A review by crtsjffrsn
Guardian by Carole Cummings

3.0

Strange crimes aren't new to Constable Dallin Brayden. But as he sits across from Wilfred Calder and hears the story of the incident he was involved in, something doesn't add up. And Wil's reaction to Dallin leaves him even more surprised.
The truth of the matter is that there's an entire history that Dallin doesn't know. At the same time, the truth that Wil has been given isn't exactly accurate. What is certain, though, is that Wil is on the run. And Dallin is more connected to him than he could ever have imagined.

I enjoyed the world that Carole Cummings created here. There's a rich history, and the unexpected connections between Wil and Dallin makes for an interesting set up. And it gives us, as readers, some great insight into Dallin's character.

What I would have liked to see, though, is a bit more of the relationship development between these two. I'm guessing this is a set up for more in later books in the series, but there's just not that much to find in this first book.

But if you're looking for an interesting and engaging fantasy story with intrigue and rich world building, you'll find it here.
