Intense!

An intense and well-crafted fantasy ride - action packed with heart, honesty and pathos as well keeping it grounded.

Heartfelt Fantasy Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It would be a great fantasy read for a middle schooler but even as an adult it was a fun read. I really appreciated the authors subtle foreshadowing, it wasn't super in your face where you could guess exactly what was going to happen, but the clues he planted along the way sparked interest and an excitement to keep reading!

I think the themes and the struggles that the main character deals with would really resonate with a lot of kids in this demographic. Marco gets special powers and becomes really strong and goes on a fantastical quest but still has to deal with emotional hardships and eventually find the inner strength to overcome them. It's relatable and offers insight to the same struggles a lot of kids face everyday while also offering a fun fantasy escape for them.

Also the narration was very fun! A great blend of voices, I kept forgetting it was only one person!

Captivating! This book transports the reader to an immersive world from page 1.

Fun and imaginative good vs evil story

My kids (8-12 yrs) really enjoyed this story, as did my wife and I. Great adventure story in a fantasy world with a lots of action, captivating storyline, and messages of love and forgiveness. I’ve read the book as well, but hearing the author narrate his own book adds something special.
