This was another wonderful book! The plot
line was very well done; even the
characters were awesome and had distinctive voices. They were all unique
creating a variety of entertaining relationships. There was more than one story
line, and they all intertwined throughout the book, which I found to be very
gripping.
Micah is a shepherd boy, sent on a mission.
But, is his mission everything he thought it was? Rumors are spreading about
vicious “Marauders” attacking to free James Kestrel, who is locked in a high
tower awaiting his death. A slave girl named Robbyn, and a giant called Drift,
discover the Marauders truth and set out to intervene in their plans. And what
about all the bandits hunting and searching for a magical flute belonging to
James Kestrel? All these pieces will come together in a startling conclusion.
As the young shepherd boy, leads his beloved sheep on a dangerous journey, he
is unaware of the world changing decision that waits for both him and his
sheep.
The ending was strangely satisfying, after
everything that goes on it was hard to believe that it would actually end. Due
to his unique strategy of writing, I would definitely recommend this book.
After I finished the book, I was tempted to read it all over again, because I
could have a different perspective on things, since I knew all the answers.
I met the author and he was only 18 years
old, younger than I had expected. He told me himself that he started writing
this book when he was 15 years old! When I told him I wanted to be an author as
well, with a book of my own in the making, he strongly encouraged me to keep
working at it. When I received advice like that from someone who was close in
age and managed to publish their first book, I couldn’t help but feel
inspired.
