Nathan Roten · 2017
75/100
👍 Worth It

Nathan Roten delivers on the clean-fantasy promise — no profanity, no sensual content, biblical moral fiber, and a light-versus-dark adventure that earns its Percy Jackson and Narnia comparisons without being derivative. For faith-friendly families looking for series fiction that carries values without being preachy, this fills a real gap. The caveat is that Book 2 assumes you have read Book 1, so start at the beginning.
