I picked this book out of the blue and loved it from the start. Great to find a new author whose book got me hooked. I could not put it down, it kept calling me. I highly recommend it. On to the next book.

When I first started this book, I couldn't stand it. I found it very boring, It took me almost 2 weeks to force myself to read it. Suffering through 10 chapters of very boring things. But once I got to chapter 11, I started to fall for it…

I have a large, green imp on my shoulder. Is it a demon from the Ether? some people might call it that..... Unfortunately it is not though. It's a rather large case of jealousy. Jealousy and anger that is. Jealousy that Fletcher…

This book was an awfully refreshing read. It is certainly up there with my most beloved series. The aforementioned book has good exposition, action, pacing, beautiful writing, and a beautiful universe. Taran Matharu has created a…

Honestly just picked up this book by chance and fell in love with it! It’s very rare nowadays to find a fantasy-esque book where the main character is NOT female. If you’re looking for a fantasy-like world with elves and dwarves, magic and…

Young Fletcher has no idea what adventures, and destiny, are in store for him! Exciting plot with wonderful characterization, friendship, loyalty, acceptance and strength.

This tale is simply too derivative. It bleeds fantasy tropes (hunter orphaned protag, bully guards, finds mysterious pet in the woods gifted to him by an equally-mysterious old man in a tavern). But I can appreciate a good fantasy trope.…

Pretty good book. Makes me want to read the second one, but overall, for me, it could have even MORE and it would have been even better. Putting that aside, it's a great book! An imaginitive plot line and likeable characters! Definitely…

A real pageturner YA fantasy adventure. The first in the trilogy, I would highly recommend to teens who enjoy Harry Potter, Fellowship of the Rings, Terry Brook's Shanarra series, Ranger's Apprentice series, etc.

The first book in a trilogy, "The Novice" is an awesome example of high fantasy. Elves, dwarves, humans, and orcs all play a role in a world where humans rule supreme, but are caught in a war with the orcs. Those who receive Summoning…

Absolutely amazing book! A real page turner, and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't care if there is a love interest. All in all, an amazing book, can't wait for the sequel.

I found this book enjoyable and the plot engaging. It has a similar feel to many medieval fantasy fiction stories that I have read - so if you like those then you will like this. My only complaint is that I now have to wait for the next…
