Book Review: "Peril and Splendor: The Journey to Yragos" by Caleb Birch

The book promises to be an action-packed story filled with heroes, wizards, and dragons, and it delivers on that promise. The story begins with the legendary warrior Ramsay Wick and his team of friends, comprising a knight and two wizards, fighting a beast and defeating it quite easily. On returning to their city, the warrior's guild assigns the team Leopadillo, along with several others, to slay the Alpha Dragon, whose army has been tormenting their realm. The rest of the story is about their journey to reach the dragon's lair and kill him.

The book takes readers on a nail-biting journey to the dragon's lair, where Ramsay and his team of warriors and wizards must confront impossible choices. The author excels at drawing readers into the story with engaging chapters that provide a clear sense of what to expect. The action sequences, particularly the battles against various foes, are a highlight of the narrative, showcasing the diverse skills and magical abilities of Ramsay's team. The journey is filled with encounters and fights with ogres, giant scorpions, giant octopuses, deceitful men, and many more. But the bond among Ramsay's team members lets them face and win all of the challenges.

The addition of Peakiboon, the talking rabbit, adds some humor and delight to the story. The author has also attempted to put some romance in the book, which is quite apparent and appreciated as the novel is meant for young adults. The line, “It’s a shame to have to kill a creature, but sometimes you have to do it for the greater good,” also suggests that the author is a responsible writer for young adults.

The editing of the book is extraordinary, as I did not find any errors or mistakes in the writing, though the readers should be prepared for some profane language as the warriors are fighting the monsters. There is nothing to dislike about the book. I would give the book five out of five stars, much of it for keeping the adventure in the story alive with the twists and turns. I would recommend the book to anyone interested in fantasy adventures involving fire-breath dragons and heroes.
