The story follows the journey of Raf, a linear 15 year old who leaves his tribe in search of a cure for his sick sister. He gains two interesting companions on his impossible quest.
The language is fairly simple, and reads like it is accessible to very young readers. The characters exist to propel the plot and for the author to present his ideologies on strong/weak, kind/cruel. It reads like your typical fantasy player-character adventure. The backdrop is fantasy, which is another interesting deviation from the author's usual action-packed 'real world' thriller. Do I like the departure from the norm? Definitely. It's like seeing teachers dressed like normal people on the weekend. Like your GP at a Bon Jovi concert. Refreshing.
Can't wait for this to become a paperback.
