Customer Reviews

Delightfully enchanting

The Child of Prophecy, the first in the young adult spin off of The Fall of the Imperium saga, is absolutely wonderful. For a character briefly introduced in the debut adult novel, this brings a lot of depth and color and can only enhance the full reading pleasure of all of Cliff's books. Read it before or read it after, it's a great compliment to The Impending Storm and the subsequesnt stories. I absolutely recommend it.

"Young Adult" series? Good for adults too!

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!

My son & nephew loved these books.....

I bought the first 2 books for my 13 year old son and 11 year old nephew for Christmas! They both loved them! My son is not an avid reader and he is now walking around the house with his nose in book 3 of the teens series.
