I've read some harsh reviews of this book, and I understand some of the viewpoints. I agree that bits and pieces were borrowed from other books, (The Sword in the Stone) and such. I don't know what the point is of the 2 suns, for example. However, overall I loved it! It kept my interest, and I am looking forward to reading the 2nd book in the series.
I could not finish this book. I tried many, many times. I actually liked the story a lot, but there is NO editing whatsoever. This may be out of place here, but I contacted Morgan to offer copy editing services and heard no response. I hope for the story's sake she will find someone to do it. It could be a good read.
The most overwhelmingly generic book I have ever read. Thor is the prophecy child who is basically going to be the best child ever and so he becomes super awesome magic knight. Everyone either 100% loves him or 100% hates him right from the start, with only one character ever changing how he feels. It's not terrible, but it's basically nothing you haven't read or heard of 100 times before.
Not worth it. Horrible story line, like a rough draft. Don't even bother.
This series is maddening! Each book just stops. like... Ultra-cliffhanger. and yet... I still read them. Can't stop reading them really.

Earlier in the year I read Eragon and said that it's all the fantasy tropes written before, doesn't do anything new. This is also that, but not well written. I wouldn't even say Eragon is great, but it's better than this.
The hero's name is Thor, why would you do that? No connection to Norse mythology. He is the protagonist so he gets everything easily. Poor shepard's son, but totally knows how to fight. Just walks in and becomes a knight's apprentice, suddenly has magic powers, immediately befriends the youngest prince, wins the heart of the princess. His peers hate him, until suddenly they don't. He gets an instant connection to rare and important animals. Sure, there's technically obstacles in his way of becoming a knight, but it resolves so quickly. Then the main villain, at least in this first book, is the kings oldest legitimate son, who gets passed over for succession of the throne in favor of the princess. There's only two things notable about him: he's evil in the sense that he's power-hungry, and he's gay. We get that drilled into our head, he's got a gay lover, they're both conniving. The narrative makes a point of saying "its not that we don't like him cause he's gay, we don't like him because he's into shady business". But these are the only gay people in the story, and they're treated as a point of shame by those who know. And he's such a boring villain! He does next to nothing throughout the book. And the ending is so sudden, nothing is resolved. It feels like its the first half of a book, rather than a completed story. Nothing's giving me a reason to care!

I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews. I loved this story, and was so swept up in the book, it was like a slap in the face when the first book ended.
I can't imagine what book was being read by those giving glowing reviews. The entirety was contrived with ridiculous names and action that, while fun, was increasingly preposterous and required spontaneous increases of power. Not a terrible start as an idea to work through but not to the level of being worth publishing.
