time of writing this review.This book is honestly and accurately described on its Amazon.com product page as 'An Epic Fantasy Adventure For Any Family'.Please Note: the author provided me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Some thoughts on "Trail of Bones"...1.) well written using a blend of some interesting character development and writing techniques to bring to life an adventure that will entertain and hold the interest of most YA readers. There was lots of action and numerous human and non-human characters that had the ability to interact with each other, adding their own unique twist to this tale.2.) I thought the opening chapter featuring Storm Elf, Korwin Widestep, as he magically attempts to bring a huge Shade Wolf back to life, was particularly well done.3.) the story soon shifts to a scene between the Warden and General Kitra. This chapter serves to introduce the reader not only to these two diametrically opposed individuals but also to Giant Panther cubs, Kelor and Magnus. All four have a significant part to play in developing story line of this intriguing YA fantasy adventure.4.) twist and turns that keep the plot moving in various, and often unexpected directions.5.) cover art... simply stunning.Conclusion:A fantasy adventure that features lots of action and intrigue that is geared to a YA audience.There are moments in this tale that are especially well done... story telling at a level that I'd be interested to see what this author would do with an adult orientated fantasy work.As a dedicated YA work... 5 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com
