This is M.K. Browns very first book. He found me through this website, and asked if I would review his book. I agreed, as I love finding new authors. I have had a chance to read the book, and I was surprised at how much I liked this book.

Fantasy books are the genre we focus on the most with this site. Although, I don’t know if the books we review are pure fantasy. Fantasy novels usually take place in an alternate world where magic exists, a perfect example is Lord of the Rings series. While series like Twilight, Blue Bloods, and Shiver series all take place in this world and have fantastical characters.

For anyone who knows how I feel about this series, love it! It should be no surprise that I was anxiously awaiting the release of this novel. I pre-ordered my books, waited at the local bookstore until midnight to pick it up, took this morning off so I could stay up all night and read it. We were the second people in line, and were back at my house by 12:20 to start reading this book. I was absolutely riveted and amazed at where Suzanne took the story. It was worth staying up until 5 am to read the whole book.

I won’t make this a long review. The book is amazing, but it is so complex that I don’t want to accidentally say something I shouldn’t.

The biggest thing is that this book is much more violent then the last two. This seems surprising as the last two are focused on children killing children. But this is an all out civil war, and the are causalities are high. Characters we care about, and have devoted our time and energy are both wounded physically and mentally. The intensity of the book surprised me, and I caught myself tearing up at parts that were especially overwhelming.

This book review is for a series not just one individual book. The Protector of the Small is four books. The first two are smaller and build up to the last two books. This is one of my less favorites of Tamora Pierce’s books, although that doesnt mean much. I love this author and I enjoy almost all of her books.

I enjoy the world that Tamora has created in her Tortall legends. It is filled with all types of magic and fantastical creatures. The characters take the magical talents they have and go on some amazing adventures.

More than your average fantasy book! Let’s pretend that werewolves no longer frighten you, no longer surprise you, and you are craving a new twist. This book gives that to you. My favorite is that the main male character is Russian, further feeding my obsession with Dimitri from the Vampire Academy Series.

I picked up this book on just a whim, I had no idea what it was about or what it would contain, mostly because the description of the book’s plot is extremely limited on the back cover. However, the more I read, the more I wanted to read. It was easy to read and I was entertained through the book, but it has some interesting character development.

There’s not a lot of character depth yet, as this is the first book in a series. This was also problematic because most of the book was building up the background and the stage for the problem that the later books I am sure will solve. And the problem? A good one! Not the vampire loves the girl but they can’t be together, and not just your average book where vampires and pixies and all the folklore characters are normal either. If you are a conspiracy theorist, you should definitely read this book. A perfect addition to the young adult addition we all have.
