Ratings and reviews

The first book was decent. I'd give it 3 stars. The reason I gave this one 1 star is that it is so difficult to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the story. In reality there is no 13 year old bully that would want to murder his brother because he got showed up in school. Oliver knew the people at the school for seers for around 3 days and suddenly he misses them more than anything and that is enough to decide he truly loves someone? Not only this but he's 11, he can't understand the concept of actual love. Let's say I can believe he fully understands the concept of love. He knew this girl 3 days before getting with her and she has no defining personality traits except being pretty and being kind. She isn't funny, witty or an enjoyable character at all.

The book is really amazing and trilling. With each chapter it creates suspense. The characters, plot and background is really good. They went to meet Newton to help them find the orb of kandra. Each chapter builds up suspense.

This series is a bit of a twist on normal Morgan Rice fare. While it has the same types of wheels within wheels situations, I feel it is more geared for a younger fantasy audience. Although I have been enjoying it, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around 11 and 12 year old heros who have the knowledge and schooling of those years beyond them. I am not fond of the vendetta held by Chris against Oliver. IMO, it detracts from the overall plot progression. I am still enjoying the series.
