The Guardian's Wyrd by Nerine Dorman

5.0

Really enjoyed this book! It's a fast read that draws you in from the first page and doesn't let you go until the end. I'm hoping the sequel for this one is on the way soon, because I really want to know what happens to the characters and to Sunthyst.

I loved Jay, because even as a teenage boy, he's a very relatable character - I enjoyed reading the story from his perspective. He's a loyal kid, and his guts and determination made me want to root for him. His brand of magic is seriously cool! Shadow! I don't want to include spoilers here, but oh boy, that took me in the feels.

Rowan is sweet, but naive. He's a spoilt, but sheltered prince, who's really in need of a friend. I think he's as shocked as Jay at their budding friendship. I'd love to know what happens in the rest of his story. Will he rise to the challenge that comes with his lineage?

Can we just talk about what an awesome name Oryxis is? Loved that! This is a kick ass dude, and I'd love to get to know him a little more.

As for the world, who doesn't like to be transported from the real to an epic fantasy world? Bring on the unicorns and Skree, this place is amazing.

If you're a fan of well-written young adult fantasy, the kind that will draw you in no matter what age you are, I highly recommend this book.
