[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Kin's Quest" by Ron Root.]
Kin's Quest by Ron Root draws you into the amazing fantasy world of Graal, where an unsuspecting orphan named Gresham learns of his magic ability. After being found by his uncle Jerak, Gresham travels to Suzerain to train to become a battle mage. He hopes to earn magus status in order to have a higher social standing in society to provide a better life for his pregnant wife Rayna. With Rayna secretly being highborn, Gresham is desperate to prove himself worthy of her, especially when others doubt him. The couple embarks on a long and dangerous journey when Rayna receives a map of her missing mother's whereabouts. The map was a possession of the One Church; now they are after the pair to retrieve the map before anyone can decipher it.
This is the second book of the Tales of Graal. I thought the summary of the first book, in the beginning, was helpful. This novel can definitely stand on its own if you haven't read the first. I enjoyed the mid-evil theme and speech. The author did a great job portraying the world of Graal with detailed descriptions, maps, and character development. All the different characters were easy to keep organized and I thought they all added to the story perfectly. Hagley was one of my favorite characters because I related to his personality the most. He added humorous moments with his mix of fear and the thrill of adventure. I also enjoyed the brotherly type friendship between Hagley and Gresham. Draper was another character I liked because he brought a lot of mystery to the story. It was fun trying to guess what his true intention was.
I have nothing negative to say about this book. It kept my interest throughout the story so much I did not want it to end. Root made it intriguing with the scandals and suspense while incorporating the value of friends and family.
I rate Kin's Quest a 4 out of 4. The book was edited very well. I only came across one error. I look forward to reading more tales of Graal and finding out the fate of the One Church.
I would suggest all fans of fantasy read this novel. The plot is intricate and full of adventure. It describes a world full of magic, mysterious other worlds, and creatures, some of which can eat magic. There are small amounts of sexual content and profanity.
