REVIEW
 
This has to be one of the most exciting YA Fantasy novels I've ever read.
 
It was well paced, action-packed and just an all round delightful read. The characters were all enjoyable and it was fun to see their interaction with each other. I particularly loved Kaylia. She kicks butt while being graceful and beautiful at the same time. I really wanted to learn as much as I could about her elven heritage.
 
The story revolves around a few brave souls who set out to stop and destroy the darkness that threatens to take over the world after The Sword of Truth falls into the wrong hands. Gewey, the not so obvious hero, given that he's only seventeen and a farm boy, learns that his life is anything but normal and he is anything but a commoner. With the guidance of Lee and his new found friends, Gewey, develops into a mature, strong character. And for all the romantics out there, the beautiful romance that blossoms within the pages of this book gives new meaning to "soul mates".

There are quite a few twists within the plot of this book that kept me enthralled, and when I got to the last page I didn't want it to end, especially with such a cliffhanger! Book two is at the top of my TBR pile as I have to know what happens to Gewey and Kaylia.
 
Even though this book has been labelled at YA Fantasy, I think it will reach into the soul of readers of all ages, especially readers of Epic Fantasy novels, who will love this book with its mystery and magic.

It deserves nothing less than...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Brian D. Anderson debuted as an indie author in fall 2012 with The Godling Chronicles, a multi-book young adult fantasy series from GMTA Publishing that sold 10,000 copies in just the first three months.
The continued and growing success of his first two titles, Book One: The Sword of Truth and Book Two: Of God and Elves, allowed Anderson to start writing full-time. He releases the third installment of his series this spring, and is already at work on the fourth and fifth novels.
 

Anderson was born in 1971 in the small town of Spanish Fort, Alabama and lived throughout the coastal state also in Fairhope and Mobile during college, where he developed a love of fantasy novels.

He lived and worked in New York for years with his wife and son – who created the original concept for The Godling Chronicles – and the family is heading back down south for a beach life in Pensacola, Florida.
