Book Summary:
When an unstoppable evil force known only as ‘the Reaper’ seeks to break into Kal’s world, his life becomes intrinsically linked to that of Daine, a ruthless female assassin. Boy and girl must face challenges both together and apart if Kal is to save his father who lies in a chamber far away, and Daine is to discover why she has been called away from everything she has ever known.
Kal must travel further than he has ever been before, alone, except for the sporadic guidance of his father’s best friend, the mysterious Juquor. Relentlessly pursued by the deadly Arrochom, he must show maturity beyond his years to fight prejudice, solitude and the fears that cramp his every waking moment if he is to find a way back to his father.
Daine finds herself in another world, ripped from the comfort of the profession that is all she has ever known, unable even to converse with those around her. Confronted with feelings from a missing adolescence and forced to learn everything she once knew again, she must battle with her gender and revisit painful memories if she is to find purpose and quell the daemons that stalk her dreams.
My Review:
I like that you got to see what was happening in the story from both characters’ perspectives, although it did make the story a bit confusing at first. Usually when I read these kind of books, each chapter has the characters’ names at the start of the chapter which helps you to know, “Okay, we are going with this character.” With this book, you had to pay attention to the start of each part.
The story moved along at a great clip. You got to know who the bad guys were, and the descriptions of the monsters was nicely done. I like the back story that was filled in as you went along in the book. Both characters were developed in their skills by various other characters. This is a well thought-out first novel and sets the stage for a fantastic series.
Rating : 3 stars
