Compelling and addictive read in the teen fantasy genre. Based in Ireland around the concept of a group of mysterious knights who defend the world from a pervasive force of darkness. In the words of M. Groarke, an Amazon book reviewer: "Engaging story, interesting both for its supernatural elements and....the very human emotions and experiences the chracters live through: abandonment, loneliness, fear, jealousy etc. It's also a very carefully crafted piece of writing so there's a lot of joy to be had in the very sentences of it."
Verdict: suitable for study at Junior Level
My teens LOVE Dave Rudden's fantasy books. They are well-written and don't contain any objectionable material.
