Daniel Coldstar #1: The Relic War by Stel Pavlou

4.0

I'm an equal opportunity reader and I do like reading books geared towards middle grades. I received this ARC from a friend who thought that I'd really enjoy the book and I did. The book starts out a little slow as the author is building the world, characters and language all at once. After about 50 pages - the story line and the adventure for Daniel Coldstar really picked up.

I enjoyed the plot and characters and the "twist" at the end. I too really liked the quote "Remember, the biggest mistake we can make is to stop asking questions; not only of others, but of ourselves." I thought what a great lesson to give the kids that would read this book.

I have nieces that are in the middle grade category and I wouldn't hesitate recommending this book to them.
