4.0

I enjoyed this Christian YA fantasy. Nice work on the world building/setting. Good characters in interesting situations. There’s great suspense as the story builds. I found the ending a little flat, though. The final battle didn’t reach the same or higher tension as some of the earlier scenes. I kept waiting for a big reveal or twist or betrayal, thinking the relatively quick resolution was just the calm before the big moment, but it never materialized.

I would still recommend this to fantasy fans and especially Christian teens. Other readers may have a better experience with the ending, and the rest of the story was solid for me.

I received a review copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
