5.0 out of 5 stars A different sort of fantasy book., July 17, 2000

This review is from: Broken Sky: #01 (Paperback)

After so many formulaic fantasies for kids and teens (with afew exceptions) it was nice to see a series with a completely originalidea, that wasn't about dragons or wizards or unicorns, or the like. The anime style artwork complemented the story well. Kia and Ryushi are sixteen-year-old twins living in a small village with their father and brother, far from the conflicts that wage in their kingdom. They will not be protected forever. They must learn to fight for their home and their lives if they want to survive in the harsh world out there. I don't really agree with the publisher's suggested age level of ages 9-12. This book is good for that age group, but teens would enjoy it too. The book is not difficult to read, but very enjoyable and exciting.

This review is from: Broken Sky: #01 (Paperback)

I found this book in a while waiting in a store. The instant that I saw the artwork I though wow cool! Two day latter I finished the book and it was great! It always kept you in suspence. From the fighting to the wyverns. It starts in a small farm with two people Ryushi and Kia. From there the betrayal and lies are incountered. You instently attach yourself to the characters. If you like action this is the book series for you! It has everthig from weapons to magic! The others in this series are just as great! NOTE: THESE BOOKS DO NOT HAVE ANY END. THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES STARTS WERE THE LAST ONE LEFT OFF.

This review is from: Broken Sky: #01 (Paperback)

This book is absoloutley INCREDIBLE. Full of action, suspense, and great Anime-style artwork. The descriptions are great, make you feel as though you're there yourself, fighting side by side with Kia, Ryushi, Gerdi, Elani, and everybody else. This book was great. I highly recomend it. You have to read this one before you read the second one, which is also beyond comparison. BUY THIS BOOK!
