Are you a fantasy, mystical, or action book lover seeking the perfect book just for you? Then I humbly suggest you read this multi-genre book, Yonder's Quest, by Kyle Robertson. Kyle Robertson is a fantastic author, born on January 1, 1970, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Before venturing into the world of an excellent author, Kyle Robertson was a master of sales. He knew over 800 electronic consumer devices and sold different appliances, from car audio to luxury vehicle sales and home maintenance equipment. He also became a trainer at that expertise. However, he was diagnosed with diabetes, which made him lose most of his sight and kidneys. Fortunately, he got a transplant and is now a magnificent author.

This book, Yonder's Quest, by Kyle Robertson, consists of 312 pages and has 12 chapters. This book begins with the protagonist, Danica Yonder, a scrundger, striving to become an Elite stealther, a highly ranking thief, but being subjected to much more rigorous training by her trainer, Goson. Goson detested scrundgers because he thought of them as inferior sorters. Hence, he made every effort—even if it meant overworking or murdering Danica—to prevent her from becoming an Elite stealther. Overworking her didn't seem to work because Danica had an unwavering resolve, so Goson had to try the alternative: killing her. She was then given the mission to pilfer from the castle, one of their banned, off-limits areas. Goson intended to capture and murder her using the fabled Chameets-saying, the castle's guardian. Danica, however, performed the unbelievable. She joined forces with the Chameets-saying. Her objectives altered as she allied herself with the Chameets-saying. Danica was determined to bring Fedus Ded, the Chameets-saying, home since he was abducted when he was a child and held captive by the castle's master, Zelad. Zelad misled Fedus into taking on the role of the castle's guardian. However, Danica and Fedus didn't realize that their quest would reveal many truths about their community and lives, as had been prophesied. How did Danica and Fedus learn these truths, and could they carry out this foretold prophecy? Find out by reading the book.

Every page of this book was a delight to me. I'm very fond of the book's cover. If I'm not mistaken, Fedus should be the larger image because the book describes him as being rather big, and Danica should be the smaller one. I admire the author's precise writing style and how he developed each character. I also loved the characters Danica and Fedus. They made a pretty good partner. Danica's willpower, especially, was something I found magnificent. Although she started off being disrespected by the stealthers because she was a scrundger, she fought her way through thick and thin and earned their respect. Whereas, although Fedus grew up knowing nothing except guarding the castle, he had quite a brilliant side since he spent most of his time reading books when he wasn't fighting off intruders. This book was indeed a lovely read with a fascinating storyline.

Unfortunately, although it was a fascinating read, the book contained errors. One or two errors might have been acceptable, but there were more than ten. It was a poorly edited book. Also, Danica and Jayla kept doing the Elite handshake, but the handshake was never fully described, so it was hard to imagine. Additionally, the book seemed a bit rushed towards the end. Going into further details would be a spoiler, so I'll stop here. Nonetheless, aside from those negatives stated, I found no other flaw in the book.

I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars. As previously said, the book has various errors that must be addressed correctly and carefully. Additionally, the other negative aspects stated didn't make the book any less intriguing than it was. Hence, it deserves the rating it got.

I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy fantasy novels. I also recommend this book to people who are curious about what the prophecy in the book is about.

This seems like an engaging fantasy novel with some questions connected to the prophecy and Danica's destiny that make me curious, so I hope the author does proper proofreading to prevent distractions. Thank you for your great review!
