Kai Flint and the Wayward Princess: An Epic YA Fantasy Adventure Novel by Matt Mememaro
2.0
*ARC read*
My 2-star rating means it was okay, but not a book I would reread. Others may love this more than me as it was different than my typical reads and I personally had a harder time staying engaged. Definitely would suggest for younger readers who want a fantasy book with adventure.
Fantasy
**No Romance**
*Mages
*Dragons
*Action & Adventure
*Single POV
Worldbuilding: Multiple worlds are visited along the MMC's journey. The areas and locations the MMC travels are described well, but not the worlds as whole. No map is included in the book, but I don't see a map as necessary for how the storyline proceeds.
Characters:
Kai Flint- The MMC who is a powerful mage.
Bronson- Friend and mentor to Kai.
Vuluur - Void Mage who becomes a journey partner to Kai
Mizu - Mage who becomes a journey partner to Kai
Summary:
The story begins with Kai losing his family to a dragon in which he tracks down to kill. After an experience with his mentor goes wrong he awakes in a new world with limitations to his magic. Shortly upon his arrival, he is captured due to being a magic wielder due to this world having a law against magic usage. His journey in Veriton takes many twists and turns as he discovers his new purpose in this world.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths-
*Many plot twists.
*Unique Magic
*Cliffhanger to draw you into the next book.
Weaknesses-
*Kai's power seemed to be inconsistent to me. He is said to be very powerful however he is subdued on multiple occasions. He also has a good bit of internal dialogue of not being able to handle opponents, but outwardly plays it off.
*I did not feel a connection to the characters
*I feel as if Kai's family's death should have had a more emotional impact on him. More depth.
*Minor formatting issues (kindle version). One or two grammar/missing word errors.
Conclusion:
Overall this story would be great for older children and teens. It is an adventurous journey with lots of action and plot twists. For an adult, I feel it is lacking a bit of depth and consistency.
Age: 10+
There is fighting and death that occurs. There is no romance, alcohol, or foul language.
