Commentary Toward Books The Paladin Prophecy (The Paladin Prophecy #1)
Will West is careful to live life under the radar. At his parents' insistence, he's made sure to get mediocre grades and to stay in the middle of the pack on his cross-country team. Then Will slips up, accidentally scoring off the charts on a nationwide exam.Now Will is being courted by an exclusive prep school . . . and is being followed by men driving black sedans. When Will suddenly loses his parents, he must flee to the school. There he begins to explore all that he's capable of--physical and mental feats that should be impossible--and learns that his abilities are connected to a struggle between titanic forces that has lasted for millennia.
Co-creator of the groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks, Mark Frost brings his unique vision to this sophisticated adventure, which combines mystery, heart-pounding action, and the supernatural.

The last book I reviewed was a YA novel by a writer who was established in the adult market, and I swore that I'd start reading author bios before picking up books because I had gotten to the point where I could spot within the first few pages of the book an author whose bio includes the words "this is his/her first YA novel." I have gotten so tired of adult-market authors jumping on the teen bandwagon and pumping out books that don't read like teen novels, that are awkward or too adult orI actually stopped reading this twice, so I am surprised I had decided to keep going. On the third try, I made it to page 375. I think the reason I read so much when I didnt want to was because RandomBuzzers had sent me not one, but two ARC copies for review. Well, I mean, to review the book and give someone else the other copy.The author, Mark Frost, is already very successful and well-known in the book writing and television business (I think he created Twin Peaks and wrote the script for
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.
Really enjoyed your commentđŸ¤Ÿ
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
Buddy read with AthenaActual rating: 4.5 stars. Any spoilers will be clearly marked. That was such a stinking fun book!!!! It's also quite different from most books I've read. It was totally not what I was expecting to walk into when I picked it up. But that was ok and it worked for me. I developed such a bond and liking for the characters, which is also something I totally didn't see coming. My heart ached for Will, and he ended up breaking me just a little. I loved Nick and Ajay
Not an easy book to rate. I was tempted to give it either a 2 or a 4 star rating. The quality of writing and, at the end, the pleasure of reading the book merited a 4. However, the plotting reminded me so much of E.E. Doc Smith's books, where eventually the characters could literally do ANYTHING so that there seemed no point in even writing about them. Here we have various powers cropping up in these kids at opportune times, saving them from the bad guys, combined with completely oblivious
