I'm big on fantasy and this sounds like something I'd enjoy; a fate-of-two-worlds, good-triumphing-over-evil kind of story, with Conor Archer at the center of everything. Thanks for the review!

I can't imagine being as young as Connor was, experiencing such deep loss and getting burdened with the idea that the survival of two worlds rests on his shoulders. I would freak out. I am glad that he develops abilities to help him cope though.

Sounds like an interesting story infused with well-rounded characters. I'm not a fan of science fiction and fantasy stories, but this book seems to portray a unique story. I'd like to see how the storyline brings out the idea of "good prevailing evil" as mentioned in the review. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

I like the plot of this book. However, those who enjoy reading sci-fi books will find it more appealing and engrossing to read. Congrats on the BOTD and a well-written review.

It's wonderful to know that the book has richly developed characters with depth and intrigue. This is crucial in any kind of narrative especially the fantasy genre where new worlds could be built entirely.
