Nightborn by Lou Anders
4.0
So normally, I am not a big fan of middle grade reads. I have tried and tried reading them in the past and to no avail, I have not been able to finish them! This book has become my exception to that rule! If you enjoy high fantasy, then you should probably pick up this series.
I had not read the first book and went into this completely blind! I must admit that although there were a few times that I seemed to get confused, I was able to follow the book through for the most part which made me VERY happy!!
I loved every second of it! This book had all kinds of different creatures from humans to elves, from dragons to giants! This book has it all!
My favorite character was Karn! I liked his love of games and enjoyed the way he was able to piece together the riddle! (oops! That may have been a small spoiler)
My other favorite part of the book is that they actually teach you at the end how to actually play the game of Charioteers! They give you the rules and explain the object of the game. I thought this was a REALLY cool special touch on the authors part.
All in all, I am glad that I received this book for review and I am hoping that there might be another book to this fine series!
