High Lights
- COMPLEXITY. And…and complicated and….just CRAZY!
- All the main characters!
- Zardi is so brave and daring, but also sweet and curious.
- Rhidan is a mysterious, funny boy who knows nothing about his past or who his parents are.
- Sinbad is a total cutie…*blush* What? What? HE IS! He’s kinda of rough and tough at the beginning, but he softens up to Zardi when… You’ll just have to read it! DO IT. *fangirls* I LOVES IT.
- 400 PAGES OF AWESOME. Oh yeah.
- Just everything about it pretty much.
Low Lights
- There are some pretty intense parts which might be a bit too much for a younger reader.
Favorite Quote
“Let it hurt, Zardi," Rhidan said. "Take the pain and make it something else. Let it make you stronger and smarter.”
Conclusion
I really love this book! The story is riveting, the worldbuilding is insanely well done, and the characters are memorable.
