The Paladin Prophecy is a full on action movie where "Bourne Identity" meets Harry Potter. I was immediately drawn into the action where Will West hits the ground running literally from mysterious black sedans. Will has always lived by a book of rules his Dad made for him. Will never preformed up to his abilities and always stayed below the radar. He wasn't even able to join the cross-country team until he promised to always finish in the pack. But as the book starts, Will notices the blackHarry Potter meets The da Vinci Code with a just a touch of James bond in this new series by this film producer. Will West grew up in the strangest of family situations. Granted, he is not the only kid who grew up with his family moving from place to place, but his family seems to be filled with secrets. His father is a master scientist at a a unveristy. They have recently settled into life in California.Everything changes, though, when Will mistakenly does incredibly well on a standardized
Very early on in the novel, I began fantasizing that the author had hired a team of Market Analyst Drones (MADs) to analyze successful YA books of the past half-generation. And that he had this conversation (probably via Skype):MADs: Male protagonist a must; females readers will adapt, but young male readers still have a hard time imagining themselves as girls. Author: CheckHe seems average but what the kids around him don't know/appreciate is that he is Very Special Indeed. Caters to typical
Will has spent his life trying not to stand out. His parents have drummed it into him that he should live by the rules they have taught him.Not knowing much more than this means you are a little unsure what's going on at key moments. The opening of the novel starts with dramatic chases, mysterious alien-like characters and some seriously odd stuff. I couldn't help but be sucked in, partly because Will is such an interesting character.Will ends up in a special place, a school that you have to be
The Paladin Prophecy is one of the most derivative, unimaginative, and reductive books I've ever read. This is the plot: boy with special powers is orphaned, but brought to a magical place where he can realize his potential -- a secret boarding school with a castle! I'm not kidding. That's the plot. It is exactly the plot of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The protagonist, Will West, even gets rescued by a giant burly man who has a badass ride. His name is Dave. DAVE. Frost's startling
This book is friggin fantastic! What a start to an awesome series. Set In a dystopian future, but not too far into the future and to be honest the way the economy and government is discussed, it doesn't sound too far off the mark. This book is like Harry Potter meets mythology and secrets like the davinci code with tons of page turning excitement. Lots of unexpected twists. I will be purchasing the next one in the series as soon as it hits the street. Highly recommend this book.
Wow!!! What an amazing book. it was such an exciting read from page one. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, it hooked me right away and I literally could not put it down. Will is such a likable character and even though he is only 15 as well as the other students he meets at the Academy, it doesn't bother me. Will is on the run from unknown "black caps" who are after him for reasons unknown to him. Out of the blue, he is accepted with full scholarship to a secret school for smart kids. When they
