The Book of Deacon by Joseph R. Lallo
4.0

This book was Free on Amazon, and had a ridiculous number of good reviews.
It was a fantasy book, which is what I was looking for.

This book surprised me... I was expecting a cheezy or boring story, but wow was I wrong.

The characters are so well done... they develop more as the story goes on, and are actually quite astounding by the end of the book, what with plot twists and unexpected elements that come into play.
The descriptions of pretty much every aspect of the story were so vivid, I had no issues picturing the setting.

The book reminds me of Eragon, and the rest of the inheritance trilogy.
I started reading them, and was completely addicted... Being left wanting more and more.

I gave 4 Stars, as it comes very close to being one of my favorite books.
5 stars of course being my favorites.
I debated on giving it 3, because of the very slow buildup at the start of the book. I was quite ready to stop reading until the character, Leo, appears.

Great read, and will soon be reading book 2!
Highly Recommend.
