Customer Reviews

Better get comfortable, you won't want to put THIS one down!

I had met the author at Noreascon last year, and after reading The Impending Storm, I was quite impressed (see my review under that listing). I was hoping to get Book 2, but it wasn't out yet. I read some of the information on the publisher's website (www.SilverLeafBooks.com if you need it), and considered trying the "young adult" series. I'm in my 30's, so the thought of buying something geared for teens made me hesitate, but I did breakdown and order the three books available. It may sound cliche, but boy am I glad I did! Book 1 (The Child of Prophecy) and Book 2 (The Awakening) have certain elements that were familiar after reading The Impending Storm. But, Bowyer expanded upon the Kyria / Kai storyline, giving us a broader background and more detail. Even though a lot was similar, I did not feel like I was reading the same thing again and again. The books were all only 192 pages, which made it a bit longer than some of the other Young Adult books that I have to admit I've read over the years (such as the various Star Wars Y.A. books). However, they were quick paced, grabbed my attention, and definitely helped fill in some of the gaps (not that The Impending Storm left a lot of gaps, but these books definitely brought out more of the series and displays Bowyer's brilliance at being able to juggle both without making it seem repetitive to people that read both). I strongly recommend this book and series to you. You won't be disappointed!

Bought these for Christmas presents & the teens loved them!

I bought the first two books of the series for my 13 year old son & 11 year old nephew for Christmas presents and they loved them! My son is not an avid reader and he is now walking around the house with his nose stuck in book 3. I absolutly reccomend this series!
