I have known about these characters for some time from the author putting out the comic "Battle Gate" but I have honestly been behind on any adventures or inside information for a long time. So when I picked up this book I approached the story from an almost fresh mind and pair of eyes.
At first I was worried that the story wouldn't be interesting to those who weren't familiar with the heroes. I was extremely wrong. Sure, there is information in it that more in-depth fans would pick up but the way the book is written there was plenty of moments where it was explained for those who wouldn't know and it not disrupt the flow of the story.
Which, the flow? Decently paced. My _only_ complaint was it felt a little rushed and muddied towards the end. That could just be me but do not in the least bit let that detour you from the overall amazing composition, chemistry, and world that is laid out for you. The author has done an outstanding job of creating a world that can suck you in and descriptions that allow you to really use your imagination to experience the story. I have always known the author as an artist and I am glad to see that he has included artistry with words to his repertoire without being too wordy or dragging out unnecessary details.
I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in the series whether by just coming across it or has been newly introduced. You will not be disappointed.
About the author
I COULDN’T put it down!!!
First let me start by saying that I don’t usually read young adult fantasy books, but a friend of mine who has been trying to get me into them for years had just read this book and highly recommended it as a good one to try. She has been a Flux Destiny universe for some time and has been raving about this fandom.Result: I COULDN’T put it down!I was drawn into the author’s intricate universe and the rocky relationship between the two leads, Marco and Hugo. The pacing is superb and the mix of action/comedy/drama was so well balanced. I went through so many emotions!I have to also add that now that I’ve finished the book, I can see why this book has such great reviews and why its fandom is so loyal. Now that my friend has successfully sucked me into the world of YA fantasy books, I CANNOT wait for this author to release the next one!!!I loved it so much I’m recommending it to my book club!
