The Warrior Heir Hyperion Paperback 2006
Summary
Jackson (Jack) Swift is a regular boy growing up in Trinity, Ohio, until the day he forgets to take his medicine, and nearly blows a boy off the soccer field. That's when he finds out he's a Warrior, and warriors, in this magical society that Jack is now a part of, are supposed to fight other warriors to the death. Jack begins his training, and soon finds out that there is a lot more to this magical world than just swinging a sword around and casting a charm here and there. There's murders, secret plots, running, hiding, enemies, and friends turned enemies, and potential enemies turned friends.
Personal Review
This story was very creative, and Chima made you turn page after page to find out what was going to happen next. There was suspense, action, and a little bit of romance as well. The plot had little twists and turns in it as well, which kept me thinking, and on my toes. Somethings that bugged me however, was that Chima didn't explain things to their fullest sometimes, and I was left confused at parts. Also it seemed that I didn't feel what the characters were feeling. Something big would happen, and there would be no response from the characters, especially Jack, which was odd, since this book was told from his point of view in the third person. I was therefore left to fill in some of the gaps. However, despite this, it was an extremely good book.
